How we help our clients
We know that starting with AI strategy can feel overwhelming, leadership teams debate endless use cases, cultural silos block progress, and without clear alignment, initiatives stall before launch. Leading Point’s Strategy & Culture service cuts through the noise, building a rock-solid foundation for responsible AI adoption that gets your organisation truly ready to implement solutions with speed and confidence.
Through hands-on workshops, bespoke governance designs, and change programmes, we align executives, empower teams, and embed AI into your DNA. Our consultants, with 20+ years in financial services transformation, deliver tangible outputs like executive roadmaps and adoption metrics that reduce strategy-to-action time by 50%. The result? Unified vision, accountable structures, and a culture primed for AI success and no more false starts.
Our strategy services
AI Vision Workshop
We know defining a clear AI vision can be challenging amid competing priorities. In 2-3 interactive sessions, we facilitate executive workshops to identify 5-10 high-value use cases, define KPIs (e.g., ROI targets, risk thresholds), and create a 12-24 month phased roadmap with quick wins and scale milestones. Deliverables include a prioritised use case canvas, governance charter, and executive presentation deck, ensuring alignment that accelerates decision-making by 40-60%.
Governance Structure Design
We know fragmented decision-making slows AI progress. We map your current operating model, design fit-for-purpose structures (e.g., AI steering committee, centre of excellence), and document RACI matrices, escalation protocols, and approval workflows. The output is a governance playbook with templates for decision logs and quarterly reviews, reducing approval cycles from weeks to days while embedding risk oversight.
Culture & Change Enablement
We know cultural resistance can derail AI initiatives. We assess readiness via surveys and interviews, then deliver tailored training (e.g., 4-module AI ethics course), communications campaigns (town halls, newsletters), and incentive models (e.g., AI adoption bonuses). Results include a change readiness scorecard and adoption tracker, boosting team engagement and cutting implementation delays by up to 30%.
Ethical AI Policy Framework
We know ethics gaps erode trust. We benchmark against our own AI Risk Management Framework, aligned with NIST AI RMF and the EU AI Act, draft policies covering bias mitigation, transparency reporting, and vendor assessments, then run tabletop exercises for scenario testing. You receive a policy library, compliance checklist, and integration guide for your HR/legal teams, enabling defensible AI deployment from day one.
