Built over 25 years.Deployed from day one.
We don't start from scratch with every client. Every engagement gives you immediate access to proven playbooks, named frameworks, and battle-tested tools — developed across 40+ organisations and refined continuously.
"Most consultancies arrive with a blank slide deck. Best Practice AI arrived with a prioritisation framework, a governance playbook, and 600 use cases already mapped to our sector."
IP that replaces months of internal debate
Most organisations approaching AI spend 6–12 months in discussion before anything gets built. They debate where to start, commission internal assessments, run workshops, and produce strategy documents — before a single use case goes into production.
We compress that process dramatically. Not because we cut corners, but because we've already done the foundational work. Our use case library, prioritisation matrix, readiness assessment and governance playbook exist precisely so your organisation doesn't have to build them from scratch.
Every engagement starts with access to the full toolkit. What takes other consultancies three months to develop, we deploy in the first week.
Our tools, frameworks and programmes
Six assets deployed across every engagement
AI Use Case Library
600+ validated, industry-tagged use cases — each with effort estimates, ROI indicators, and implementation notes. The fastest way to identify what AI can realistically do in your specific context.
- Tagged by function, industry and complexity
- Effort and ROI estimates for each case
- Implementation notes and common pitfalls
- Updated continuously from live deployments
Used in every client engagement as the starting point for prioritisation — typically surfaces 15–30 relevant opportunities in the first session.
Use Case Prioritisation Matrix
A scoring framework with 47 criteria across value, feasibility, risk and strategic fit. Turns a long list of AI ideas into a defensible, board-ready investment roadmap — in days, not months.
- 47 weighted scoring criteria
- Value, feasibility, risk and strategic fit dimensions
- Board-ready output format included
- Calibrated by sector and organisation size
Deployed across 30+ organisations — replaces 3–6 months of internal prioritisation workshops with a structured 2-day process.
AI Readiness Assessment
A structured diagnostic across data maturity, talent, governance, culture and technology. Identifies your actual starting point — not the one you assume — and maps the critical path to deployment.
- 5 dimensions: data, talent, governance, culture, tech
- Benchmarked against sector peers
- Executive summary and detailed gap analysis
- Actionable recommendations with time estimates
Delivered in 2 weeks — the most common finding is that organisations overestimate data readiness and underestimate governance gaps.
AI Governance Playbook
14 board-ready governance controls covering risk classification, model accountability, data ethics, regulatory alignment and explainability. Built to EU AI Act and emerging UK standards.
- 14 governance controls with implementation guides
- Aligned to EU AI Act and UK AI regulation
- Policy templates and board reporting formats
- Risk classification framework included
Deployable in 4–6 weeks — organisations using this playbook report significantly faster regulatory sign-off and board confidence.
Function-Specific Prompt Libraries
Curated, tested prompt libraries for Finance, Legal, Marketing, HR, Operations and more. Teams reach effective AI use faster — without the months of trial and error most organisations waste.
- 12 business functions covered
- 300+ prompts validated for enterprise use
- Annotated with context and best-practice notes
- Updated as model capabilities evolve
Teams using structured prompt libraries report 3–5× faster time-to-value compared to unstructured AI adoption.
Executive AI Leadership Programme
A structured curriculum for boards and C-suites — covering AI literacy, investment decision-making, risk oversight and competitive positioning. Practical, not theoretical.
- Half-day or full-day format options
- Bespoke to your sector and current maturity
- Decision frameworks your leaders keep and use
- Follow-up coaching sessions available
Delivered to boards and leadership teams at FTSE 250 companies, law firms, and PE-backed businesses — with WEF Global AI Council-level expertise.
