Roughly 90% of companies are investing in AI, yet only about 20% of employees actively use the tools they're given. That gap is rarely a technology problem. It's a missing strategy problem: no agreed use cases, no governance, no sequencing, no owner. AI strategy consulting closes it — when it ends in adoption rather than a deck.
Four phases, one owner, measurable at every step.
Where value and risk sit today: workflows, data, skills, license utilisation, shadow AI
Usage policy, risk zones, escalation paths — aligned to GDPR, the EU AI Act and ICO guidance
Pilot department, champions network, rollout sequence — with named owners and baseline metrics
Workflow-first training, then agentic workflows once foundational adoption is in place
What executives ask us before engaging an AI strategy consultant.
A defensible answer to four questions: where AI creates measurable value in your business, what your teams can realistically adopt, what governance keeps legal and security comfortable, and in what order to sequence the next ninety days. Concretely: a readiness audit, an AI charter, a 30/60/90-day roadmap with named owners, and the enablement plan to execute it.
Strategy decides where AI should change the business. Adoption makes it real: training, champions, workflow redesign, usage measurement. Strategy without adoption produces unused licenses. Adoption without strategy produces scattered experiments. We deliver them as one arc — every roadmap ships with workflow-first training.
Net of VAT, materials and a post-engagement adoption review included.
On-site in London and across the UK; throughout France — Lyon, Bordeaux, Marseille, Lille, Nantes, Toulouse and Paris — and the rest of Europe. Remote and hybrid for distributed teams, in English or French.
“THE COMPANIES THAT WIN WITH AI AREN'T THE ONES WITH THE BEST TOOLS. THEY'RE THE ONES WHOSE TEAMS ACTUALLY USE THEM.”— Toni Dos Santos, Co-Founder & Applied-AI Specialist, Spicy Advisory
Everything you need to know about our AI strategy consulting.
A defensible answer to four questions: where AI creates measurable value in your business, what your teams are realistically capable of adopting, what governance keeps legal and security comfortable, and in what order to sequence the next ninety days. The deliverables are an AI readiness audit, an AI charter, a 30/60/90-day roadmap with named owners, and the enablement plan to execute it.
Strategy decides where AI should change the business: which workflows, which tools, which risks, in which order. Adoption is making that real: training, champions networks, workflow redesign, usage measurement. Strategy without adoption produces unused licenses; adoption without strategy produces scattered experiments. We deliver them as one arc.
A readiness audit and executive briefing takes about two weeks. A full strategy sprint — audit, governance framework, roadmap, executive alignment — runs two to four weeks. A 30/60/90-day transformation programme then turns the roadmap into measured adoption across departments.
At Spicy Advisory: AI readiness audit and executive strategy briefing from £3,500 / €4,000; two-week AI strategy sprint from £12,000 / €14,000; 30/60/90-day AI transformation programme from £45,000 / €50,000. Net of VAT, materials and post-engagement adoption review included. Big 4 equivalents typically start in the low six figures.
For most mid-size enterprises, a full-time CAIO is premature before the first adoption wave proves where AI creates value. A fractional approach — external strategy consulting plus an internal champions network — gets you a working roadmap and governance in weeks, and tells you what the eventual in-house role should own.
Baseline first: hours per workflow, error rates, cycle times, license utilisation. The roadmap then sets explicit targets per department — hours reclaimed per week, active weekly usage, workflows redesigned — reviewed at day 30, 60 and 90. If it can't be measured on a real workflow, it doesn't go on the roadmap.
