Forward Deployed Teams

Generative AI rarely gets integrated into daily operations without the right technical expertise

Every organisation now has access to generative AI, yet few can point to a complete system embedded in daily operations that has a significant impact on revenue or cost. This gap rarely closes with more slide decks or governance models. It closes when the right expertise sits inside the organisation, working as part of the team to build the solution. Some of the challenges we help our clients solve include:

• —How do we achieve tangible and lasting business value from generative AI?
• —How do we move from the idea phase to working AI solutions faster?
• —How do we improve our internal AI capabilities instead of depending on external support indefinitely?

How our forward deployed teams build and embed generative AI solutions for our clients

Every organisation's processes and opportunities are different, but unlocking value from generative AI follows a consistent path. Work we typically do with our clients includes:

1. 01Rapidly mapping current processes, identifying opportunities and improvement areas together with the client's individual teams, prioritising what to target and setting out a play-by-play plan with clear performance metrics for closing the gap.
2. 02Embedding AI business partners and engineers directly inside the client's tools, data, and daily workflows to build the AI solutions, working as an integral part of the internal team rather than advising from outside.
3. 03Building and implementing the AI solutions in short, iterative sprints, and testing them against real users and data to ensure they are anchored in day-to-day operations.
4. 04Staying embedded through continued, hands-on support, tracking performance against clear metrics to ensure the solutions keep running, improving, and delivering value after launch.

Deliverables built from inside your organisation

We deliver an embedded team rather than a set of recommendations, building AI capabilities directly into the organisation's daily operations. Here is what we typically deliver:

• A dedicated team of experienced AI engineers, embedded inside the organisation to work alongside the client's own teams and equip them with hands-on AI experience throughout the build.
• A value and opportunity scan that identifies the potential for improvement across current processes, establishing a clear starting point for where generative AI can create the most value.
• A high-level process evaluation that prioritises the highest-value opportunities and sets out a play-by-play plan for addressing current inefficiencies.
• A fully operational set of AI solutions implemented with and owned by the client's own teams, embedded into daily operations and tracked against clear metrics to prove the improvement holds.
