Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is AI strategy consulting?
AI strategy consulting helps organizations define where and how to invest in artificial intelligence. It covers use case identification, roadmap development, data and infrastructure assessment, governance design, and execution planning, all tied to specific business outcomes rather than generic technology adoption.
How is AI strategy consulting different from AI implementation services?
Strategy consulting focuses on what to build, why, and in what order. AI implementation services execute the build. Kanerika provides both, which means the strategy we develop is designed for execution, not handed off to a separate team with different assumptions.
How long does an AI strategy engagement typically take?
Initial AI maturity assessments and roadmap engagements typically run two to four weeks, depending on organizational complexity. Kanerika can also run rapid-assessment workshops for leadership teams with tighter timelines.
Do we need to have existing AI infrastructure to work with Kanerika?
No. We work with organizations at every stage of AI maturity, from those just beginning to evaluate AI to those scaling existing programs. Our AI maturity assessment is designed to meet you where you are.
How does Kanerika's Microsoft partnership affect AI strategy engagements?
As a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Data and AI and a Microsoft Fabric Featured Partner, Kanerika has deep knowledge of the Microsoft AI and data stack. For organizations already running on Azure, Power Platform, or Microsoft Fabric, this means our recommendations are grounded in what’s actually available and supported, not theoretically optimal in a vacuum.
What industries does Kanerika serve with AI strategy consulting?
Kanerika serves enterprise clients across BFSI, manufacturing, logistics and supply chain, retail and FMCG, and healthcare. Each engagement is shaped around the specific regulatory environment, data landscape, and competitive dynamics of that sector.
What is an AI Center of Excellence and do we need one?
An AI Center of Excellence (CoE) is an internal team or function responsible for AI governance, reuse, and enablement across the organization. It’s most valuable once an organization has multiple AI projects running or in flight. Kanerika helps design, staff, and operationalize CoEs at various scales.
How does Kanerika approach responsible AI and governance?
Responsible AI governance covers model transparency, data privacy, bias evaluation, and regulatory compliance. Kanerika builds governance structures aligned with Microsoft’s Responsible AI principles for organizations on Azure, as well as broader frameworks including the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.
What should you look for in a consulting partner for AI roadmap creation?
Look for an AI strategy consultancy that grounds the roadmap in AI that already runs in production, covers governance as well as use cases, and can carry the plan into execution. Kanerika’s AI strategy work is grounded in shipped AI products and production AI agents, backed by Microsoft expertise and ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II and CMMI Level 3 certifications.
What does an AI roadmap consulting engagement deliver?
An AI roadmap engagement delivers an AI readiness assessment, a prioritized set of use cases, a sequenced roadmap with ROI targets, an AI governance framework, and a data strategy for AI. Where it fits, we also help set up an AI Center of Excellence so your teams can run the plan after the engagement ends.
How much does AI strategy consulting cost?
Cost depends on scope. The main drivers are how many business units and use cases the strategy covers, how much discovery and data review is needed, and whether the work ends with a roadmap or continues into build support. A focused readiness review costs less than an enterprise-wide strategy with a full roadmap and ROI model. Kanerika sizes an engagement after a scoping call, once the goals and current AI maturity are clear.
What does an AI strategy consultant do?
An AI strategy consultant helps an enterprise decide where AI should be used and in what order. The work covers an AI readiness review, use case prioritization, a roadmap, ROI targets and governance. The output is a plan your teams can execute, with owners, timelines and measures of success for each initiative.
What should an AI roadmap include?
An AI roadmap should list the prioritized use cases, the data and platform work each one needs, the sequence and timeline, the owners, the budget range and the ROI target for each initiative. It should also set governance and risk controls, and define how progress is measured. A roadmap that lacks owners and measures tends to stall after the planning stage.
What is an enterprise AI strategy?
An enterprise AI strategy sets out where AI will create value across the organization, which use cases come first, what data and platforms they need, and how risk is governed. It turns scattered pilots into one plan with owners, budgets, and measures. Kanerika builds it from an AI readiness assessment, ties it to your data strategy, and turns the plan into an AI implementation roadmap that the delivery team can build against through our AI consulting and implementation services.
