Reporting that leaves time for delivery.
Draft status summaries from approved sources, connect actions and risks, and make exceptions visible for review. Give teams more time to resolve issues.
AI-enabled business improvement
Clear priorities.
Practical AI.
Better delivery.
Understand where AI can help your business, what needs to change, and where to start.
You may already use AI for individual tasks. The next step is to help your teams reduce repetitive work, make better decisions and deliver with greater consistency and control.
CDI helps business leaders make informed decisions about AI, identify worthwhile opportunities and agree practical next steps with their teams.

A practical starting point
You can see the potential.
Where do you start?
Perhaps you already use AI to draft documents or summarise meetings. Making it useful across the business raises different questions: which workflows matter, what information is reliable, and what needs to change?
Better use of the tools. Better use of your team’s time.
Our approach
Clear priorities.
A plan you can act on.
A focused engagement, from understanding today’s workflows to defining a useful pilot and a realistic delivery roadmap.
- 01
Assess
Understand how work gets done, where time is lost and how ready the business is for change.
A shared starting point - 02
Prioritise
Weigh expected benefit, feasibility, cost and risk. Focus effort where it can make a useful difference.
An agreed shortlist - 03
Prove
Define a small, measurable pilot with an owner, human review and a clear decision on what happens next.
A practical pilot brief - 04
Plan
Sequence the work around your people, systems and capacity, with ownership and benefits made explicit.
A realistic roadmap
What does an engagement include?
Understand the work
Stakeholder discussions and a current-and-target maturity assessment, supported by actual reports, handovers and process evidence. Review data access, existing tools, skills and governance.
Make the choices
A facilitated discussion to agree which opportunities merit attention, which foundations need work and what can wait. Record assumptions and dependencies behind the recommendations.
Define the pilot
Map the proposed workflow with your teams and technical colleagues. Set the scope, source information, access permissions, approval points and success measures before implementation.
Make delivery achievable
A sequenced roadmap with owners, indicative effort and review points. Any pilot implementation or ongoing delivery support is scoped separately around your needs.
In practice
Less chasing.
More understanding.
Illustrative opportunities across programme delivery, PMO and operations. The right priorities depend on your processes and information.
Ask a better question of your business.
Bring programme, quality and resource information into a shared, reliable view. Help teams contribute updates and let leaders explore the evidence behind an answer.
“Which teams forecast late delivery, and where does demand exceed capacity?”
Fewer handovers. Less repeated work.
Identify administration and bottlenecks across planning, supply chain and production. Simplify the process and explore targeted assistance within existing controls.
Answers you can trace to the source.
Support retrieval of approved records and preparation of evidence packs. Keep source references, ownership and accountable sign-off visible.
An illustrative example: the weekly programme review
A hypothetical workflow, not a client case study.
Current position
The PMO assembles updates in different formats and chases missing evidence.
Desired outcome
A consistent review pack with visible exceptions and links to source records.
Foundations and pilot
Agree templates and permissions. Trial AI-assisted drafting on one programme, with human review.
Evidence for the decision
Compare preparation time, corrections and missing references. Expand only if the agreed criteria are met.
