1. Focus, Direct & Rationalise (Days 1-30)

Purpose

In the first 30 days, create space and insight by stopping what does not work and making sharp choices on where to invest.

Theme: Clean up, Insight and Direction.

In this first sprint we create space and insight. We stop what is not working and choose sharply where we invest.

1. Objectives

  • Stop the daily chaos: Identify and stop projects that add no value ('Zombies').
  • Cost insight: Map the current AI expenditure (licences, cloud).
  • Strategic focus: Choose 1-2 'Big Bets' with the most impact.

2. Activities

  1. Audit of running initiatives: Which AI projects are running? Which deliver nothing? -> Action: Kill/Pause decision.
  2. Cost analysis: Collect invoices from SaaS and Cloud. Where is money leaking?
  3. Quick Win Workshop: Identify processes that can be immediately improved with standard tools (Copilot, ChatGPT) — no development needed.
  4. Capability Scan: Do we have the people and data for our ambitions? (Collaboration Mode Assessment).

3. Deliverables (Day 30)

Phase 1 Deliverables

  • List of stopped/paused projects (savings).
  • Cost overview of current AI stack.
  • Selection of top 2 use cases for Phase 2.
  • Project team assembled for the pilot.
