Define your journey
Every successful AI transformation starts with clarity: of purpose, opportunities, risks, and the organisation’s capacity to adapt. We help leaders understand what AI really means for their mission, their people, and how they work. Together, we uncover the possibilities, challenges, and practical levers that will enable you to shape a confident path forward.
Outcomes: clarity of direction, aligned leadership, a grounded roadmap
Typical ways we help:
- AI for Executives Workshop — demystifies AI, builds confidence, and gives leaders a grounded understanding of their context, capability, and opportunities.
- AI Strategy & Roadmapping Workshop — turns ideas into an executable roadmap using the simplesense Six Pillars Framework, balancing near-term value with long-term transformation.
- Leadership & Culture for the AI Era — sessions exploring the mindsets, behaviours, and organisational conditions needed for your organisation to thrive in an AI-enabled environment.
“Our research finds the biggest barrier to scaling is not employees—who are ready—but leaders, who are not steering fast enough.”

Execute with confidence
Once the direction is set, organisations need support to deliver early wins, build confidence, and embed new habits. This pathway focuses on helping teams work with AI effectively, safely, and creatively—so the roadmap becomes reality.
Outcomes: early value, confident teams, reduced risk, and a rhythm of delivery that builds trust across the organisation.
Typical ways we help:
- AI as a Core Competency Workshops — practical training for staff on tools such as Microsoft Copilot, with an emphasis on getting meaningful, aligned results.
- Capability Build Across the Six Pillars — targeted engagements spanning data, processes, governance, leadership, and workforce enablement.
- Hands-on support (to be shaped collaboratively) for early projects, change enablement, or experiments that build internal confidence.
Build Sustained Capability
Transformation sticks when capability lives inside the organisation—not in external consultants. This pathway focuses on building the structures, habits, and internal confidence to sustain progress long after the initial momentum has passed.
Outcomes: stronger internal ownership, better decision-making, reduced dependency on external support, and a culture that continues to adapt and grow.
Typical ways we help:
- Programme Assurance & Oversight — independent, supportive guidance to keep delivery aligned, on track, and value-focused.
- Troubleshooting & Recovery Support — coaching and targeted interventions that unblock progress when projects stall.
- Bespoke Capability Workshops — designed around real execution challenges and the organisation’s evolving capability.

Our six pillar framework
When applied to your context, the Six Pillars Framework helps you:
- Understand your current position and define the outcomes you need next — with capability stages that make progress concrete and measurable.
- Create actionable plans that deliver impact now while building for the long term — a deliberate “two-speed AI” approach we use to balance quick wins with sustainable progress.
- Accelerate confidently — moving at pace while strengthening the core of the business.
Together, the Six Pillars and our Three Pathways create a single, coherent system:
the pathways guide how you progress, and the pillars define what you are building.
