What’s your
AI strategy?

Diagram showing the change from low value to high value work

Generative AI is changing how companies create and deliver customer value. Some of the activities that your business does today are becoming easier and faster, therefore reducing in value. On the other side of the equation, AI is creating opportunities to do new things, to solve new problems for your customers, to create new value.

How will you create value in the future?

Your AI Strategy should outline why you need to change and how your organisation will move from Point A (diminishing value) to Point B (new and higher value work). To create your AI strategy you need to look ahead and imagine what you’ll be doing to generate value. You need to test those assumptions and then create a roadmap with steps that show what to do and when your business and people will transition from A to B.

How Tom can help:

1– Digital strategy & oversight

It can be challenging turning strategic initiatives into successful digital projects: setting the vision, managing stakeholders, choosing the right partners and technologies, and ensuring everything stays on track.

I help senior leaders set up and deliver digital projects that actually achieve their intended outcomes. From initial scoping through to successful implementation, I can help you navigate the complexities and deliver real business value.

I have helped organisations like NZ Rugby, Xero, Meridian, Wellington City Council and IoD deliver complex digital projects.

2– AI strategy & training

You've seen the potential of generative AI, but implementing it effectively across an organisation is complex. How do you set up an effective policy and working group? How do you choose the right use cases? What about security and governance?

I help teams cut through the hype and uncertainty by providing hands on training and advice. Together we create a practical approach and strategy for implementing AI that drives genuine business results while managing risks appropriately.

I have helped organisations like RNZ, BERL, NZDF, IoD and NZTA better understand and implement generative AI tools.
