01 — Challenge

Six constraints that stall transformation

Legacy

Systems built for yesterday

They limit today's integration and tomorrow's scale.

Data

Fragmented information

No single view, so decisions wait.

Operations

Disconnected workflows

Cost rises, productivity does not.

Intelligence

AI not yet ready

No governed data foundation underneath.

Cloud

Migrated, not modernized

Same architecture, new invoice.

Agility

Change costs too much

Every shift needs a reengineering project.

Technology creates value when it changes how the business performs.

02 — Sequence

Foundation, then intelligence, then reach

IntelligenceThen make it think
Enterprise AIIntelligent automationIgnis AI platform

ReachThen put it in hands
Experience designIndustrial IoTAdoption
An AI programme without the data foundation stalls at the pilot. Order matters more than the shopping list.

Most engagements start in one layer and pull in the next.

03 — Framework

Problem to durable capability

01

Discover

Objective, people, constraint.

02

Assess

Landscape, data, risk, readiness.

03

Design

Experience, architecture, operating model.

04

Engineer

Secure, integrated, built to evolve.

05

Deploy

Controlled release with the teams who run it.

06

Optimize

Strengthen what production proves works.

Optimize feeds Discover. New priorities come from what production reveals, not the original plan.

04 — Cloud

Migration is not modernization

Rehost

Same architecture, new location.

➞
Replatform

Managed services, less to operate.

➞
Refactor

Cloud-native where it earns its cost.

➞
Rebuild

Only where the constraint demands it.

Lift and shiftCloud-native
Cost follows architecture. Rehosting moves the bill; it rarely reduces it.

05 — Automation

From scripts to intelligent workflow

Level 0Manual

People move work between systems.

Level 1Scripted

Fixed rules, brittle to change.

Level 2Orchestrated

Workflow engine owns the process end to end.

Level 3Intelligent

Decisions informed by models, exceptions routed to people.

Level 4Adaptive

The process tunes itself within defined limits.

Simplify before you automate. Automating a broken process makes it fail faster.

06 — Readiness

What has to be true before AI ships

Use case

A decision worth improving.

Value + feasibility
Data

Available, owned, documented.

Quality + lineage
Platform

Somewhere to build and run it.

Security + access
Adoption

Someone who will act on the output.

Production

Monitored, owned, funded.

Every gate is a stop. Skipping one is how pilots become permanent pilots.

07 — Effort

Where transformation effort actually goes

LeastShowcase AIThe demo everyone remembers. A fraction of the work.
SomeModels & automationOnly as good as the two layers beneath.
MoreIntegration & workflowConnecting systems that were never meant to meet.
MostData & platformUnglamorous, and where programmes are won or lost.
Budgets are usually shaped like the top of this pyramid. Delivery is shaped like the bottom.

The mismatch is the most common reason a transformation stalls in year two.

08 — Operating model

Done to you, or done with you

Project model

Delivered, then handed over

  • Fixed scope and end date
  • Capability leaves with the vendor
  • Change requests for every shift
  • Success measured at go-live

Works for bounded, well-understood change.

Product model

Owned, then improved

  • Standing team against a roadmap
  • Capability stays in the business
  • Priorities reset each cycle
  • Success measured in production

Works when the thing being built will keep changing.

Most transformations need both, in different places.

09 — Rollout

One wave at a time

Pilot

One site, one process, real users.

Evidence of value
Wave 1

Adjacent teams, same pattern.

Operating model holds
Wave 2

Scale across regions.

Support model in place
Standard

The new default way of working.

Big-bang rollouts fail quietly. Waves give you a point where stopping is still cheap.

Each gate is a decision to continue, adjust or stop.

One capability, delivered end to end.

➞
Programme

Multiple workstreams under one architecture.

➞
Managed

We run and evolve the platform.

WeeksOngoing

What changes

Measured in performance, not deployments

Operations

Decisions

SoonerTrusted data reaches the people making the call while it still matters.

Platform

ReadierModern foundations make the next capability an increment, not a programme.
