What You Get

Three Concrete Deliverables

Not a 200-page PDF. Executable, measurable, CFO-ready strategic artifacts.

01

AI Architecture & Use-Case Portfolio

A customised version of SHIOQ's six-layer Intelligent Automation architecture mapped to your environment — your single page for executive alignment. Plus a portfolio of AI use cases scored on business impact, feasibility, Responsible AI risk, and adoption probability — with detailed business cases for top priorities.

02

Responsible AI Governance Plan

Governance framework, policy templates, and risk register tailored to your regulatory profile (Privacy Act 1988 at minimum; sector overlays as relevant).

03

Execution Plan: Build-vs-Buy + Investment & Sequencing

Per use case: build-vs-buy recommendation with vendor shortlists (Copilot, Power Platform, etc. where relevant), investment estimate (capex + opex), capability uplift recommendations, dependency-aware sequencing, and 90-day quick-wins.

+

Executive Workshop & Report

Full report + executive workshop + executive summary deck + 30-day async follow-up window.

AI Architecture

Three AI modes × six architectural layers, end-to-end.

Every Roadmap engagement customises this architecture to your environment — and selects the right AI operating mode for each layer.

Three modes of AI

Automation

AI follows explicit instructions to complete defined tasks reliably (RPA, document processing, scheduled workflows).

Augmentation

AI works alongside your team — drafting, summarising, suggesting — final judgement stays with humans (Copilot, AI assistants).

Agency

AI agents act independently — reasoning, planning, taking actions across systems (multi-step AI agents, autonomous orchestration).

Six layers · each can run any mode

Front Office · Engagement

Customer enquiry → AI chatbot → human handover

Back Office · Execution

AI agents, RPA, KPI/SLA, operations

AI Agent Factory · Build

Discover → Design → Build → Test → Deploy → Hypercare

Infra & Core Systems

Cloud, ERP, CRM, SaaS, AI platform integration

Optimisation & Insight

AI process mining, predictive analytics, decision support

Operations & Responsible AI Governance

Self-healing, human-in-the-loop, Responsible AI, orchestration
