AI adoption planning
Is your organisation adopting AI with or without a plan?
In many organisations, people start using AI before there’s a plan: they bring their own AI tools, pilots start in different teams, and every new idea competes for the same budget.
What changes when you have a plan?
Without a plan
- AI tools nobody has checked
- Data going places it shouldn’t
- Paying twice for tools that do the same job
- Pilots that stall
- People left to work it out alone
With a plan
- Priorities everyone has agreed
- A budget that fits the goal
- People supported through the change
- Risks being managed
- A way to know it’s working

What goes into a good AI adoption plan?
Done properly, a plan takes ten steps to put together, and it’s a fair amount of work.
Agree what AI is for
The goals, and where your leadership team stands.
Find out where you are
The AI tools in use, your people’s skills and confidence, your data and systems, and the risks.
Find and weigh the opportunities
What each one is worth, the effort it takes, and the risk.
Decide the priorities and the order
Which opportunities come first, and which can wait.
Plan the people side
AI learning, managing the change, and AI champions.
Put governance in place
Your AI policies, how you manage risk, and who approves what.
Get your data and technology ready
Make sure your data and systems can support what’s in the plan.
Match the budget and the people to the plan
Give each piece of work the budget and the people it needs.
Decide how you’ll know it’s working
Agree what you’ll measure before the work starts.
Review it regularly
And change course when things change.
How do we help you get there?
The workshops
We run the workshops where your leadership team and the people responsible for AI work through the plan together.
The research and assessment
We do the legwork of finding out where you are and weighing up the opportunities, so your people can stay on their day jobs.
The plan, written with you
What to do first and why, the risks to manage, whether your data and systems are ready, and the support each team will need. You can challenge it until it’s right, and it’s yours to keep.
Keeping it current
If you’d like us to, we review the plan with you as often as suits you, and change it as your organisation and the tools move on.
Would you rather plan it yourselves?
With The GAiGE’s Pro plan, you get the AI Roadmap: a plan everyone in your organisation can see, with each piece of work, who’s responsible for it and roughly when.

What else would you like to know?
How will we know it’s working?
We agree with you what each piece of work should change, and how you’ll check. The GAiGE, our online tool, asks your people which AI tools they use, then, in short pulses on a schedule you set, whether each one is helping and what they need to learn.
What happens once we have the plan?
You decide what to do first. Each piece of work in it can start on its own, such as a briefing for your leadership team, a first automation, or one team learning to work with AI. You can run with it yourselves, or bring us in for as much of it as you’d like.
How is this different from The Automation Plan?
In The Automation Plan, we look at one question: which tasks to automate first, and how much time each could save. Planning AI adoption covers the whole organisation, including your data, your systems and your people. If automation is where you’d like to begin, The Automation Plan is the place to start.
How much does it cost?
We always like to start with something manageable, and because we use AI in everything we do, you’ll probably find we cost a lot less than you might expect. Let’s have a brief meeting about your specific requirements, and then we can let you know the costs.
