AI Strategy & Adoption
AI holds immense potential for every business — but the real opportunity lies in knowing where and how to apply it. At GCD, we guide ambitious organisations through the hype and complexity, to uncover what matters and shape a strategic roadmap that turns AI from idea to value-driving capability.
As a Strategic Innovation Partner, our goal is to ensure AI isn’t adopted for its own sake, but used to solve the right problems in the right way. We don’t start with tech — we start with purpose!
Our Approach to AI Strategy
AI Innovation Workshop
This focused session is designed to align your team, surface opportunities and chart a practical course for AI adoption. Our guided framework is tailored to your goals, challenges and industry — facilitated by people who understand both business and technology.
This workshop will help you:
Understand what AI can (and should) do for your business
Identify the right use cases based on value and feasibility
Discover high-value opportunities hidden within your data and processes
Prioritise actions and investments
Lay the strategic foundations for successful delivery
AI Readiness Assessment
AI success depends on more than algorithms. Our readiness assessment evaluates:
Data availability and quality, looking at gaps and enrichment where necessary.
Technical readiness, looking at whether your tech stack or existing systems are capable of supporting AI integration .
Organisational readiness, looking at skills gaps, team preparation and if the culture is ready for change.
Ethical governance readiness, looking at guardrails, policies and procedures - reviewing risks and responsibilities.
We help you see the full picture — not just whether you can build with AI, but whether you’re ready to succeed with it.
AI Proof of Concept
Once the opportunity has been defined, the next step isn’t building a full product — it’s proving the potential.
Our AI Proof of Concept offering is designed to help businesses test, learn and validate high-impact ideas — without overcommitting time or resources too early. We help them move forward intelligently — building just enough to prove the value, direction and feasibility of the AI-driven solution.
Each ‘Proof of Concept’ is tailored to the specific goals and constraints of each company, but typically, it includes:
- Identifying a AI use case to test
- Reviewing the quality of available data
- Selecting one or more approaches to test – is this a Machine Learning (ML) challenge or does it require generative AI
- Base model selection
- Training of fine-tuning the model for use
- Testing and validation
