What AI services does AI-Si provide to UK businesses and councils?

AI-Si provides AI strategy development, governance and risk frameworks, staff training and AI champion certification, implementation oversight, vendor selection, and ongoing board-level AI leadership on a fractional basis.

Do I need existing AI tools or infrastructure before engaging AI-Si?

No. AI-Si begins every engagement with a readiness assessment. Most clients start with basic or no AI infrastructure. The assessment identifies exactly what needs to be in place before any tool is purchased or deployed.

What industries does AI-Si specialise in?

AI-Si works with UK SMEs and public sector organisations across financial services, legal, manufacturing, healthcare, and local government. The methodology is sector-agnostic but the advice is always specific to your organisation's context.

How does AI-Si approach AI strategy for a business?

The process follows a five-phase methodology: Assessment, Quick Wins, Scale, Sustainability, and Exit or Evolution. Each phase has clear milestones and measurable outcomes so boards can track progress and ROI throughout.

How long does a typical AI services engagement last?

Initial engagements typically run three to six months for strategy and implementation. Many clients continue on a retainer basis for ongoing AI governance, board reporting, and as new AI capabilities emerge.
