Questions, answered
What leaders ask us about AI strategy.
What does an AI strategy engagement look like? +
It starts with readiness and strategic alignment: where AI creates
value in your business, what your data foundation can support today,
and what has to be built first. From there we produce a concrete
roadmap. For a $40B aerospace and defense supplier, that meant a
supply chain control tower design, a multi-agent architecture, and a
Copilot Studio agent strategy with five use cases and a 90-day
deployment roadmap, delivered as a 3-month strategy phase inside a
12-month transformation.
Should we build AI before fixing our data? +
No. Order matters. Every AI system we design consumes only governed,
certified data products. Build the foundation first and agents act on
truth. Skip it and they act on assumptions, which is why pilots that
demo well die in production. The right sequence is a governed data
foundation first, then the AI layer on top.
What is a multi-agent architecture? +
A multi-agent architecture is a system design where multiple
specialized AI agents, each with a defined role and defined data
access, work together on a business process instead of one
general-purpose model doing everything. We have a multi-agent
architecture in active design for a $40B enterprise, sitting on
structured tables and views built specifically for LLM and agent
consumption.
How fast can we deploy AI agents? +
With a governed foundation in place, quickly. For a $40B aerospace
and defense supplier, we scoped a Copilot Studio agent strategy with
five use cases and a 90-day deployment roadmap. The broader pattern
is a 12-month full transformation: a 3-month strategy phase followed
by 9 months of implementation.
