Three ways to work
with a board adviser.
Every engagement is structured around a simple principle: deliver value that earns the right to the next conversation. Most client relationships begin with a single session and grow from there.
AI Leadership Briefing.
A structured half-day session for the executive team and board. This is not a training course and it is not a vendor pitch. It is a working session designed to give a leadership group the frameworks, the language, and the decision-making tools they need to govern AI investment with confidence.
Most boards arrive at this session with three problems. They cannot distinguish genuine capability from marketing narrative. They do not know what questions to ask the organisations pitching to them. And they have no basis for evaluating whether their current IT provider's advice is sound. The Briefing addresses all three.
Participants leave with a clear picture of what AI can and cannot do in their sector, a governance framework they can apply immediately, and a structured view of the decisions they need to make in the next twelve months. Most engagements begin here.
Virtual Chief AI Officer.
Retained senior advisory on a fractional basis. We carry the AI agenda alongside the leadership team — not as an external consultant who submits a report and disappears, but as a senior adviser who is present at the decisions that matter and accountable for the quality of the thinking that goes into them.
The engagement typically evolves through three phases. In the first, we establish where the organisation actually stands — conducting the AI Readiness Diagnostic, mapping the current technology estate, and identifying the gap between current state and what the board wants to achieve. In the second, we build the strategy, governance framework, and roadmap. In the third, we provide ongoing advisory as the programme executes — attending board sessions, evaluating vendor proposals, and ensuring the organisation continues to make decisions based on evidence rather than sales narrative.
This is the engagement for organisations that have concluded they need someone independent, senior, and retained — rather than a vendor advisory team or a one-off consultant.
Independent Technology Advisory.
Vendor-neutral counsel for organisations making significant technology investment decisions or undertaking major transformation programmes. The problem this service solves is a structural one: the organisations best positioned to advise on technology procurement are the ones with the most to gain from a particular outcome. Requisite Intelligence has no such interest.
This takes two primary forms. The first is technology selection advisory — helping a leadership team build requirements, evaluate options rigorously, and negotiate from a position of informed strength. The second is programme oversight — providing an independent voice for a board when a major technology programme is already in flight, with a mandate to challenge delivery teams, surface risk, and ensure accountability is maintained.
Both services are available as fixed-fee engagements or retained on a monthly basis for the duration of the relevant decision or programme.
Bespoke Agentic AI.
For organisations that have developed a clear AI strategy and identified specific, well-defined processes that warrant custom automation, Requisite Intelligence can design, build, and operate bespoke agentic AI solutions. This capability — drawing on modern AI platforms including n8n, LangChain, and similar tooling — is available to clients in retained advisory engagements where the use cases have been properly assessed and prioritised.
This is not a standalone product and it is not offered to organisations that have not yet completed a readiness assessment. Custom AI deployment without a sound strategic foundation is one of the most reliable ways to generate cost without generating value.
Copilot Chat Adoption Programme.
A one-day facilitated workshop paired with a self-paced video training portal, designed to help organisations unlock the AI capabilities already included in most paid Microsoft 365 Business or Enterprise plans — at no additional software cost.
The workshop is hands-on throughout, built around real business scenarios and role-specific exercises for groups of eight to twenty participants. Participants leave able to use Copilot Chat confidently in their daily work — across Teams, Outlook, and the broader M365 suite. The training portal provides retained access to video content for ongoing reinforcement and new starter onboarding.
The programme is built entirely around what organisations already have. It provides a clear and informed view of what the paid Microsoft 365 Copilot add-on adds — without the sales pressure that typically accompanies that conversation.
