What Is The Rhythm Of Ongoing AI Advisory?

Review progress, unblock decisions and update your roadmap.
Workflow & tooling reviews
Sense-check tools, prompts and processes against your goals.
Risk & governance support
Keep policy, ethics and controls in step with new use cases.
On-call thinking partner
A sounding board for live questions between sessions.
Ideal if you already have some AI activity in place and want guidance as things grow - without adding another permanent role to your payroll.
Who Is Ongoing AI Advisory For?
Most clients who choose Hartz AI advisory already have experiments, pilots or early workflows running. According to McKinsey (2024), organisations that maintain ongoing AI guidance after initial deployment are 2.6 times more likely to scale successfully. They want a calm outside perspective to help them choose priorities, avoid blind spots and keep people engaged.
SME leadership teams
Owners, MDs and exec teams who want to bring AI into strategy, planning and board-level decisions without spinning up a large internal programme.
Heads of function
Marketing, operations, HR or finance leaders who are already experimenting with AI and want help shaping direction and guardrails.
Organisations post-training
Teams who have completed AI training or an audit and want ongoing support to implement the roadmap and track impact.
What Does An Advisory Engagement Include?
Each engagement is tailored, but most advisory work touches the same core themes: priorities, workflows, people and risk.
Strategy & prioritisation
Sense-check your roadmap, weigh up opportunities and choose where to focus next for the biggest impact with the least friction.
Tools, prompts & workflows
Review how teams are actually using AI, refine prompts and workflows, and spot chances to standardise good practice.
Risk & governance alignment
Keep policies, guidance and sign-offs aligned with evolving regulation, vendor terms and your internal risk appetite.
Board & stakeholder updates
Help shaping clear, plain-English updates for boards, trustees and non-technical stakeholders so everyone understands the journey.
Light-touch coaching
Regular space for leaders or champions to ask questions, road-test ideas and grow their own confidence with AI.
Impact & course-correction
Simple measures of progress, including hours saved, quality shifts and adoption, so you can adjust quickly when needed.
