# AI leadership: AI leadership without a full-time hire.

A part-time AI lead who sets your priorities, vets vendors before you sign, keeps governance sound, and reports to your leadership or board.

## Right for you if

- AI decisions keep coming up and nobody owns them.
- You're not ready to hire a full-time AI executive.
- Your board is asking for an AI plan.

## What you get

- **Priorities**: A ranked list of AI work tied to business goals, reviewed on a regular schedule.
- **Vendor decisions**: Independent review of tools and proposals before you sign.
- **Governance**: Clear rules for data, access, approvals, and risk.
- **Reporting and handover**: Updates leadership can act on, and knowledge transfer so your team can take over.

## How it works

1. **Charter**: Agree on scope, cadence, and who decides what.
2. **Run**: Set priorities, review vendors, and keep work moving.
3. **Report**: Regular updates to leadership or the board.
4. **Hand over**: Build your team's ability to own it.

## Why it works

- **Independent**: We don't resell software, so vendor advice stays on your side.
- **Clear from day one**: Scope, cadence, and decision rights are written down in a charter.
- **Built to hand over**: Part of the job is getting your team ready to own it.

## Questions

**How much time does this take each month?**

It's set in the charter, based on what you need. It can change as the work does.

**Do you replace our CTO or CIO?**

No. We work alongside your leaders and focus on AI decisions.

**Can this lead to a full-time hire?**

Often it should. Part of the job is helping you know when and whom to hire.
