Services at a Glance

AI Strategy & Portfolio Design

Clarify ambition, prioritize the right use cases, and translate AI vision into a funded, sequenced portfolio.

AIMS & AI Governance (ISO/IEC 42001)

Design and implement an AI Management System with policies, roles, controls, and documentation ready for audit.

VORTA-AI Readiness & Use-Cases

Assess operational readiness, shortlist and score use cases, and align ownership, data, and risk from day one.

No more isolated pilots. We help you build a governed portfolio: clear owners, controls, and KPIs from the first wave.

AIMS as per ISO/IEC 42001

AI Management Systems that survive audits, not just workshops.

We support organizations that want AI adoption and governance to move in one track. Our work is aligned with ISO/IEC 42001 requirements, Annex A controls, and real operational constraints.

  • Translate your context, risks, and objectives into an AI Management System scope.
  • Design policies, roles, and processes that people can actually follow.
  • Build evidence: registers, logs, assessments, and control plans ready for internal and external review.
  • Integrate AIMS activities into your existing management systems and governance forums.

Note: we are not a certification body. We help you implement the system and prepare for certification or regulatory scrutiny.

Key AIMS Consulting Services

Modular engagements that can start from a light baseline or go all the way to full implementation.

AIMS scope & governance model
Risk & impact assessment registers
Policies & procedures design
Annex A controls mapping
Statement of Applicability support
Operating rhythm & AI-PMO design
Internal review & management reports
Audit & regulator readiness support

We can plug this into existing AI projects or start as a standalone AIMS stream managed from the executive level.

Core Consulting Packages

Each engagement is anchored in VORTA-AI and aligned, where applicable, with ISO/IEC 42001 requirements. Fixed-scope where possible, retainer where necessary.

A

Readiness & Governance Baseline (4–6 weeks)

Baseline your AI ambition, operating reality, and AIMS maturity in one view.

  • Executive interviews, data & process inventory, risk & compliance lens.
  • VORTA-AI 0–5 scorecards across vision, data, tech, people, and risk.
  • High-level mapping against ISO/IEC 42001 requirements and Annex A areas.

Outputs: 2–4p exec brief, detailed baseline report, and a prioritized short-list of actions.

B

AI & AIMS Roadmap (6–10 weeks)

Turn the baseline into a sequenced roadmap that combines AI use cases and AIMS workstreams.

  • Portfolio design: Quick Wins / Strategic Bets / Foundations / AIMS activities.
  • Controls, dependencies, and risk treatments per wave, not as an afterthought.
  • Executive-ready roadmap aligned to budget cycles and time-to-value.

Outputs: Roadmap, governance checklist, and board-level presentation pack.

C

AI-PMO & AIMS Oversight (3–6 months)

Embed an AI-PMO function that keeps projects on-track and governance alive.

  • Bi-weekly sponsor reviews; weekly core team cadence and decision logs.
  • Risk, issues, and change control aligned with AIMS processes.
  • Dashboards for value realization, adoption, and control effectiveness.

Outputs: Ongoing progress reports, risk register, value capture tracking, and AIMS evidence artefacts.

D

Executive Governance & Strategy Sessions

Focused working sessions with leadership — not training, but decision-grade working time.

  • Clarify AI ambition, risk appetite, and governance expectations.
  • Buy / build / partner decisions with regulatory and AIMS implications.
  • 30/60/90-day action plan with named owners and review points.

Outputs: Working session decks, decision memos, and a concise executive action sheet.

VORTA-AI

VORTA-AI — our consulting operating system for AI strategy, readiness, and AIMS.

Every engagement — from a 4-week baseline to a 6-month AI-PMO — runs through the same backbone. That keeps leadership decisions, use-case selection, and AIMS activities coherent instead of fragmented.

V
Vision & Value

Clarify why AI matters for your model, risk posture, and stakeholders — before tools or vendors enter the room.

O
Operational Readiness

Assess data, people, processes, and controls. Identify gaps that must be closed for any serious AI or AIMS move.

R
Relevant Use-Cases

Score and prioritize use cases against value, feasibility, risk, and alignment with your AIMS scope.

T
Teams & Ownership

Define accountable owners, decision rights, and forums — including AI-PMO and AIMS roles.

A
Adoption & Assurance

Embed AI into workflows with training, change management, and ongoing monitoring of value and risk.

Single OS for AI strategy and AIMS Consistent scorecards across units Traceable decisions and controls

How We Work

Same structure, different depth depending on your starting point. No uncontrolled pilots, no blind “experiments”.

1Vision & Scope

Clarify ambition, constraints, stakeholders, and AIMS scope. Capture what “good” looks like for your context.

2Readiness & Risk

Assess data, processes, capabilities, and current controls using VORTA-AI scorecards and AIMS lenses.

3Use-Cases & Roadmap

Shortlist, score, and sequence use cases and AIMS activities into waves with owners and budgets.

4Pilot with Guardrails

Design measured pilots with clear KPIs, controls, approvals, and exit criteria before any attempt to scale.

5Scale & Assure

Roll out in stages, embed AIMS processes, and maintain dashboards for value, adoption, and risk.

Rule of thumb: no scale without a measured pilot — and no pilot without a named owner and explicit guardrails.

Targeted document extraction with human QA and role-based access. Result: −55% processing cost, stable quality, and structured evidence for risk and control effectiveness.

Marketing Delivery, No Shadow AI

Replaced fragmented “shadow AI” usage with governed templates and approved tools. Result: 2× throughput, consistent brand voice, and reduced unmanaged AI exposure.

FAQ

Do you implement AIMS as per ISO/IEC 42001?
We support AIMS design and implementation aligned with ISO/IEC 42001 requirements and Annex A control areas, including policies, roles, risk and impact registers, and operating rhythm. We do not issue certificates; we prepare you for internal and external audits.
What is the role of VORTA-AI in a consulting engagement?
VORTA-AI is the spine of our work. It structures discovery, readiness, use-case selection, ownership, and adoption. That means executives see consistent scorecards and reports, instead of disconnected slide decks for each project.
Do you sell or resell specific AI tools?
No. We remain vendor-agnostic. We evaluate tools and platforms against your strategy, risk posture, regulatory context, and AIMS scope — and document the rationale for each decision.
How do you handle sensitive and regulated data?
We work with clear data handling rules, role-based access, and minimal exposure. We avoid sending confidential material to public models unless explicitly approved and technically controlled. We also help you define these rules as part of AIMS.
What timelines should we expect?
A typical Readiness & Governance Baseline takes 4–6 weeks. An AI & AIMS Roadmap usually takes 6–10 weeks. AI-PMO & AIMS oversight retainers start from 3 months, depending on your portfolio size.
How will we know it’s working?
We agree upfront on a small set of KPIs: time, cost, quality, adoption, satisfaction, and governance indicators (such as incidents, exceptions, and approvals). These show up in simple dashboards and concise board-level reports.
