AI for the C-suite — a 90-day kickoff for enterprise AI

CEOs do not need another AI deck. They need a defensible 90-day kickoff that produces a maturity baseline, a prioritized use case portfolio, a governance posture and a board-ready roadmap. AI-Koutsi runs the kickoff on a platform — the executive team owns the artifacts, not the consultant.

Days 1–30: baseline and alignment

A parallel readiness assessment across the executive team and operational leaders surfaces the AI alignment gap that HBR research identifies (45% of executives see ROI vs 27% of middle managers). The board sees the gap and the roadmap to close it.

Days 31–60: portfolio and governance

Candidate use cases are scored, sequenced and tied to data products, controls and EU AI Act risk tiers. The CEO sees a portfolio, not a list of pilots.

Days 61–90: operating model and value

Decision rights, ownership and value-tracking are defined for every wave. The output is a board-ready 12–24 month plan — and a live platform that keeps it current.

Frequently asked questions

What should a CEO ask about AI in the first 90 days?
Where are we on the AI maturity curve, what is our prioritized portfolio, which use cases carry EU AI Act risk, who owns each one, and what value will each wave deliver. AI-Koutsi answers all five in 90 days.
Why is the alignment gap critical for CEOs?
Harvard Business Review research shows executives consistently overestimate AI ROI compared to the managers running the work. Closing this gap with shared portfolio visibility is the single biggest predictor of AI portfolios that scale past pilots.
