AI drafts first responses to new leads and common questions, with a person approving anything that commits the business. Nobody waits overnight for a first answer.
AI strategy consulting A clear plan for AI, before you spend on it.
We look at how your business actually runs, find the few places AI pays back quickly, and give you an order to do them in. You also learn what to leave alone.
Everyone says you need AI. Nobody says where.
AI strategy consulting helps leadership teams decide where AI will save time or win revenue before they spend on it. For founders, growing businesses and agencies, CB Consulting Group delivers an AI readiness review, a prioritized list of use cases, an AI use policy and a 90-day AI adoption roadmap with clear owners.
Most leadership teams we speak to have the same problem. There is pressure to “do something with AI,” a few people trying tools on their own, and no shared view of where it would actually help.
The result is scattered subscriptions, pilots that never reach the rest of the team, and real worries about customer data going where it shouldn’t. A short, honest review fixes that. You get a ranked list of opportunities, a realistic cost for each, and a plan your team can follow.
What you get.
A plan written for the people who will run it, not a slide deck that sits in a folder. Every recommendation comes with an owner, an effort estimate and a way to tell whether it worked.
- An AI readiness review of your tools, data, processes and team
- A prioritized list of use cases, with effort and payback for each
- A 90-day adoption roadmap with clear owners and milestones
- Recommendations on tools and likely running costs
- Sensible guardrails for your data, including an AI use policy your team can follow
- A short read-out session with your leadership team, and the written report to keep
How it works.
A fixed-scope review, typically a few weeks, ending in a plan you can act on the following Monday.
Step 1
Listen
Short conversations with leadership and the people doing the work, to see where time, money and leads are lost today.
Step 2
Review
We look at your systems, data and current AI use, and check what is safe, what is useful and what is already paid for.
Step 3
Prioritize
Each opportunity is scored on payback, effort and risk, so the first win is quick and the list stays honest.
Step 4
Plan and hand over
You get the 90-day roadmap, the policy and a read-out session. We can build the first item with you, or hand it to your team.
Typical opportunities.
Examples of what a review often finds. Your list will depend on how your business runs.
Proposals and documents
First drafts of proposals, reports and summaries from your own templates and past work, so each one starts from a solid draft instead of a blank page.
Answers from your own knowledge
Staff ask questions of policies, past projects and product information instead of searching shared drives. Fewer interruptions for the people who know the answers.
Reporting that writes itself
Weekly summaries of sales, delivery and finance numbers, in plain English, sent to the people who need them. Nobody waits for someone to pull the numbers together.
Who it’s for.
Leadership teams who know AI matters but want a plan before they spend. We work remotely with US businesses, UK businesses and clients worldwide.
Questions about AI strategy consulting.
More general questions are answered on the services page, and pricing is set out there too.
We’ve barely started with AI. Is it too early for a strategy?
No. That is often the best time. A short review stops money going on the wrong tools and gives you a safe first project. If the honest answer is that a simpler fix comes first, we will say so.
How long does the review take, and what does it cost?
Typically a few weeks. It is quoted per project, with a fixed price agreed before work starts. See how engagements are priced.
Will you tell us to buy a particular tool?
Only if it is the right fit. Where your existing tools already do the job, we will tell you.
What about our data and confidentiality?
The plan includes guardrails for which data can be used with which tools, based on business-grade services that do not train on your data. We follow India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and agree how your data is handled, including the rules that apply in your country, before any work starts.
Do you build what the roadmap recommends?
We can. You can ask us to build the first item, often a workflow automation or an AI agent. You are free to take the plan to your own team or another supplier.
What is an AI readiness assessment?
An AI readiness assessment is a short review of whether your business is ready to use AI well, and where to start. We call ours an AI readiness review: we look at your tools, data, processes and team, check what is safe and already paid for, and rank the opportunities by payback, effort and risk.
AI roadmap vs AI pilot: which do I need?
Usually the roadmap first, then the pilot. A pilot chosen without a plan often never reaches the rest of the team. The 90-day AI adoption roadmap tells you which pilot to run first and how to judge whether it worked. If you already know your first project, we can build it with you.
Plan your AI adoption roadmap around what pays back first.
