The difference between organisations that extract real value from AI and those that accumulate pilot projects is the operating model. Not the algorithms, not the data, not the talent. It is how you organise decision rights, funding mechanisms, capability centres, and delivery processes around AI. This playbook gives you the complete toolkit to design, implement, and mature an AI operating model that actually scales.

WHAT YOU GET: A THREE-PHASE JOURNEY

Phase 1: Diagnose. Seven domain assessments (30 questions each, 210 total) evaluate your AI organisational design across governance, capability distribution, funding, talent, platforms, delivery, and value measurement.

Phase 2: Set Goals. Five PM template workbooks with capability heat maps, transition roadmaps, RACI matrices for AI decision rights, investment models, and change management plans.

Phase 3: Implement. Nine operational runbooks for standing up CoEs, federated delivery models, platform teams, and governance rhythms.
