We conducted an AI audit to assess tool usage, redundancies, and integration gaps. By consolidating key AI solutions and implementing a unified AI governance framework, we streamlined adoption while cutting unnecessary costs.


Staff were trained on optimised workflows, ensuring efficient and responsible AI use. As a result, the client now benefits from a structured AI strategy that maximises value without overspending.

AI Literacy to Upskill & Drive Change

The AI training equipped teams with the knowledge to leverage AI effectively while addressing concerns about job impact and workflow changes.


By integrating AI into their strategy with a clear change management plan, the client fostered confidence and alignment across the organisation. Now, their team embraces AI as a tool for growth, innovation, and efficiency.
