The Executive Diagnostic and Governance Toolkit

Artificial Solutions

Score your own artificial Solutions red, amber or green, find out which part is weakest, and walk into the next budget round able to defend what you want to fix.

$199 one-time
30-day money-back guarantee Verified against latest insights, updated access provided within 24h

Each order is checked and updated against the latest insights before delivery. That is why access takes up to 24 hours rather than being instant.

What you walk out with
A scored, ranked picture of your own function, and a defensible answer to what to fix first.
1 You stop guessing where you stand.
You finish with a score, not an opinion: every part of your function rated red, amber or green, with the weakest ranked first. Evidence: a Quick Scan for the shape of it, then seven domain assessments of 30 scored questions each, 210 in all, rolled into one scorecard, plus a maturity radar and a current-versus-target gap analysis.
2 You can defend the decision.
You walk into the budget round with the gap named, the owner named and done defined, instead of a case built on instinct. Evidence: project charter, scope statement, RACI, requirements traceability and work breakdown structure, pre-filled in your domain's language.
3 The work actually moves.
The month after the decision is already built, so nothing stalls waiting for someone to design a form. Evidence: more than 60 project templates across all five PMBOK process groups, plus runbooks, SOPs, a KPI framework, audit checklists and a risk matrix. 55 to 65 files in total.
4 You use it the day it lands.
No blank templates to interpret. Every workbook opens with what it is, who uses it, when, how, a 1 to 5 scoring guide, what good looks like, and a worked example you delete and type over.
The Quick Scan is one sitting. You will know your weakest area before the day is out.
Nothing in it is generic project management: the build rejects any file that could belong to another course. Updated after you enrol, so it reflects where the work stands now. The 144-chapter course is included behind it, for the parts you want to go deeper on.
You're accountable for Artificial Solutions — but you lack a clear, defensible way to show where it stands and what to fix first.

The situation this is built for

Every day, decisions about AI investments are made without a shared understanding of current capabilities, real bottlenecks, or measurable impact. Leaders are forced to defend priorities based on intuition rather than evidence. Without a rigorous assessment, Artificial Solutions remains reactive, underfunded, and misaligned with business value chains. The result? Missed opportunities, wasted resources, and erosion of trust in the function.

Who this is for

The leader who owns Artificial Solutions within an enterprise — responsible for strategy, delivery, and stakeholder alignment. They operate at the intersection of technology, operations, and business outcomes, often without a clear assessment framework to guide decisions.

Who this is not for

This is not for individual contributors building models, technology vendors selling tools, or executives seeking high-level AI trends. It is for the person accountable for the function’s performance and roadmap.

What you walk away with

  • Assess the current state of Artificial Solutions with a repeatable framework
  • Map AI use cases to business value chains with measurable KPIs
  • Prioritize initiatives based on impact, feasibility, and organizational readiness
  • Build defensible roadmaps that align technical effort with business outcomes
  • Lead stakeholder conversations with evidence, not opinion

How this maps to your situation

  • Assessment
  • Prioritization
  • Readiness
  • Roadmapping

Before vs. after

Before
Artificial Solutions operates without a shared understanding of current capabilities, leading to misaligned priorities and reactive decision-making.
After
You lead with a clear, evidence-based assessment, a defensible roadmap, and stakeholder alignment on what to fix and why.

Format: Text-based modules and chapters in the Art of Service learning environment, plus downloadable templates and worked examples for every chapter, plus the hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.

Time investment: Approximately 12 hours of focused work, designed to be completed over 4 to 6 weeks with team collaboration.

If nothing changes
Without a structured assessment, Artificial Solutions remains vulnerable to random funding cycles, reactive project selection, and erosion of leadership trust — ultimately failing to deliver measurable business value.

How this compares to the alternatives

Consulting firms charge $500K+ for similar assessments. Internal teams attempt this work without a framework, leading to inconsistent results. This course delivers the same structured methodology used in enterprise transformations — at a fraction of the cost and time.

Also included: the full course, for when you want the reasoning behind a finding (12 modules, 144 chapters)
