A clear path from “where should AI start?” to teams shipping working AI

A clear path from “where should AI start?” to teams shipping working AI

Assess. Ready your data. Deploy. Adopt. A staged, vendor-open path with governance built in at every step.
Assess. Ready your data. Deploy. Adopt. A staged, vendor-open path with governance built in at every step.

Executives deserve a clear path, not another product pitch.

Most AI initiatives stall, and not because the technology fails. They stall because the organization skips a step: deploying before the data is ready, buying licenses before anyone knows where AI actually pays off, or training people who go back to their desks and change nothing.

We built this path because we have sat in the executive chair and lived the accountability for these decisions. Each step answers a question executives actually ask and removes a specific blocker between AI interest and AI value.

“This is the path we wished existed when the AI decision landed on our desk.”

You do not have to do all four, or do them in order. Start where you are. The path simply shows what good looks like end to end.

Step 1 of 4

Assess

AIORA

AIORA tells you where AI should start in your business. 

AIORA tells you where AI should start in your business. 

A three-week, fixed-fee assessment that tells you where AI will create real value, not where vendors want to sell it. Vendor-open, executive-led, and designed to deliver a roadmap your board can read in 20 minutes and act on in 30 days.

What you walk away with:

  • Strategic Clarity (12-month AI roadmap with prioritized pilots)

  • Working Artifacts (prompt library starter pack, AI policy templates, vendor cheat sheet)

  • Financial Grounding (business cases with go, pilot, or deprioritize calls).

Who it fits

Organizations of 100 to 600 employees

Your time

About 10 to 12 hours of executive time

Structure

Four workshops over three weeks

Step 2 of 4

Ready your data

AIDRA

Trustworthy AI runs on trustworthy data.

Trustworthy AI runs on trustworthy data.

AIORA almost always surfaces the same blocker: the data is not ready. AIDRA, the AI Data Readiness Accelerator, makes your structured systems and unstructured content governed and AI-ready on Microsoft Fabric. Skip this step and AI either gives confident answers from data it should never have touched, or no useful answer at all.

Step 3 of 4

Deploy

AIDA

Buying AI is not deploying it.

Buying AI is not deploying it.

AIDA, the AI Deployment Accelerator, takes you from licenses, or from informal and shadow use, to a secure, governed, and adopted enterprise deployment in four weeks. Controls come first: everything that decides whether AI is safe to turn on is set up before you turn it on.

Copilot Edition

Microsoft 365 Copilot deployed governed and adopted across your tenant, aligned to Microsoft's recommended deployment and governance methodology. 

Claude Edition

Anthropic's Claude for the enterprise, deployed secure and governed, aligned to Anthropic's recommended methodology.

OpenAI ChatGPT and Google Gemini editions, with the same governance-first method.

Same governance-first method either way. Because the assessment that precedes AIDA is vendor-open, the platform choice stays yours.

Step 4 of 4

Adopt

Promptathon

AI potential is unlocked one team at a time, not one license at a time.

AI potential is unlocked one team at a time, not one license at a time.

Promptathon is a five-day, fixed-fee adoption sprint that turns a cohort of your staff into teams who have built and shipped a working AI agent. The prioritized opportunities from AIORA become the real business challenges teams build in the room.

Days 1 and 2

Bootcamp and use-case shaping

Day 3

Build to a first working version

Day 4

Refine, test, and document

Day 5

Present to leadership; standout work is fast-tracked to a live pilot 

Every cohort leaves with four to six working prototypes, a trained team, and a reusable playbook to run the next cohort yourselves.

One method runs through every step.

A board-ready output every time 

Roughly 100 to 600 employees with an established IT function and a dedicated leader.

Organization size

Roughly 100 to 600 employees with an established IT function and a dedicated leader.

Executive sponsorship

CEO, COO, or CIO. Someone who owns the decision and the accountability.

Regulated environments welcome

Complex or regulated industries are not a barrier. The work is built for them.

Why BB2?

Why BB2?

Practitioners in the chair

Led by former CTOs and CISOs with 25-plus years of enterprise technology leadership. Recommendations written by people who have carried the accountability for them.

Regulated-industry depth

Hands-on experience across healthcare, financial services, energy, and public sector. When you operate under regulatory pressure, the work reflects it. 

Vendor-open by design

Active practices across Microsoft, AWS, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. At each step we recommend the right tool, not a single vendor's stack.

Governance built in, not bolted on

Risk posture, data governance, and executive accountability are part of every engagement. The output holds up to a board review, not just an IT conversation.

Designed for organizations serious about getting AI right.

You do not have to do all four. You have to start. 

Most clients start with AIORA and let the roadmap point to the next step. Some already know their use case and start later in the path. The path is a map, not a mandate.

We are not sure where AI fits.

Start with AIORA.

Our data is messy and AI cannot be trusted yet.

Start with AIDRA.

We have chosen a platform and need to deploy it right.

Start with AIDA.

We have deployed, but adoption is flat.

Start with a Promptathon.

A scoping call is 30 minutes. You leave knowing which step fits, what it costs, and what you would get.
