Data & AI strategy assessment.
An honest read. A sharper plan.
An independent, senior-led engagement to align data and AI strategy with where your business needs to get to. You set the destination. We work alongside your operational and data teams to build the strategy and roadmap that gets you there — every initiative tied to an objective you've set.

WHAT WE SHIP
Three deliverables, ready to execute.
Data & AI opportunity map
Every data and AI use case, tied to the value driver it moves and scored on impact, feasibility and strategic fit. Sorted into quick wins, strategic bets, foundational work and park — with a recommendation on what to ship first.
USE CASES · IMPACT · FEASIBILITY
6-month+ roadmap
Selected use cases sequenced across at least six months, by workstream and each with an owning pod — set out as objectives and key results with hard targets, broken down to the initiatives that deliver them.
OBJECTIVES · KEY RESULTS · OWNERS
Business case
A costed business case — total investment, annual benefit, payback and three-year NPV, broken down by workstream and by value driver (revenue, cost, risk).

HOW WE WORK
Product mindset. Outcomes first.
Ilma AI is led by senior data and AI strategists who have set direction at high-growth companies and argued the case for AI investment at board level. You tell us where the business needs to get to. We work alongside your operational and data teams to interview stakeholders, conduct requirements elicitation, and align data strategy with company goals — then deliver the roadmap your business can act on.
01
Outcomes
Goals, opportunities and feasibility — read together, not in silos.
02
Opinions
We recommend what to do, not just what we saw.
03
Senior-led
Every session run by people who've built this before.

THE ENGAGEMENT
one session / week
Four sessions. Goals to roadmap.
01
Goals & targets
One short session with the executive sponsor and heads of function. They set the objectives; we capture each one with a measure — its current value and target.
02
Opportunities by value driver
We list where data and AI can move each objective, grouped under three value drivers: grow revenue, cut cost, reduce risk. Each opportunity links to one driver and one objective.
03
Complexity & prioritisation
Each opportunity is assessed for impact, feasibility, and strategic fit. Feasibility considers the data available, systems involved, risks, and organisational change required. Initiatives are then prioritised into delivery or proof-of-concept tracks.
04
Strategy & roadmap readout
All three deliverables, presented live to leadership: the opportunity map, the 6-month roadmap (objectives, key results, owners), and the business case (costed by value driver).
