Strategic AI Business Transformation
Improving the bottom line with enterprise-grade AI
Cedus provides the capability to move from AI pilots to strategic AI transformation.
Shaped across 10+ years and 30+ complex organisations, it can be tailored to any business or vendor mix.
We install a lightweight, business-led engine room that sets the target end-state, defines the path to get there, and measures strategic progress - while in parallel, we build individual AI use cases, remove legacy solutions, and prove ROI.
Our dual-focused approach means everything is in place in weeks and at a sensible price point.
Why Most AI Investment Fails
Organisations invest in AI to improve performance, yet many struggle to turn AI ambition into measurable business results. The problem isn’t the technology; it’s how AI is translated into true business transformation.
As organisations look for a strategic AI solution, they find three broken offerings:
-
Large Consultancies - Give heavyweight advice, move slowly and at significant cost
-
Engineering Providers - Deliver technology quickly, but often lack focus on ROI realisation
-
Internal Change Capabilities - Lack the business lens and fall back into traditional IT-led delivery
The result is the same. Ambition is set at the top, but despise considerable investment, there is no impact to the bottom line.
The Unique Cedus Solution
Cedus is the fourth option - We help organisations turn AI ambition & spend into measurable business results and bottom-line ROI - while retaining fast, iterative delivery.
Proven over 10+ years and 30+ enterprise clients, the Cedus approach enables organisations to run strategic AI adoption themselves by tightly connecting strategy, delivery, and ROI:
​
• Central AI Engine Room - A business-led capability that sets direction, defines outcomes, prioritises investment, and governs progress by ROI.
• Use Case Factory - Enterprise-grade AI use cases delivered in fast, iterative slices - each with a clear business case, live deployment, legacy cost removal and proven ROI.
• Measured ROI - Continuous forecasting and tracking of ROI from portfolio level to individual use cases and down to epics within each use case.
The result is true AI business transformation - moving from pilots to sustained, strategic AI delivery.
The Unique Cedus Approach
Cedus has built this capability over more than a decade of working inside complex, large-scale organisations. The approach is practical and hands-on, shaped by how organisations actually operate - not by theory, slideware, or isolated pilots.
Experienced Change Leadership - Cedus engagements are led by senior practitioners who have delivered large-scale, complex change. They bring a business-first mindset which prioritises business outcomes over pure technical activity. They work with stakeholders in a consistent and repeatable way, applying the Cedus method and ROI model to align decisions, steer execution and ensure transformation is treated as an ongoing business discipline.
Predictive ROI Modelling - Cedus proprietary ROI modelling provides portfolio/roadmap transparency across all AI activity, viewed through a single, consistent business lens.
It enables leaders to set strategic direction, define a credible roadmap to a target end state, and govern investment as change unfolds - with realistic forecasting of cost, benefit, ROI and risk.
The modelling also provides early warning when delivery begins to trend off track, enabling intervention while there is still time to course-correct and protect value.
A Business-Led Operating Model for Scaling AI - For many organisations, AI transformation represents the first need for true enterprise-level reinvention in decades - yet most do not have the capabilities required to deliver that kind of change at scale.
The Cedus service operating model is, in effect, the engine room for strategic AI business transformation. It is where Cedus’ experience sits - a proven body of ROI-led templates, methods, tools, processes, ways of working, roles and responsibilities, built from repeated delivery in complex organisations.
Cedus uses this knowledge-base to create a tailored operating blueprint for each organisation, shaped around its specific strategy, structure, constraints, and ambitions. This accelerates the creation of the missing capability, often in a matter of weeks.​
Enterprise-Grade Delivery Without Lock-In - Cedus is deliberately technology-agnostic, taking a best-of-breed approach rather than promoting a single platform or vendor.
We work with existing client teams and trusted partners where needed to assemble robust, enterprise-grade solutions that fit the organisation - not the other way around.
This avoids lock-in, protects optionality, and ensures technology choices serve the business outcome, not the delivery model.
