Key Deliverables: Time-study audit, opportunity scoring matrix, risk & data governance review, and executive findings briefing.End-to-end workflow transformation for one focused department (20–100 employees). From discovery to production prompt runbooks and team enablement.
Key Deliverables: 3–5 redesigned production workflows, 1–3 functioning prototypes, prompt runbooks, team SOPs, governance guardrails, and 90-day scaling plan.Scaling proven workflow architectures across 3+ business units with custom API integrations and centralized AI council setup.
