AI adoption started at the top: the executive committee learned with its own documents and now drives its AI Office.

Starting point

Frit Ravich wanted AI adoption to start at the top: for its executive committee to understand first-hand what AI can do for the business and to lead the change.

What we did

We interviewed the nine directors one by one and designed three tailored sessions, with demos built on their own documents, systems and data. The result was a matrix of seventy use cases, a backlog by department, usage guides by role and a starter kit. We now support their AI Office.

The change

Before and now.

Before

  • Interest in AI, but no shared vision among leadership
  • Generic examples that didn't speak to their business
  • No structure to decide where to invest

Now

  • A committee that understands AI with its own data
  • A backlog of use cases by department
  • An AI Office that puts it into practice

Step by step.

  1. Person

    Nine interviews

    One per director

    We talk to each director: what they decide, which documents they work with and where they lose time.

  2. Method

    Cases from their business

    Purchasing, finance, logistics

    We map the interviews into a matrix of seventy use cases, each with its area and difficulty.

  3. Training

    Three sessions

    Numerical, operational, strategic

    Demos built on their real documents and systems, so each director could see their own work with AI.

  4. Deliverable

    Backlog by department

    Guides and starter kit

    Each director left with their list of cases, a usage guide for their role and their workspace set up.

  5. Person

    AI Office

    Ongoing support

    We now support their AI Office in turning those cases into projects.

And up and running.

Result

A leadership team equipped to drive AI with sound judgement, a shared language to decide where to invest and an office that puts it into practice.
