“We want AI” can mean three different purchases: a diagnostic, training, or a build.

What each purchase solves

Advisory: you don’t know where to start, fear the wrong tool, need a 90-day roadmap and PMO.

Training: leaders or teams lack a shared language and need cases plus hands-on practice.

Build: the process is clear and requirements can be specified for a system or integration.

Common mistakes

Building before mapping processes — or training with no owner for adoption.

Treating licence purchase as “done” without process change and sign-off.
