Our approach to AI Strategy Consulting
Our AI strategy consulting isn’t a one-size-fits-all report that gathers dust on a shelf. We work alongside you to build a strategy that’s tailored to your organisation, your challenges and your goals.
AI is everywhere right now. The hype is loud, the promises are lofty, and it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out if you’re not already ‘doing AI’.
But here’s the truth. Jumping into AI without a clear strategy is expensive, risky and often ends in disappointment. Many organisations invest heavily in artificial intelligence initiatives that never deliver measurable results because the foundations were not in place, the right use cases were unclear, or the technology was not aligned with business goals.
Our AI strategy consulting services help organisations move from experimentation to measurable outcomes. We help you understand where you are today, where artificial intelligence can create real impact, and how to build a practical roadmap to get there without wasting time or investment.
We’ve been 100% focused on the Microsoft ecosystem since 2015. Our approach to AI strategy and consulting cuts through the noise and focuses on delivering results.

Find out moreBefore you invest in AI, you need to understand whether your organisation is actually ready for it. Our readiness assessment looks at all the key drivers of a successful AI implementation.
For each driver we assess the maturity of your organisation, from early exploration to realisation. We then provide practical recommendations that help you progress towards a sustainable AI strategy and measurable business outcomes.
A clear operating model, leadership support, change management processes, access to continuous learning and development, and strong relationships with diverse subject matter experts. So your teams can adopt AI with confidence rather than resistance.
Clearly defined and prioritised business objectives, use cases and measurement of AI value. So every AI initiative is tied to a business outcome, not just a technology capability.
A systematic, customer-centric approach to AI that includes applying the right model to the right use case and experience in building, testing and realising AI value across multiple business units.
Implementation of processes, controls and accountability structures to govern data privacy, security and the responsible use of AI.
An AI-ready application and data platform architecture, aligned parameters for build versus buy decisions, and plans for where to host data and applications to optimise outcomes.
Our clients have been impressed with the speed to market, and the capability that Bordereaux Sync brings to their organisation.

Our AI strategy consulting isn’t a one-size-fits-all report that gathers dust on a shelf. We work alongside you to build a strategy that’s tailored to your organisation, your challenges and your goals.
We start by understanding your business: what you're trying to achieve, what challenges you're facing, and where AI could genuinely help. This discovery phase is a critical part of our AI strategy consulting process. This isn't about finding problems to fit AI solutions. It's about finding AI solutions that fit real problems.
Using our readiness framework, we assess your current maturity across organisation culture, business strategy, applied experience, data governance and technology strategy. We'll tell you honestly where the gaps are and what needs fixing. We then run an envisioning workshop with your key stakeholders to identify and prioritise AI use cases that deliver measurable value, helping you separate the genuinely transformative opportunities from the ones that sound impressive but go nowhere.
During an envisioning workshop we’ll work with your teams to identify and prioritise AI use cases that deliver measurable value. We'll help you separate the genuinely transformative opportunities from the vanity projects.
With a clear understanding of readiness and priority use cases, we develop a practical AI strategy roadmap. This roadmap outlines implementation phases, resource requirements, dependencies and expected outcomes. It's a plan you can actually execute, not a glossy deck that looks impressive but goes nowhere.
AI strategy isn't a one-off exercise. Technology moves quickly, and your strategy needs to evolve with it. We offer ongoing support through managed services, retainer models or project-based work to help you stay on track. Whether you need help with Microsoft 365 Copilot, AI agents or custom AI solutions, we're here to help.
Our AI strategy consultants help organisations become AI-ready and design artificial intelligence solutions that create sustainable business value while following responsible AI principles.
We hold the AI Platform on Microsoft Azure Specialisation, and our team has a wealth of experience across all sectors in supporting clients on their AI Transformation journey.

We're a pureplay Microsoft partner, always have been, always will be, so we're 100% focused on the Microsoft ecosystem. That means we, as specialist AI strategy consultants, know the Microsoft AI stack inside out, we have direct relationships with Microsoft that unlock funding and support, and we're not trying to sell you a dozen different platforms.
We're also refreshingly honest. We'll tell you when AI isn't the answer, when your organisation isn't ready, or when you'd be better off fixing something else first. That's not because we don't want your business. It's because we care about delivering results, not just closing deals.
Our approach is consultative, collaborative and grounded in real-world experience. We've helped organisations across sectors develop and deliver AI strategies that work. No smoke and mirrors, no empty promises. Just clarity, care and proper expertise.
FAQS
An AI strategy is a comprehensive plan that outlines how an organisation intends to implement and leverage artificial intelligence technologies to achieve its business goals. It includes considerations around technology, data, processes, governance, and adoption.
Organisations need an AI strategy to effectively integrate AI into their operations, optimise outcomes, ensure data privacy and security, and responsibly use AI. A clear strategy helps align AI initiatives with business objectives and provides a framework for implementation and scaling.
Transparity ensures responsible use of AI by implementing processes, controls, and accountability structures to govern data privacy and security. We emphasise ethical considerations and compliance with regulations to ensure that AI technologies are used responsibly and safely.
We start every engagement by understanding your strategic objectives first and AI second. That means working with your leadership team to identify where AI can genuinely accelerate your goals, rather than reverse-engineering a business case for a technology you’ve already decided to buy. The result is an AI strategy that your organisation actually owns and can execute, because it was built around your priorities from the start.
