Three named programmes. One diagnostic. Designed to be bought together or sequenced over twelve months. Built so the org, the people, and the AI move at the same speed, in the same direction, from the same playbook.
Each programme is buyable on its own. Each one works harder when the other two are running. Most C-suites start with the diagnostic, see where the gaps are, and choose one programme to lead with. By month nine, most are running all three.
Where the business is heading, and whether the org can get there.
Who plays which role when the change arrives.
Whether your leaders are fluent or just impressed.
The Future Readiness diagnostic is the single best starting point. Thirty minutes of your senior team's time. A scored report across the three pillars and the nine dimensions. A one-call debrief, free, no follow-up unless you ask for one.
Take the diagnosticThe programmes are the substance. The formats are how we deliver them. Most engagements use two or three of these together.
60 to 90 minutes. Conference, off-site, board day. Cathy or Tim on stage. Built around the questions your audience is already asking. Walks them out with a frame they didn't have when they walked in.
Half-day to two-day. Closed senior-team session. Diagnostic plus discussion plus a written outcome. The format we use for Practical AI for Leaders and the Future Ready Insights Workshop.
Ongoing. Monthly or quarterly. The pattern we use for the AI Council and for clients who want a sustained outside voice. Calibrated to your operating rhythm.
For PE-backed portfolio companies and high-growth scale-ups. Cathy in an operating partner role, integrated into the team for the duration of the value-creation plan. Pattern set by her work with Keensight Capital.
Three short snapshots. Numbers from real engagements. Names withheld until publication permission is in place, which is the honest answer most weeks.
Three years of synchronised work across organisation, people, and the early version of AI readiness. Top-line revenue up 24 percent over the period. Deal size up 2.5 times. Source: enterprise tech engagement, Cathy Ward, 2018 to 2023.
GC Index across the C-suite plus an Insights Workshop in the second month. The team identified the missing P, redesigned two roles, and went into the value-creation plan with shared language. [PLACEHOLDER: replace with named client once permission is granted.]
Two-day Practical AI for Leaders session. Followed by the AI Maturity Assessment six weeks later. The team rebuilt its AI agenda from 'use AI' to 'be ready for it' inside one quarter. [PLACEHOLDER: replace with named client.]
[PLACEHOLDER: logo strip once permissions are confirmed. Include Keensight Capital (Operating Partner relationship), Apogee, plus three to five client logos as approved.]
Most engagements follow this rhythm. Some compress, some extend, none skip the diagnostic.
30 minutes online, scored, returned within five working days. Free, no follow-up unless you ask for one.
One call. 45 minutes. Cathy or Tim walks you through the scores and the implications. You leave with three things to think about.
Half-day with the senior team. Diagnostic results read together, gaps named, two or three priority moves agreed. The point where the engagement starts.
Monthly or quarterly check-in for the duration of the engagement. We don't deliver and disappear.
