Start small before making bigger AI investments

Start with a bounded AI adoption pilot before making bigger AI investments.

Our AI Readiness and Governed Adoption Pilot helps a small team learn responsible AI use, apply AI to real work, reinforce practical guardrails, capture useful use cases, and give leadership a clearer view of what should come next.

Many organizations are curious about AI but not ready for a broad rollout, custom automation, or a new platform. The practical question is simpler: where can AI help real work, what guardrails are needed, and what should leadership do next?

The Governed AI Adoption Pilot gives a small team room to learn, practice, and surface useful use cases without turning the first step into a company-wide implementation project.

The pilot helps leadership see possible next steps; it does not guarantee adoption, productivity gains, risk reduction, or implementation outcomes.

Why start with a pilot

A pilot helps your team learn through real work. It gives leadership a structured way to see how people use AI, where confidence is building, where guardrails are needed, and which workflows may be worth deeper review later.

What the pilot helps your team do

The pilot may help participants build practical AI fluency, practice prompting and output review, understand sensitive-data boundaries, identify role-aligned use patterns, and capture use cases from daily work.

It also helps leadership see what kind of support may fit next: more training, a readiness review, a client-owned prompt repository, a governance rhythm, AI Skills Master, workflow redesign, or automation review.

What may be included

A typical pilot may include kickoff and discovery, foundational AI training, safe-use and guardrails education, role-aligned use patterns, office hours, coaching, a governance review memo, leadership best-practices blueprint, Champions Culture Blueprint, use-case summary, and next-phase opportunity themes.

What is not included unless separately scoped

The pilot is not open-ended implementation consulting, custom GPT design, automation engineering, systems integration, agentic workflow design, compliance consulting, cybersecurity review, privacy review, legal review, regulatory advice, or company-wide rollout unless separately scoped.

What to Expect

  1. Discover current goals, concerns, workflows, tool access, and team context.
  2. Train the pilot group on practical responsible AI use.
  3. Apply AI to real work examples.
  4. Reinforce guardrails, human review, and output checking.
  5. Support participants through office hours or coaching.
  6. Capture useful use cases, barriers, and next-step themes.
  7. Give leadership practical recommendations for what should come next.

FAQ

Common Questions

What does the pilot include?

The pilot may include discovery, training, guardrails education, role-aligned use patterns, coaching or office hours, governance notes, use-case capture, and leadership next-step recommendations.

What is not included?

Unless separately scoped, the pilot does not include custom GPT development, automation engineering, systems integration, compliance consulting, cybersecurity review, privacy review, legal review, regulatory advice, or company-wide rollout.

Who is the pilot for?

It is designed for small and mid-sized organizations that want practical AI progress but need a bounded, clearer way to begin with guardrails and human review.

What comes after the pilot?

Follow-on paths may include more training, AI readiness and context work, workflow redesign, AI Champions support, a reusable prompt and knowledge system, AI Skills Master, client-owned adoption systems, or advisory support.

Is AI Skills Master required?

No. Sixth City AI may recommend AI Skills Master when a centralized adoption workspace fits. For lighter pilots, Sixth City AI can help create client-owned prompt repositories, governance docs, Champion Councils, and workflow trackers inside tools the organization already uses.
