Exedra Advisory

The programme

From guesswork to ground truth.

Three pillars, designed to run in sequence. Each answers a different question — and each stands on its own. Together they take a business from "we think we're using AI" to a clear, costed plan to scale it well.

I — Measure

Pulse

AI Pulse Check

What's really happening, across every level. A quantified baseline in days.

II — Align

Alignment

AI Readiness Workshop

Leadership on the same page about direction, ownership and appetite.

III — Diagnose

Diagnostic

AI Operating Diagnostic

A focused review of the workflows, decisions and controls that matter most, ending in a prioritised action agenda.

I

Measure · AI Pulse Check

Pulse

A short, anonymous survey sent across the whole organisation — executive to administrator. It captures the honest reality of how AI is being used, what's being shared with it, what's been built, and how ready people feel — and turns it into a single number your whole leadership team can rally around.

Roughly 30 questions · 5–7 minutes · every level, every function.

The headline output

Your AI Coherence Score™

A single 0–100 measure of how well your strategy, governance, behaviour, controls and value actually line up — benchmarked against comparable organisations. "Have you done the Pulse Check? What was your score?"

What it uncovers

  • What people use — tools, frequency, access, and what they're used for
  • How they use it — what's being shared, and where data is leaking out
  • What they've built — shadow GPTs, agents and automations no one's tracking
  • The rules — whether policy exists, and whether anyone's read it
  • The payoff — time saved, and whether anyone's measuring value
  • Readiness — confidence, sentiment and where support is needed

You receive

  • Your AI Coherence Score — one number, plus five sub-scores, benchmarked
  • An executive Pulse report and read-out
  • A shadow-AI & data-exposure risk snapshot
  • Usage, sentiment and readiness heatmaps by level and function
  • The three things to act on first
II

Align · AI Readiness Workshop

Alignment

A facilitated working session with leadership. We move past the tools and onto the questions that decide everything: where the business is heading, what it's really worth getting right, who owns it, and how much appetite there is to change.

Half-day facilitated session · executives and senior leaders · informed by the Pulse data.

What we work through

  • Strategic context — what the business wants to be known for, and where AI fits
  • Leadership alignment — one shared view of direction, ownership and risk appetite
  • Organisational readiness — where capability sits, and who this is hardest for
  • Success & investment — what success looks like, and what we'd reinvest freed capacity into

You receive

  • A leadership alignment summary — agreements and the gaps still open
  • A named owner and operating intent for AI
  • An agreed definition of success and investment appetite
  • A go / no-go recommendation on the full Diagnostic
III

Diagnose · AI Operating Diagnostic

Diagnostic

A two-to-three week immersion focused on how AI fits the way the business runs. We review the key workflows, decisions and controls that matter most — then map where AI creates value, where it creates exposure, and what has to be true before scaling.

2–3 week immersion · targeted interviews and workflow walk-throughs · culminating in a prioritised action agenda.

Scope a Diagnostic →

What we examine

  • Strategy & decisions — alignment, accountability and where decisions bottleneck
  • Process & execution — friction, rework, duplication and key-person risk
  • Customer & value — where value is created, and where effort is wasted
  • Quality, governance & risk — controls, oversight and what could go wrong
  • Data & systems — where information lives, and what connects to what
  • Measurement & culture — what's trusted, and whether change sticks

You receive

  • A full operating diagnostic — the good, the bad, the gaps and the risks
  • An AI opportunity map, prioritised by value and readiness
  • A prioritised action agenda with phased sequencing
  • An executive read-out to the leadership team
