After the AI Jump Start

Phase 2: cost it, build it, and RUN IT.

Phase 2 — cost, build and run

Your Jump Start gave you the strategy and the 90-day roadmap. Phase 2 is where we make it real.

We cost the plan in detail, deliver the priority use-cases, and embed the governance to run AI safely at pace — with our own AI teammates in the room.

Where Phase 2 picks up

The plan is the start. Phase 2 is the doing.

The AI Jump Start deliberately stops at strategy and a costed-ready roadmap — so you commit to delivery with a clear head, not a blank cheque. Phase 2 is where we cost it in full, build it, and run it.

What Phase 2 delivers

Cost, build & run.

Cost

Cost & business case

We turn the 90-day roadmap into a fully costed, board-ready investment case — scope, effort, ROI and payback — so leadership can commit with confidence.

  • Detailed costing of the prioritised use-cases
  • ROI, payback and risk in board language
  • A clear, staged investment ask
Build

Build & orchestrate

We stand up the priority use-cases from your Jump Start, engage and orchestrate the right AI providers, and build the readiness underneath — people, governance and literacy.

  • First use-cases delivered, not just designed
  • Vendor-neutral orchestration of your AI providers
  • Readiness built in parallel (people, data, governance)
Run

Govern & run

We embed the decision rights and governance to run AI at pace without losing control, measure value against the KPIs set in the Jump Start, and keep delivery honest.

  • Governance that moves at AI speed
  • Value measured against your Jump Start KPIs
  • Ongoing orchestration so it keeps delivering
What we build

The building blocks of an AI Ready operation.

Phase 2 stands up the parts of your operating model that make AI work — the skills analysis and the AI Ready operating dimensions, sequenced from your Jump Start roadmap.

Skills analysis

A capability and skills-gap assessment — where your people are today versus the AI-ready roles ahead, and the uplift path to close it.

Value centres

Your value-generating units reconfigured to be AI-capable, so AI lands where it creates the most impact.

Institutional memory

Your organisational knowledge captured and structured so both people and AI can draw on it.

Decision flow

The governance model in operation — decisions made, governed and executed at machine speed.

Hybrid work

Humans and AI teammates working together across the business, with clear ownership.

Role evolution

Your people supported into AI-ready roles — orchestrating and governing AI outcomes.

How we work in Phase 2

We lead the delivery — your team keeps the muscle.

EPiC operators run Phase 2 alongside your people, with our own AI teammates embedded so you see AI working, not just hear about it. Scope and investment are shaped from your Jump Start roadmap — no open-ended consulting, and knowledge transfer baked in so the capability stays with you.

Why EPiC

We're the change-and-people operators who've re-shaped how enterprises actually work — for a decade, in the room, when it's hard. Phase 2 is delivery led by people who've shipped this before.

Operators. Not theorists.
