Every executive team is asking the same question: "What should we be doing with AI?"

The challenge isn't a shortage of AI solutions — it's knowing which ones will genuinely move the needle for your business, which carry hidden risk, and which are simply hype. Meanwhile, teams are already experimenting with AI tools without governance, vendors are making bold claims, and competitors are announcing AI initiatives.

At estrat, we bring the same structured, independent advisory approach that our clients have trusted for 25 years to the most significant technology shift since cloud. We help you assess AI opportunities with clear eyes, manage the risks, and deploy initiatives that deliver measurable results.

How We Can Help

AI Readiness Assessment

AI Disruption Threat Assessment

A structured evaluation of your organisation's readiness to adopt AI, covering business process mapping, data maturity, technical infrastructure, risk appetite, and workforce preparedness. We identify where AI can deliver genuine value and where your organisation needs to build foundations first. The assessment produces a prioritised roadmap with realistic timelines, investment guidance, and quick wins.

AI Disruption Threat Assessment

Most AI conversations focus on opportunity. We also examine the other side: where could AI-enabled competitors, new market entrants, or shifting customer expectations threaten your current business model? Our disruption assessment helps boards and leadership teams understand their exposure and develop defensive strategies before disruption arrives — not after.

Governance & Policy Frameworks

AI Disruption Threat Assessment

Governance & Policy Frameworks

AI adoption without governance is a risk your organisation can't afford. We develop practical AI governance frameworks covering acceptable use policies, data handling requirements, output validation processes, human oversight protocols, and regulatory compliance. Built on our deep enterprise security and compliance experience, these frameworks give your teams the confidence to innovate within safe boundaries.

Vendor Evaluation & Selection

AI Training & Change Management

Governance & Policy Frameworks

The AI market is crowded and fast-moving. We provide independent, vendor-neutral evaluation of AI platforms and solutions — comparing capability, security posture, compliance requirements, integration complexity, total cost of ownership, and enterprise readiness. As an independent consultancy, our recommendations serve your interests, not a vendor partnership.

Pilot Design & Implementation

AI Training & Change Management

The gap between AI experimentation and production value is where most organisations stall. We design structured pilot programs with clear success criteria, appropriate data controls, stakeholder engagement, and defined pathways from pilot to scale. Our project management methodology, developed through decades of enterprise transformations, ensures AI initiatives follow the same rigour as any mission-critical project.

AI Training & Change Management

Technology adoption succeeds or fails on people. We deliver practical AI literacy programs for leadership teams, operational staff, and technical teams — building understanding of what AI can and can't do, how to use AI tools effectively, and how to maintain critical thinking when working with AI-generated outputs.

Why estrat for AI

INDEPENDENT & VENDOR-NEUTRAL

We don't resell AI products or earn referral fees. Our advice serves your interests alone. When we evaluate AI vendors, our only agenda is finding the right fit for your organisation.

SECURITY-FIRST MINDSET

AI introduces new categories of risk — data exposure, model hallucination, compliance gaps, shadow AI usage. Our deep enterprise security and compliance experience means we understand these risks intimately and build safeguards into every engagement.

ENTERPRISE-GRADE METHODOLOGY

AI is exciting, but it's still a technology initiative that requires proper governance, project management, and change management to succeed. We apply the same structured, proven approach that has delivered results across our most complex enterprise transformations.

PRACTITIONERS, NOT THEORISTS

We use AI extensively in our own operations — automating reporting, building analytical tools, and integrating AI into our service delivery. We advise from practical, hands-on experience, not textbook theory.

25 YEARS OF TRUSTED RELATIONSHIPS

Our clients entrust us with their most critical and confidential initiatives. That trust, built over decades, means we understand their businesses deeply — and that context makes our AI advisory more practical and relevant than a generic consultancy could ever deliver.
