Orion AI Outcomes
From AI Anxiety to Adopted Outcomes
The Challenge
Most enterprise AI initiatives fail not because of technology limitations, but because of:
- Unclear value and ownership — No executive sponsor, no defined success metrics
- Ungoverned experimentation — Shadow AI creating risk without organizational awareness
- Lack of adoption — Tools built but never integrated into real workflows
The result: stalled pilots, wasted investment, and growing anxiety about falling behind.
The Orion AI Outcomes Approach
OAIO is a five-pillar decision framework that moves organizations from unmanaged AI experimentation to intentional, governed adoption.
| Pillar | Focus | Key Question |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Value & Adoption | Strategic alignment | Where should intelligence be applied first? |
| 2. Data Readiness | Foundation assessment | Is the right data accessible and governed? |
| 3. AI Trust & Governance | Risk boundaries | What can agents do—and what can't they? |
| 4. Experience Design | Human-AI interaction | How will people actually use this daily? |
| 5. FinOps & Economics | Cost control | What does it cost, and is it worth it? |
The OAIO Thesis
AI creates value only when it is adopted into real workflows, under trust and economic control. The only metric that ultimately matters is adoption.
Why Start with Pillar 1?
Pillar 1 is designed as a bounded, low-risk entry point that answers the most critical question before any technology investment:
Where should intelligence be operationalized first—and where should it not?
Pillar 1 Includes:
- Virtual Alignment Sessions — 2-3 hours with executives to establish guardrails
- Superintelligent Survey — AI-powered organizational discovery at scale
- Decision Workshop — Evidence-based prioritization with clear ownership
Why This Is Low Risk:
- Cloud Partner Subsidized — AWS and Microsoft engagement credits reduce cost
- Bounded Scope — Complete in 3 weeks, not months
- No Tool Commitments — Technology decisions come after strategy
- You Own the Outputs — Proceed at your pace with full deliverables
What You Get from Pillar 1
- Prioritized AI Opportunity Register — Ranked use cases with business value scores
- Executive Guardrails Brief — Non-negotiables for AI deployment
- Data Readiness Assessment — Foundation status for top opportunities
- Go/No-Go Decision Framework — Clear criteria for proceeding
- Propagation Plan — Roadmap for subsequent pillars
Next Step
Schedule a one-hour conversation to explore whether Pillar 1 is right for your organization.
We'll discuss:
- Your current AI experimentation (formal and informal)
- Specific pain points and opportunities
- How cloud partner subsidies can reduce your investment
