A 2-week decision sprint, led by Pragmatic, that prepares your leadership team to make one high-confidence call in a 90-minute executive session: what to fund, what to pause, who owns delivery, and what guardrails must be in place before execution begins.
Your time: 90-minute session + targeted stakeholder interviews as needed.
This isn’t a pilot. It’s a decision gate.

2-week prep sprint → 90-minute executive decision session → board-ready summary within 48 hours
Most leadership teams agree AI matters, then lose months in circular debate: too many use cases, too little ownership, and no governance to de-risk decisions. This briefing forces the calls you have been delaying so you leave with one funded priority and an execution plan leadership will follow.
If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone:
"Which AI initiative is worth funding now?"
"What would make this pilot succeed(or fail) within 90 days?"
"What governance/policy guardrails are non-negotiable?"
"Who owns delivery, budget, and risk?"
"What do we tell the board next month?"
A proven, 2-week process that replaces months of debate with board-ready decisions: what to fund now, what to pause, what to fix first, and how to govern.
Rapid scan to surface value, feasibility, blockers, and readiness. We identify where AI can actually stick versus where it’s just hype.
We build a simple value map for your top candidates: Business impact × Feasibility × Execution readiness. This creates your shortlist for the sprint.
The core event. We facilitate a decision-forcing session to align on what to fund now, establish funding gates, and document pause/kill decisions with clear owners.
Within 48 hours, you receive the board-ready pack: narrative, decision framework, and an AI governance starter kit aligned to the chosen pilot.
Tangible outputs executives can use immediately, no decks that die on a shelf.
Shared clarity on where AI drives measurable value and what to ignore.
A practical view of readiness (data, systems, team) specifically for the selected bet.
A concise, board-ready action plan with milestones and governance guardrails.
Best for: CEOs, CFOs, and senior executives seeking clarity on AI ROI and alignment around a single enterprise strategy.
We don’t greenlight AI based on enthusiasm. We use consistent criteria so you can defend the decision to your board and your operators.
We quantify the expected P&L impact and define the KPI that will prove it.
We confirm the systems, integrations, and data realities required to deliver the outcome.
We surface security, privacy, and compliance constraints early and define guardrails.
We map where the work actually happens, including exceptions and handoffs that break automation.
We assign ownership and assess bandwidth and adoption risk so execution doesn’t stall.
In 90 minutes, your team moves from uncertainty to decisions backed by evidence, ownership, and a 90-day plan.
You will kill weak bets quickly and fund one strong priority with clear rationale.
You will identify governance and policy constraints upfront so momentum doesn’t die in legal, security, or compliance review.
You will align IT and business leaders on what’s valuable, what’s feasible, and who owns delivery.
You will leave with a clear story of what happens next and how success will be measured.
Best fit for PE-backed and operationally complex leadership teams with a budgeted initiative, executive sponsor access, and a need to make a fund / pause / kill decision in the next 30–90 days.
