PoC-free approach to Generative AI

As you move forward on your Generative AI journey foundations need to be laid to enable sustainable scale. POC’s/MVP’s are great for generating excitement and inspiring customers to think ‘big’ But without consulting on the bigger picture, POV’s will not scale into production, and teams will struggle to operationalise.

Our approach Is to use ideation and discovery stages to create a roadmap that covers foundations, uplift and build. An iterative approach may be taken to accelerate use case delivery whilst addressing the other layers.

Step 1: Inspire - Building executive awareness and excitement for the future of Generative AI. A half-day workshop for executive stakeholders to gain a theoretical, technical and practical understanding on how to apply Gen AI effectively, safely and efficiently in their enterprise. This promotes:

• Awearness
• Education
• Excitement

Approximate timeline with Mantel Group 2-3 hours

Step 2: Lab - Find and prove the right problem to solve, with help of a truly multi-disciplinary team, delivered in under four weeks.

• Comprehensive AI Assessment
• Backlog of AI use cases (roadmap)
• Business case to support investment
• Prototype for most promising use case

Can include

• Design / UX
• Business process map
• Internal AI enablement
• Executive and Board level education

Approximate timeline with Mantel Group 3-4 weeks

Step 3: Pilot - Deliver a product to end users and generate value:

• Deployment of API-based (e.g. via Bedrock) or open-sourced LLM on AWS
• Develop pilot-ready solution
• Model / prompt selection
• Lightweight UI/UX
• QA testing
• Alpha testing with user groups
• Responsible AI assessment

Can include

• Cybersecurity assessment
• Business process redesign
• Technical team training
• Cost analysis and optimisation

Approximate timeline with Mantel Group 8 weeks

Step 4 - Launch- Scale a high quality, secure and responsible solution:

• Production-grade build
• Security built-in
• Ethical and responsible AI guardrails
• Handover documentation for BAU activities
• Comprehensive platform to maintain solution

Can include

• Continuous audit logging and governance system
• Digital product insights and dashboarding
