AI Implementation Leadership
You have a direction. Now you need someone to pick the right tools, build the project, and drive it across the finish line.
You’re ready to move on AI — but moving means picking the right vendor for your specific environment, building a project structure that actually works, and driving the initiative through to real adoption. Most organizations don’t have the internal capacity to do all three well simultaneously. This engagement covers all of it, from vendor selection through 90-day outcomes measurement.
Who This Is For
You’ve done the planning. Maybe you completed an AI Readiness Review, maybe you worked with a strategy firm, or maybe your internal team built the roadmap. Either way, you now have a plan and need someone to lead the execution.
You don’t need another consultant with opinions. You need a project leader who will embed with your team, take ownership of delivery, and drive the initiative from kickoff through launch…
…while managing the complexity that comes with real AI adoption.
What I Do
Phase 1 — Prioritization and Roadmap (Weeks 1–3) Map findings to the AI tool ecosystem. Sequence initiatives by ROI, readiness, and organizational risk. Present roadmap for executive sign-off before anything is purchased.
Phase 2 — Vendor Evaluation and Selection (Weeks 3–7) Build a shortlist of 2–3 vendors per tool category. Confirm EHR or platform compatibility. Run structured demos against your actual workflows — not generic product demos. Conduct reference checks. Deliver a written recommendation with selection rationale.
Phase 3 — Implementation Planning (Weeks 7–10) Project charter, work breakdown structure, risk register, training plan, and go-live criteria — all sponsor-approved before execution begins. The project does not enter execution until the plan is baselined.
Phase 4 — Deployment and Adoption Management (Weeks 10–18) Pilot through full rollout. Hypercare period. Adoption tracked from Day 1. Non-adoption addressed directly and early — not at the 90-day review.
Phase 5 — Outcomes Measurement (Months 4–6) Baseline metrics documented before go-live. 30/60/90-day report with ROI calculation, adoption dashboard, and recommendation for the next initiative.

What You Get
At the end of the engagement you’ll have:
A Note On What Comes Next
Launching is a milestone, not a finish line. If you need help designing a PMO that will give your organization a repeatable process to run the next projects without me, that’s what PMO Services are for. Or if you need ongoing leadership after launch to sustain momentum and manage what comes next, that’s exactly what the Fractional Project Director engagement is designed for.
