What we do

Strategy development

Most AI projects fail because there’s no overarching AI strategy, aligned to corporate strategy. Good AI strategy requires deep commercial and industry knowledge, plus understanding AI.
Proof of value

We help you define success criteria for AI adoption and help you build use cases based on your organisation, goals and data platforms.
Custom training

We help leaders and teams understand and use AI. Our training builds mindset, knowledge and skills needed in an AI-driven world.
Deployment advice

We help you deploy any model anywhere. Multiple options are available from managed deployment (including hyperscalers), to self-deployment and edge.
Governance & risk

We can define how an organisation manages risk and governs the responsible use of AI. This sets clear standards for ethics, privacy, accountability, risk and compliance.

Our typical consulting approach

1. Assess current state

Understand the business context, goals, risk appetite, market dynamics, business processes, data environment, existing systems and infrastructure, your tech readiness, capability and gap analysis, your innovation and AI vision etc.
2. Data

Assess relevant available data. Zainode specialises in gathering relevant data sources then being able to clean, structure and optimise data for the AI models.
3. ID opps

Identify opportunities to use AI. Possibilities and probabilities for AI use cases aligned to strategy and competitive advantage. Translate commercial objectives into problems that tech may solve.
4. Design framework

Establish policies, governance, and ethical standards to guide responsible AI adoption.
5. Design architecture

Define the tech, infra and tools needed to support scalable AI initiatives. Choose the algorithms and methods that fit the specific tasks.
6. Develop roadmap

Create clear, phased plan, outlining quick wins and long-term investments to deliver measurable results.
7. Change management

Our team includes world leading HCI and registered CM practitioners to give our clients the best chance of successful AI implementation.

Where should we start our AI journey? What should we use AI to do?

Our view is to look at business processes which is highly used, human bound and resource intense. It might be revenue and/or cost related. It’s tempting to start with an internal chatbot, but too often they don’t make enough difference.

HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION

Good change mgmt & HCI are critical success factors

Our work is underpinned by HCI and change management expertise. We’ve seen many AI projects fail because humans find workarounds and don’t like change, and poorly developed or threatening tech frustrates humans. Led by a world renowned HCI and change expert, Zai Node’s team prioritises HCI and how people could be impacted by AI.
