NMcDonough Consulting's AI Bootcamp - Episode 5: AI Strategy and Implementation

Welcome to Episode 5 of NMcDonough Consulting's AI Bootcamp! This episode moves from AI tools to AI strategy, the essential roadmap for turning AI adoption into measurable business results.

In this session, Noah McDonough guides you through:

The Strategic AI Thinking Framework aligning AI initiatives with revenue growth, cost reduction, innovation, and customer experience

How to assess your organization's AI Maturity across five critical dimensions: People, Process, Technology, Data, and Culture

Using the AI Readiness Checklist to surface blockers before investing heavily in AI deployment

The 6-Phase Implementation Roadmap: Discovery & Education, Use Case Identification, Pilot Project Selection, Proof of Concept, Production Deployment, and Continuous Improvement

Building cross-functional AI teams with clear roles and responsibilities to drive adoption

Change Management strategies to overcome resistance and build organizational momentum

Real-world insights on vendor selection, budget planning, and risk mitigation to avoid common implementation pitfalls

How to define success metrics and KPIs that track both speed and impact

The critical principle: AI is not the goal, business value is. Every initiative must tie to clear, measurable outcomes.

Strategic AI implementation separates companies that experiment with isolated tools from those that scale AI as a competitive advantage across the entire organization.
