From stalled to sorted in 30 days.
The 30-Day AI Program Turnaround: Rebuilding velocity, governance, and contractual leverage.
Week-by-Week Execution Plan
Week 1: Triage & Contract Quarantine
Deep dive into SOWs, architecture artifacts, and deployment logs. Immediate freeze on non-essential vendor change orders; establish single-sponsor accountability.
Week 2: Technical & Governance Realignment
Model accuracy benchmarking, pipeline latency audit, and regulatory classification (EU AI Act, ISO 42001, OSFI E-23). Restructure vendor payment milestones into verified delivery gates.
Week 3: Velocity Rebuild & Shadow Deployment
Compress deployment cycles from monthly release trains to a 48-hour automated CI/CD pipeline. Stand up automated regression checks and shadow production evaluation.
Week 4: Board Briefing & Operational Handover
Executive steerco presentation with defensible ROI model, complete audit readiness package, and transition runbooks for internal engineering teams.
