How Eli5’s AI Roadmap Turns Confusion into Business Value
As the commercial lead at Eli5, I’ve seen how AI can be both a source of excitement and confusion for corporates. That’s why we created the Eli5 Automation & AI Roadmap—a productized service to turn AI confusion into business value in just four weeks.
I remember sitting in a boardroom with a client’s leadership team. The CTO was eager to “do something with AI,” but the CFO was skeptical about ROI, and the operations lead was worried about data quality. This wasn’t unique—almost every corporate we meet faces the same pain points: unclear strategy, siloed experiments, and stalled pilots. That’s when I realized: what businesses need isn’t more AI hype, but a clear, actionable plan.
Specialists in AI strategy, automation, and digital transformation for enterprises.
The Real Pain Points We See Every Day
- Uncertainty about AI’s value: Many leaders ask, “What can AI actually do for us?” Without the right knowledge, it’s hard to separate valuable initiatives from time-wasters.
- No cohesive strategy: Teams experiment in silos, lacking a shared framework or long-term direction.
- Data infrastructure gaps: Inconsistent or inaccessible data stops AI projects before they start.
- Inefficient operations: Manual processes and fragmented systems block scale and leave automation opportunities untapped.
- No defined AI ownership: Without a clear internal lead, initiatives stall due to lack of structure and accountability.
- Misaligned initiative selection: Teams chase low-impact experiments instead of focusing on business-critical use cases.
- Scaling bottlenecks: Even successful pilots often fail to become scalable, integrated solutions.
Why We Built the AI Roadmap
After seeing these challenges repeat across industries, we built a productized service with a clear value proposition: From AI confusion to a clear roadmap in 4 weeks, for a fixed €15K investment. Our approach is business- and ROI-focused, not just technology for technology’s sake.
Our Proven Framework: Collect → Select → Test → Embed
- Back-office first, ROI-focused: We prioritize internal automation over customer-facing AI to minimize risk and maximize immediate impact.
- Data-driven use case selection: Every initiative is evaluated using our ICE+ROI framework—measuring impact, confidence, ease, and ROI.
- 60-Day quick wins: While designing your long-term AI strategy, we identify concrete opportunities you can launch within two months. Fast traction builds momentum and executive confidence.
The 4-Week Process: What It’s Like to Work With Us
- Week 1 – Organizational Assessment & Pain Mapping: We start with targeted interviews and a process review to surface key friction points, gaps in data readiness, and areas with automation potential.
- Week 2 – Use Case Identification & Prioritization: We identify and score 5–10 high-impact AI initiatives using our proprietary ICE+ROI framework, balancing strategic value with feasibility.
- Week 3 – Resource & Capability Planning: We define what’s needed to move forward: team structure, internal ownership (like appointing an AI Officer), infrastructure gaps, and change management needs.
- Week 4 – Report & Quick Wins: We deliver a sequenced AI roadmap, along with 2–3 executable quick wins you can launch within 60 days—all built on our proven framework.
