An honest conversation at Create With
The Problem

Most AI strategies never ship.

200-slide strategy decks

Actionable roadmap in weeks

6-month consulting engagements

2-4 week audit to roadmap

Generic AI recommendations

Use cases scored for your business

Companies spend months in strategy workshops, produce massive slide decks, and then nothing happens. The problem isn't a lack of ambition - it's a lack of practical, prioritised direction from people who have actually built with AI.

“UK SMEs are already saving over half a day a week thanks to AI, but those benefits aren't evenly shared. Gaps are emerging across regions, business size, and how deeply firms are able to use AI in practice.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

An AI strategy consultant assesses your business operations, identifies where AI can deliver the most value, and builds a prioritised plan for implementation. At Create With, we go further than most - our consultants are practitioners who build AI solutions daily, so our recommendations come from hands-on experience, not textbook theory.

An AI readiness assessment evaluates your organisation’s current capability to adopt and benefit from AI. It covers your tech stack, data quality, team skills, processes, and culture. The output is a clear picture of where you are today and what needs to change before you can successfully implement AI.

A typical audit takes 2-4 weeks from kickoff to final deliverable. The exact timeline depends on the size of your organisation and the number of departments we need to assess. We will confirm the timeline during our initial scoping call.

No. The audit is designed to meet you where you are. Whether you have never used AI or have already started experimenting, we will assess your current position and build a strategy from there.

We are practitioners who build with AI every day, not career consultants. Our recommendations come from real-world experience shipping AI solutions across dozens of industries. We also deliver in weeks, not months — and you get an actionable plan, not a 200-slide deck.

You can implement the roadmap with your own team, or we can help you execute through our Transformation and Engineering services. Many clients start with Strategy and then engage us for the implementation phases.
