REQUISITE
INTELLIGENCE Independent AI Advisory
Independent AI Counsel for Business Leadership

AI is now a board-level
question. Most boards are
being given the wrong answers.

Requisite Intelligence is independent AI counsel for boards and leadership teams. No vendor quotas. No platform allegiances. No advice shaped by what's easiest to sell.

The Problem

Your IT provider cannot answer the AI question. It is not their fault.

The IT industry has misdiagnosed AI adoption as a technical problem. It is not. The real barriers are organisational, cultural, and human — and the way IT resellers and managed-service firms make their money — selling and renewing technology — makes it almost impossible for them to give a board truly impartial advice.

Business leaders deserve better than another reseller pitch. Requisite Intelligence exists to provide what the market does not: independent, senior advice from someone who has actually done the work — with none of the commercial bias that comes from also selling the product.

"The people you have been asking about AI are structurally unable to answer the question."

Stephen Harley, Founder

Our Method

The Requisite Intelligence
AI Readiness Diagnostic.

Every engagement begins with a structured assessment of where an organisation actually stands — not where it thinks it stands. The diagnostic examines five dimensions: leadership clarity, data foundation, workforce capability, governance posture, and use-case discipline.

The output is a board-ready picture of readiness, exposure, and the practical sequence of work that follows. The diagnostic exists because most AI strategies fail not because the technology is wrong, but because the organisation was not honest with itself about what it was ready for.

Leadership Clarity

Governance Posture
Are risk, ethics and compliance frameworks in place?
05
Use-Case Discipline
Has the organisation identified and prioritised the right problems to solve with AI?
What We Do

Three ways we work
with leadership teams.

01 — Entry Point
AI Leadership Briefing
A structured half-day session for the executive team and board. Frameworks, language, and the decision-making tools required to govern AI investment with confidence. Most engagements begin here.
How it works →
02 — Retained Advisory
Virtual Chief AI Officer
Retained senior advisory on a fractional basis. We carry the AI agenda alongside the leadership team — strategy, governance, board reporting, and the discipline that turns intent into outcome.
How it works →
03 — Independent Counsel
Technology Advisory
Vendor-neutral counsel for technology selection, procurement, and major programme oversight. No referral arrangements. No platform bias. The advice a trusted board adviser would give.

Adoption Programme

Copilot Chat
Adoption Programme.

One-day workshop + self-paced training portal

Programme details

Most organisations on a paid Microsoft 365 Business or Enterprise plan already have access to Copilot Chat — an enterprise-grade AI tool that is frequently underestimated and underused. The adoption gap is not a technology problem. It is a knowledge and confidence problem.

This programme addresses that directly. A structured full-day workshop for groups of eight to twenty participants, built around hands-on exercises and real business scenarios rather than feature demonstrations — paired with a self-paced training portal that sustains the learning long after the workshop day itself.
