WHAT IS AN AI ROADMAP?

A Clear Plan For Commercial AI Success

Designed to show how AI fits into your business.

We review your business end-to-end using proven methods, including LUMA’s design thinking and our own Rose, Thorn, Bud framework, to find where AI makes sense commercially.

We analyse your processes, data and tech stack to uncover opportunities where AI can save time, reduce costs or simplify operations with the least disruption to your teams.

You receive a comprehensive, practical , phased plan showing where to start, how much it will cost, the risks involved and the solutions to those risks, as well as ROI projections.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

It’s Practical, Fast & Business-Focused

We work directly with you and your leadership team.

During the session, you’ll learn:

  • Where your business is losing time and money through manual work or inefficiency
  • Whether AI could automate routine processes without disrupting your team
  • Bottlenecks that slow your operations
  • Realistic, low-risk AI opportunities specific to your business
  • Prioritised next steps

After the AI Workshop, you’ll have:

  • A clear report of findings and key objectives, the ‘Bud’
  • Insight into what areas of your business are ready for AI and which need groundwork first
  • Confidence to decide whether to proceed with AI or hold off for now
  • An understanding of how AI could automate routine processes without disrupting your team

We’re Proud of the Work We Do

“We learned a lot from the AI Readiness Assessment, which is surprising as it didn't take long to complete. The report highlighted things that were likely costing us money, and they were, which we addressed in the AI Workshop. We're now implementing the AI Roadmap with phased plan and AI Expert are supporting us every step of the way."

'The assessment's recommendations gave us clear next steps for our AI Workshop. We really enjoyed that process - the LUMA framework was a really engaging way to breakdown our current set-up and objectives. From there, the AI Roadmap has given us clear actions to achieve the Bud we identified in the workshop.’

“The AI Readiness Assessment highlighted where we needed to put in some groundwork, which we weren't aware of, and that provided a really strong foundation for our discussions in the AI Workshop. Since then we've been consistently blown away by the opportunities and potential for AI in our business.”

FAQS

Your Questions, Answered

Everything you need to know about AI Expert, our services and your AI opportunities.

What is AI compliance?

AI compliance means ensuring your AI tools meet legal, ethical and regulatory standards - from data privacy laws to emerging frameworks like the EU AI Act. It’s about protecting your business from legal, financial and reputational risks.

Why does AI compliance matter for SMEs?

Non‑compliance can lead to heavy fines, lawsuits or brand damage. With AI regulations evolving rapidly, SMEs need to stay ahead - not just to avoid penalties, but to build trust with customers, partners and investors.

What are the biggest compliance risks with AI?

Key risks include:

  • Using biased or unverified data
  • Mishandling personal or sensitive information
  • Breaching copyright with AI‑generated content
  • Failing to document decision‑making processes

AI Expert helps identify and mitigate these risks before they become costly problems.

How does AI Expert approach AI compliance?

We build compliance into every stage - from readiness assessments to implementation and optimisation. This includes creating governance frameworks, documenting risk assessments and ensuring tools meet current and emerging regulations.

Do compliance requirements change over time?

Yes. AI laws are evolving fast, with new frameworks being introduced in the UK, EU and beyond. AI Expert provides ongoing monitoring and policy updates so your AI tools remain compliant as regulations shift.
