Run your AI strategy like a product roadmap

Most teams treat AI as a side project: a few enthusiasts, a few tools, a flurry of pilots. Then momentum fades. Treating adoption like a product roadmap — with owners, sequencing, and a clear definition of done — is what turns experiments into durable capability.

Start with outcomes, not tools

A roadmap begins with the result you want, then works backward to the moves that get you there. The deck frames each play as an outcome first: what changes for the team, and how you’ll know it worked.

Sequence the work

You can’t fix everything at once. Pick the field with the most friction, run the four steps on the card, and only then move to the next. Small, sequenced wins compound faster than a dozen parallel pilots.

• Name an owner for each play.
• Set a one-week checkpoint, not a one-quarter one.
• Retire plays that don’t earn their place.

Run it like a roadmap and AI stops being a topic of debate — it becomes work your team actually ships.
