Where AI actually pays off — and how to start
A fixed-price, vendor-neutral workshop for your leadership team: an ROI-ranked view of where AI pays off in your business, a practical plan to introduce it without wasting budget, and an honest build-vs-buy-vs-self-host call — on your own numbers, no hype.
For CEOs, CFOs, owners and the leadership team of SMEs and mid-caps.
What you walk away with
ROI-ranked opportunity map
Every AI bet scored on value, feasibility and time-to-value, with the top 3–5 costed on your own numbers.
An AI readiness scorecard
Where your data, team and governance actually stand across five dimensions — a scored gap list, not a maturity label.
A practical adoption plan
Where to start, what to fix first, build/buy/no-code, who owns it, and how you will measure value.
Build / buy / self-host call
A 3-year TCO and control view per bet — including honest 'just buy the SaaS' answers.
A governance starting point
Who approves a new use case, who watches for bias or drift, and what gets logged — enough to pass an internal review, not a compliance binder.
A funded roadmap
90-day quick wins to 12-month bets, sized for a sign-off, each step routed to its next no-build move.
A measurement plan
The baseline you measure against and the number that proves the bet paid off — set before you spend anything.
A named next step
A scoped build, a smaller pilot, or 'wait six months' — we tell you which, and why.
What we cover
Where AI pays off
Map the opportunities across your value chain and score them by ROI — not a tool wish-list.
How to introduce AI
Crawl-walk-run: one workflow first, avoid pilot purgatory, and the data and ownership decisions that actually matter.
Build, buy or self-host
When owning or self-hosting beats metered SaaS on cost and control — and when it doesn't.
Why most AI pilots stall
Most companies that adopt AI never see it move the P&L. We walk through why, so your rollout does not join them.
Governance and ownership
Who signs off, who watches for drift or bias, and what happens when a model gets it wrong — decided before launch, not after an incident.
Change management, not just tooling
The training, escalation paths and internal champions that decide whether a workflow survives past month three.
Format
1-day — Leadership Briefing
A full day with your leadership team. An ROI opportunity shortlist, a first-pass adoption approach, and an initial build/buy/self-host read.
3-day — ROI & Adoption Intensive
Discovery plus two working days. The full ROI map, a sequenced adoption plan, build/buy/self-host across your top bets, and a funded roadmap.
How the workshop runs
- 1 Pre-work: a short intake on your tools, pains and the relevant P&L lines.
- 2 A quick readiness scorecard — where your data, team and governance stand today.
- 3 The honest landscape — what AI does and doesn't do for a firm like yours, and why most pilots never reach the P&L.
- 4 Opportunity mapping across your value chain, scored by ROI.
- 5 A business case on your own numbers for the top 3–5 bets.
- 6 How to introduce it: sequencing, build/buy, ownership, measurement.
- 7 Build vs buy vs self-host — TCO and control.
- 8 Who owns what: governance, sign-off and what gets logged.
- 9 A funded roadmap, plus a +2-week read-out call to lock the decision.
Why Orange-ITS
Vendor-neutral and candid
We'll tell you to buy the SaaS, or not to build, when that is the right answer.
Credible on ROI
A studio that actually builds — the estimates aren't generic consultant theatre.
In your language
Delivered in IT/EN/DE/FR across Italy and Switzerland, by people you can meet.
No hidden vendor deals
No referral fees or kickbacks from cloud or model vendors — the build/buy call is scored on your cost and control, not our commission.
Named evaluation criteria
Every build-vs-buy call is scored on the same criteria, shown to you — not a recommendation memo you take on faith.
We stay useful after the workshop
You get a working plan either way. If you want us for the next stretch we're available; if not, the roadmap still runs without us.

Frequently asked
Is this a sales pitch?
No. It's a vendor-neutral workshop with real deliverables — and we're willing to tell you not to build.
Do we need clean data first?
No. We use the numbers you bring; the plan tells you what to fix and in what order.
1-day or 3-day?
1-day gives an opportunity shortlist, a first-pass approach and an initial build/buy read; 3-day adds the costed business case across your top bets and a funded roadmap.
Why not just do this ourselves with ChatGPT?
You can get a first pass that way. What a chat window will not give you is a scored build-vs-buy call, a governance starting point, or someone willing to tell you a use case isn't worth building.
How do we know this will not just sit in a drawer?
Most AI initiatives never move past a slide deck — that's true across the industry, not a risk specific to you. This one ends with named owners, a measurement baseline and a +2-week read-out call, not a written report.
Are you paid by any AI vendor?
No. We take no referral fees or partner kickbacks from cloud or model vendors, and the build/buy call is scored the same way regardless of which platform you land on.
What happens after the workshop?
You leave with a roadmap you can run alone. If you want us for the next stretch — the build, or periodic check-ins — that's a separate conversation, not something we assume.
Turn AI pressure into one fundable decision
Book the workshop and leave with an ROI-ranked plan you can fund — no hype, no slideware.
