AI Strategy & Practical Roadmap
Build a practical roadmap to integrate AI deeply, rapidly, and securely into your organization.
Our AI Roadmap Process
Our team applies their intelligence, experience, and a proven framework to produce a clear step by step, custom, roadmap. Implementing AI in your organization, starts with the highest value, lowest effort opportunities, and yes, we also get some help from AI.
Stakeholder Interviews
We engage with key stakeholders to understand your business, team, and operational processes, setting the stage for AI integration.
Systems Inventory
We catalog your current systems and applications, focusing on their existing connectivity and integration capabilities, to understand the technological landscape of your business.
Department Interviews
By talking to different departments, we uncover pain points and areas for AI application, understanding how your employees allocate their time.
AI Readiness Research
We valuate each system in detail, assessing the quality of applications, platforms, and vendors, to determine how ready they are for AI integration.
Strategic Workflow Mapping
Leveraging a proprietary algorithm, we create a prioritized list of workflows. Collaborating closely with you, we refine this plan for the subsequent contextual inquiries, ensuring they are targeted and effective.
Contextual Inquiries
We conduct in-depth sessions to analyze employee and customer interactions, along with the systems in use, laying the groundwork for targeted AI solutions.

ANDREW BARTLETT Director of Software and Technology at Comfort Monster Heating & AirAtlantic BT was absolutely transformational in our technology planning. We were having a hard time putting together a cohesive roadmap, but the team at ABT was able to help identify clear, practical opportunities for AI to change the future of our business (and how we were looking at it).
Valuable Insights Along The Way
Alongside our comprehensive service offerings, you will receive a series of valuable artifacts that not only contribute to the final Practical AI Roadmap but also offer significant insights throughout the process. Each of these outputs is designed to provide you with deepened understanding and actionable insights, ensuring that the journey towards AI integration is as enlightening as it is result-oriented.
Business Model Canvas
The business model canvas helps us identify growth opportunities, pinpoint challenges, and align the project to our clients’ business needs. Our experts take those insights and transform them into an actionable strategy for the design and development of our clients’ software or website. With the Business Model Canvas, Atlantic Bt provides a dynamic framework that not only clarifies business strategy but also serves as a robust foundation for sustainable growth and success.
System Inventory
We catalog your applications and tools to identify which are more AI-capable.
User Personas
UX Personas are based on data from user interviews and surveys, and help designers and developers plan for a range of user needs and preferences. They are also used to understand user behavior and develop empathy for their target audience. By understanding who the user is, what their motivations are, and what their goals are, developers can tailor their design and UI decisions to best meet their user’s needs.
Prioritized Workflow Plan
Comparing the business value with the systems AI readiness for specific workflows, we determine a strategy for contextual inquiries.
Business Process Map
Business Process Mapping is a tool used to visualize, analyze, and improve the efficiency of various processes within an organization. It involves the documentation of each step in a particular business process, capturing the inputs, outputs, tasks, decisions, and interactions involved. The mapping process aims to provide a clear and comprehensive representation of how a process functions, highlighting potential bottlenecks, redundancies, and areas for optimization.
Your Practical AI Roadmap
The Practical AI Roadmap is your personalized guide to embracing the future with AI. Crafted from our deep dive into your business’s unique landscape, this roadmap is more than a strategic document; it’s a vision for transformation. It outlines a journey over the coming years, weaving AI into the fabric of your operations to unlock new efficiencies, smarter decision-making, and boundless innovation. Imagine a future where technology and human ingenuity align perfectly – that’s the destination we’re charting, together.
Harvard Business ReviewAI Won’t replace humans – but humans with AI will replace humans without AI.
What We Believe
It’s important to agree on what AI should do (and shouldn’t).
We believe the purpose of AI is not to replace humans, and certainly not to threaten humanity. In the modern organization, AI should be used to reduce boring, unenjoyable workloads to unlock human potential and creativity. AI should be governed by humans and critical outputs monitored to ensure accuracy and ethics, especially for critical or customer facing workloads.
In our vision of AI, your people will be happier, you will outperform your market, and your bottom line will grow.
Unlocking Potential
Save millions of inefficiency gains.
