Fractional AI Director

A Fractional AI Director is an experienced specialist who works with your organisation one or two days a week and takes on the role of AI leader: setting the strategy, prioritising projects, managing risks and reporting results to management.

When it makes sense

• you want to use AI but have no in-house expertise;
• you have many ideas and pilots but no clear direction or measurable results;
• you need to meet the requirements of the EU AI Act and don’t know who is responsible;
• a full-time AI director is too big an investment at this stage.

Responsibilities

AI strategy and roadmap

Where AI delivers the most value for your business, in what order to act and with what budget – for the next 12–24 months.

Project prioritisation

Evaluating ideas by value, complexity and risk; choosing the pilots; defining success criteria.

Vendor and technology selection

Independent evaluation of platforms, models and partners; negotiations; avoiding dependence on a single vendor.

Governance and compliance

Policies, an AI register, a risk register, compliance with the EU AI Act and the GDPR.

People and culture

Training, “AI champions” in each department, change management.

Accountability

A quarterly report to the board with the key metrics: time saved, costs, revenue, risks.

How it works

The engagement is usually for at least six months so the strategy has time to deliver results. We work on site and online, take part in management meetings and are available for urgent questions.
