AI is moving fast.  

Now all eyes are on you. 

You're expected to lead on AI.

But, all you have is scattered tools, uncoordinated experiments & no clear strategy.

You don't need to become an expert.


You just need to understand what matters, so you can lead with confidence and direction.

You need a Roadmap

Why?

75%

of C-level executives list AI and Generative AI among their top three strategic priorities for 2025.

- BCG

50%

of enterprises are expected to deploy AI Agents as a normal part of their operations by 2027.

- Deloitte

73%

of organizations already rank AI and machine learning as critical skills and top hiring priorities.

- KPMG

AI is no longer a "side project". It's changing how business gets done.
That creates pressure - from all sides.

Your people, your board and your investors want to know how you're preparing for disruption.
 
Internally, your team is already experimenting with AI and looking for guidance.
 
Meanwhile, your competitors are taking clear steps (even if they're also still figuring it out).

If you're leading a mid-sized business, you're likely responding with what you have: scattered tools, un-coordinated experiments and policies that aren't really providing guardrails.

What's missing is this:
A cohesive, confident plan tailored to how AI fits into your business.
 
You want AI to stop being an experiment on the side. You want it to start making a real difference to how you run things.

When that happens, when AI truly and strategically becomes part of how you operate:
​
  • You make better, faster decisions thanks to clearer insights and stronger forecasts.
  • Your team gets more done in less time with better results.
  • You have faster turn-around times, because workflows are optimized.
  • Manual work is reduced with fewer repetitive tasks for teams.
  • You gain consistency with fewer errors, less rework and more reliable outputs.
  • You increase scalability because you can get more done without needing to expand.
  • You improve efficiency, simply because you make better use of your existing teams and tools; and
  • Your customers enjoy quicker response times and more personal service.
​
Of course, you know that AI won’t solve everything overnight. But you also know, it really will make a positive difference - even if just a tiny nudge or a small shift.
​
And you know too that AI is a practical way to reduce friction, free up time, and improve how your business runs.
 
That's why now, right now, it's one of the top 3 strategic priorities for business leaders.
 
Is it part of yours?

You don't need to become an AI expert.

But if you're being asked to guide decisions and shape direction, you need to think clearly about what AI means for your business.
To get you there, we begin by understanding where you are now.
 
That includes a few short assessments to surface how AI is currently showing up, how your team is engaging with it, and where key gaps have surfaced.

Then we move through a structured process that builds confidence and capability:

        We make sense of the AI landscape

 
What it is. What it isn't. And what's relevant to your business.
​
        We apply insights to workflows
 
​Spotting where AI can support - not overwhelm - existing operations.
​
        We test what's possible, and advisable
 
Small pilots designed to learn, not disrupt.
​
        We begin leading with strategy
​
Strengthening policy. Creating governance. And exploring how AI shifts how you lead, not just what your team does.​
​
This isn't a course. It's a guided working relationship, with real outcomes at every step.

You'll begin seeing where AI fits today, where it can add value tomorrow and how to lead AI-integration as part of your strategy - not an add on.

The AI Integration Roadmap

The AI Integration Roadmap is a structured engagement designed to help you bring AI into your business in a way that fits your team, your workflows and your leadership style.  

It meets you where you are and builds from there, without operational interruption.

Here's how we move through it, step-by-step.

 

Assess Where You Are

Before we begin, we need to understand what's already in play. We start with 3 assessments to establish your current approach to AI. This gives us the context we need to shape what comes next. 

Build Executive AI Fluency

Equip Your Team For AI

We start with 1:1 mentoring to help you understand what AI is, how it works in practice and what it means for your business. This forms the foundation for every decision that follows.

We deliver simple, practical AI training to help your team understand the basics, build confidence and start using AI responsibly. It's not about making them experts - just creating shared language and early confidence.

Establish Direction & Guardrails

As your team begins experimenting, we help you take the first steps toward thinking more strategically about AI. You'll shape light-touch policies and add just enough structure to support safe exploration and experimentation.

Run Pilots & Learn From Them

Together with your team, we select the best opportunities to test. We run a few focused pilots, learn as we go and track the value they add - without disrupting your current operations. This is where exploration turns into insight.

Lead Strategically With AI

At this point, you're seeing your business through different eyes. We add maturity to your policies, strengthen governance and position AI as a strategic capability. This is where AI becomes part of how you lead and compete - not a side project you're still figuring out. 

Expand Integration & Governance

Building on the pilots, we identify broader opportunities for AI integration. We strengthen your policies, refine workflows and extend AI into more areas of the business - always guided by what's already working & where it adds value.

The AI Integration Roadmap is a phased journey that turns scattered AI efforts into intentional integration.

This is the moment AI moves from curiosity to capability.

Why Choose This Roadmap

This Roadmap isn't for everyone.

It's for mid-sized businesses who are under pressure to "do something with AI". (But what they do have are scattered tools, uncoordinated pilots and no clear path forward.)

They don't need another course.

They need a way to step back, make sense of what's happening and move forward with a clear path that fits your business, without disrupting what already works.

Led by Dr Annelize Booysen - named one of the Top 100 Women in Emerging Tech - this Roadmap reflects her focus on helping mid-sized businesses integrate AI in ways that are strategic, simple and deeply practical.

The goal less about keeping up with AI. It's more about leading with it.

The Human Shift

AI is changing how businesses run.

 

But, the bigger shift is something else.

 

It's human - a human shift.

​

It's in the mindset. In perception. In how you and your team start to see what's possible.

​​

This Roadmap is built to gradually develop that shift. Not just to integrate AI into workflows, but to help your people adapt, experiment and grow into what's next, without fear.

​

This Roadmap is about making innovation feel normal, creating a culture where curiosity is supported, even rewarded.

​

Together, we’re expanding into who we need to become to thrive in an AI-integrated environment.
