Prioritize Ruthlessly
Build a focused roadmap where every initiative earns its place and every investment ties to outcomes.
What Happens in This Phase
- Impact vs. effort scoring across all candidate AI initiatives using real data, not vendor estimates or gut instinct
- Strategic alignment analysis: does each initiative serve the 12-month business vision, or just the technology roadmap?
- ROI estimation with honest assumptions — accounting for integration costs, data preparation, and organizational change management
- Initiative stack-ranking with clear ownership, milestones, and decision gates at every phase
- Deliberate killing of projects that sound exciting but will not move the needle on business outcomes
What Gets Delivered
Ranked Initiative Backlog
Every AI initiative scored, ranked, and assigned an owner. No ambiguity about what comes first and why.
Outcome-Tied Milestones
Clear milestones tied to business results, not activity metrics. Progress measured by what shipped, not what was planned.
Honest Feasibility Assessment
Each initiative evaluated for technical viability, data readiness, and organizational capacity. Saves months of wasted effort.
Opinionated Roadmap
A roadmap that makes hard trade-offs explicit. Not a wish list — a commitment with resource allocation and timelines.
AI Initiative Prioritization Template
A structured framework for scoring and ranking AI initiatives across impact, effort, strategic alignment, and feasibility.

Most AI roadmaps fail because they try to do everything at once. Start with the initiatives that will actually move the needle.
