A part-time AI lead, on the client side. Trajectory, governance and trade-offs, without hiring a full-time role.

Typically for an SME of 50 to 300 employees

Example
01 — The role

The role

An AI lead reporting to your leadership, but part-time. They carry the vision, weigh priorities and bridge business, tools and budget — without the cost of a full-time hire.

02 — The cadence

The cadence

A regular rhythm: steering committees, trade-off reviews, trajectory reviews. Leadership keeps control; the AI lead prepares the decisions and tracks their execution.

03 — Governance

Governance

A framework to decide cleanly: investment criteria, risk reviews, data compliance. AI stops being a string of isolated initiatives.

04 — When it fits

When it makes sense

This offering makes sense when AI becomes strategic but does not yet justify a full-time role: several workstreams under way, a budget to arbitrate, a leadership team that wants to hold course.
