Fractional data & AI leadership

Many companies need senior data and AI judgment before they need a full-time head of data or AI. Without it, the same issues come back:

• -Projects start on the latest demo instead of a written case, and stop after the pilot.
• -Technology choices are made one by one, without a view of where the platform is going.
• -The first data or AI hires are made without anyone able to assess them.
• -Leadership hears different answers from vendors, consultants and the team, and cannot tell which one holds.

• Senior judgment, a few days a month. Enough to steer, without the cost of a full-time executive.
• Decisions are written down. Each important choice gets a short document with the options, the costs and the reasons.
• We work with your team, not around it. The goal is that your people take the decisions on their own over time.
• Independent from the vendors. We have no product to place, so the advice is about what fits you.

1. 01

   First month: the map

   Interviews with leadership and the team, a review of the platform, the projects and the budget. It ends with a short written view: what is solid, what is at risk, what we would do in the next six months.

2. 02

   Roadmap and priorities

   The data and AI roadmap, with the use cases ranked by value and feasibility, and the platform choices they require.

3. 03

   Ongoing steering

   Two days a month on average: project reviews, architecture decisions, vendor discussions and the questions that come up in between.

4. 04

   Hiring

   Job descriptions, interview process and technical interviews for your first data and AI hires, or for the person who will take over from us.

5. 05

   Handover

   When the team or a full-time leader is in place, we hand over the documents, the decisions and the context, and step back.

• -A 30-minute call on where you stand and what you need.
• -A first month to build the map and the six-month view.
• -Then two days a month on average, adjusted to what you need.
