AI Strategy & Governance

Founders Forum needed to know what their AI strategy should be. That meant fully understanding the technology and what it could do for the business, putting a governance and security policy in place, and weighing the opportunities against the risks. We ran a full diagnostic and built a balanced roadmap with the tools, training, timeline, benchmarks, milestones and ROI to move forward with confidence.

Challenge

Founders Forum knew AI mattered but weren't yet clear on what their strategy should be. They needed to understand the technology and what it could realistically do for the business, and they needed a governance and security policy in place before moving fast. Above all, they wanted a balanced view of the opportunities and the risks, turned into a roadmap with real metrics and milestones they could act against, rather than a document that sat on a shelf.

Our aproach

Understand the business and the sector, run a full diagnostic, then turn it into a balanced, costed roadmap with governance built in.

Understand the business and sector

We got deep on the sector, the business, the opportunities and the risks, and reviewed the policies already in place, so the strategy fit Founders Forum specifically rather than AI in the abstract.

Run a full diagnostic

We mapped where AI was already being used across the business, both paid-for tools and shadow usage, then identified the tools they should actually be paying for.

Set governance and the roadmap

We put a governance and security policy in place, then built the roadmap: a training programme to bring employees up to speed, a clear timeline, and benchmarks and milestones to measure against.

Prove the ROI

We ran ROI calculations off the back of the diagnostic, so every recommendation had a business case behind it and leadership could see the return before committing.

Results

Founders Forum came away with a clear, balanced AI roadmap they could act on immediately. Governance and security were handled, the tools worth paying for were identified, and employees had a training path to follow. With benchmarks, milestones and ROI calculations built in, the plan gave leadership a way to move forward and measure progress rather than guess at it.

Client’s testimonial

Real feedback from teams using AI automation in their daily operations.

“The instructors from ivee have been really patient. They are great at understanding our complex questions. Previously I relied on YouTube tutorials to understand AI, which is very general. With ivee, it's been great to get that hyper-personalised training rather than trying to piece things together.”
