AI strategy, delivery and governance for leadership teams and boards

We turn AI ambition into a strategy the board funds in stages and the business can execute, in a single company or across a group’s business units. Senior engineers from our partner network then build the AI systems, with oversight from the start.

The value gap

Few companies can show what AI earns

6%

Companies that attribute 5% or more of operating profit (EBIT) to AI. Only 37% see any effect at all.

McKinsey, The state of AI, Aug 2026
7.5%

Companies creating value from AI at scale, with 2.4 times the revenue growth of companies lagging behind.

BCG, Applied AI Index, Sep 2026
2.7%

S&P 500 directors with AI expertise, while 83% of their companies report AI as a business risk.

The Conference Board, Apr 2026

These figures suggest the plan, the choice of projects and agreed measures of value matter as much as the technology.

The Praexo Method

How we deliver AI in funded stages

The board funds AI in stages. Before each new stage it reviews evidence agreed in advance, so there is no big-bang investment and no blank check. Governance runs alongside every stage.

01 Assess Where you stand today: AI readiness, risks and the largest opportunities, with today’s figures agreed with finance.
02 Decide Which AI projects to pursue, a value case for each, and an 18-month roadmap.
03 Build A first working solution on your real data; once it proves its value, it is made robust for daily use.
04 Scale Roll out what works, organize the teams to run it, and track the financial benefit for a year.
Govern, from the start A register of every AI system Risk levels under the EU AI Act People approve key decisions Regular reporting to the board
Board decisions: G1 The executive team agrees the AI ambition G2 The board approves the investment G3 Only what beats today’s figures is scaled up
