What this engagement is
A structured engagement that gives your leadership team confidence in how AI is used, governed and funded across the organisation. The output is decision-ready: a short, board-grade document with a clear recommendation and the backing evidence.
Who this is for
- Executive teams and boards asking "what’s our AI strategy?" and needing a grounded answer
- CIOs, CISOs and Privacy leaders carrying AI risk without an approved operating model
- Organisations whose AI spend is outpacing the evidence that the spend is working
What’s included
- Current-state diagnostic across AI use, spend, risk and opportunity
- Gap analysis against recognised frameworks (NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, EU AI Act as relevant)
- Prioritised recommendations with indicative investment and timelines
- Board-ready report plus an executive briefing session

Frequently asked questions
- How do we get started?
- Book a free 30-minute consultation. We’ll confirm whether this is the right engagement for you. If it isn’t, we’ll tell you — and often suggest where to look next.
- What if we need something slightly different?
- The scope is a starting point, not a contract. We adapt once we’ve met the team and seen the real situation. Any scope changes are agreed in writing before we start.
- Who actually delivers the work?
- Engagements are delivered through Xenai Digital, with Robin leading the work. For larger pieces, specialist partners are brought in for specific disciplines — always named in the scope before we start.
- What happens after we’re done?
- You own everything we produce. We stay available for follow-up questions at no extra charge for 30 days. After that, we can roll into a lighter ongoing advisory arrangement if useful.
