01
One opportunity backlog
Keep one visible list of candidate workflows. Score them using business impact, frequency, feasibility, risk and how quickly the result can be measured.
This prevents every team from independently buying tools for the same underlying problem.
02
One deployment rhythm
Move opportunities through a simple cycle: find, build, embed, compound. Each stage should have an owner, a success measure and a clear decision to continue, change or stop.
The rhythm matters more than having a large AI committee.
03
One commercial scoreboard
Track outcomes in language the leadership team already uses: hours returned, cycle time, cost to serve, conversion, capacity, error reduction and customer response time.
Model benchmarks are useful to builders. Business metrics are what keep implementation funded.
