FAQ
Common questions.
- How many people do you need from our side?
- Minimum: one executive sponsor + 2-3 stakeholders for interviews. Ideal: a 4-6 person workshop group representing business, tech, and risk.
- What if we already have an AI strategy?
- We do strategy reviews and second-opinion engagements. We'll tell you what's still good, what needs sharpening, and what's already obsolete.
- Can this run remote?
- Yes — we deliver fully remote, on-site, or hybrid. Most clients pick hybrid: workshops in person, async work remote.
