A clear AI plan your team can act on.
AI Consulting
DAIDU's AI consulting helps leadership teams decide where AI should be used, in what order and with what safeguards, and turns that into a practical roadmap. It combines a readiness review, opportunity mapping, governance and a plan for skills and delivery.
AI consulting is advice and planning that helps an organisation adopt AI in a way that fits its goals, people, data and risks. The output is not a slide deck about trends. It is a prioritised list of opportunities, the rules for using AI safely, and a realistic plan for training and delivery.
When AI consulting fits
It is useful when:
- leaders know AI matters but don't know where to start;
- teams are already using AI tools without guidance;
- you have bought tools that are not being used;
- you need to explain AI plans and risks to a board or owners;
- you want to compare automation, training and custom builds before committing budget.
How DAIDU delivers
Discover. We interview leaders and team members, review key processes, look at your current tools and data, and run an AI readiness assessment covering strategy, people, processes, data and governance.
Design. We map AI opportunities across departments and score them for value, effort and risk. We draft an AI usage policy and governance model suited to your size, covering approved tools, data rules, human review and accountability.
Build. We turn the priorities into a roadmap: quick wins for the next 90 days, projects for the next two quarters, the skills each team needs and the budget categories involved. Where useful, we build a small pilot to test the most promising opportunity.
Run. We support the first phase of delivery through regular check-ins with your project owner, tracking progress against the measures we agreed.
Train. Leadership and teams receive workshops tailored to the roadmap, so people understand what is changing and why.
What you need to provide
- A sponsor in the leadership team and a day-to-day contact.
- Time from leaders and key staff for interviews and workshops.
- Access to process documents, tool lists and, where relevant, sample data.
- Clarity on any regulatory or data-protection requirements that apply to you.
What you will not get
You will not get generic trend reports, vendor-driven recommendations or promises of results we cannot measure. Every recommendation is linked to a process, an owner and a measure. Scope and fees are agreed after an initial conversation.

FAQ
AI Consulting: common questions
What is an AI readiness assessment?
It is a structured review of your strategy, people, processes, data and governance to show how prepared you are to use AI and where to start. It produces a baseline and priorities.
Do you sell software as part of consulting?
No. Recommendations are based on your needs. DAIDU can also build automations or run training if you choose, but that is a separate decision.
How long does a consulting engagement take?
It depends on your size and scope. We agree the timeline after an initial conversation.
Can you help us write an AI policy?
Yes. We draft a practical AI usage policy and governance model for your review by your legal and compliance advisers.
