Browse by function to see how AI applies to a specific job in the value chain. Browse by industry to see how the same job lands differently in your sector.
The grid below is the structuring device we use on every engagement. It forces a function-by-function conversation, not a tools-led one.
Select any function above to see how AI applies there. With use cases, KPIs, and frameworks.
Or scroll down for the cluster-by-cluster view.
The grid is for picking. Below, the same content laid out for skimming.
Six clusters is how we cut the enterprise. The grid above is interactive; the section below is for skimming. Each cluster contains the functions where AI most often lands.
Where the business decides what to do, with whom, and under what controls. Strategy, partnerships, governance.
AI shifts strategy from periodic exercise to continuous capability.
Smarter partner selection and continuous relationship intelligence.
GRC reframed from reactive control to continuous assurance.
Where the firm meets the customer. Sales, marketing, customer experience, tendering. Revenue is downstream of these.
AI changes how revenue teams find, qualify, and close.
Marketing reframed from campaign factory to compound asset.
CX from "responding to issues" to "anticipating needs".
From document hunt to compliance certainty.
Where the firm builds what does not yet exist. R&D, product development, innovation programs, regulatory sandboxes.
AI changes how R&D teams scout, ideate, and evaluate.
Product cycles compressed without compromising rigor.
Innovation programs from theatre to compounding pipeline.
Where the firm produces and delivers. Engineering, operations, supply chain, project delivery.
Design review at production accuracy and speed.
Operations from rule-of-thumb to evidence-driven.
Supply chain from reactive control to predictive command.
PM from progress reporting to forward intelligence.
Where the firm runs itself. Finance, HR, legal: the functions where governance and reliability matter most.
Finance cycle compressed; controls strengthened.
HR from process administration to capability orchestration.
Legal at the speed the business operates.
Where the firm builds the substrate. IT, data, knowledge: the functions that decide how fast and how safely the business can move.
IT from cost center to strategic surface area.
Institutional memory as a first-class asset.
We start every engagement with a Frame Workshop. We diagnose your maturity, walk this grid with your team, and produce an honest call on whether the work is worth doing.
