Common questions.
What is an AI strategy and roadmap engagement?
A structured programme to align leadership, prioritise AI initiatives and produce a phased plan — including value estimates, integration considerations and recommended next steps.
How is this different from an opportunity assessment?
Assessments focus on identifying and ranking use cases. Strategy and roadmap work goes further — connecting initiatives to business goals, governance, investment phasing and organisational readiness.
How long does it take?
Typical engagements run from a few weeks for a focused scope to longer programmes for multi-business-unit organisations. We agree timeline and stakeholders at kickoff.
Do we need existing AI in place?
No. Many clients start from zero; others want to rationalise pilots or scale what already works. We meet you where you are.
Which industries do you support?
We focus on hospitality, shipping and maritime, travel and transportation, freight forwarding, logistics and supply chain, and enterprise operations.
What happens after the roadmap is delivered?
You can execute internally, run pilots with Instio, or engage AI FDE teams for build and integration — there is no obligation to proceed with us.
