Our artificial intelligence consulting services

Organizations cannot afford to take a break from the constant evolution of AI. To keep up with its rapid advancements, it is crucial to have a flexible and adaptable AI strategy that can be continuously refined. Whether you seek to use AI to innovate business models or optimize operations, we offer four imperatives for action, moving from envision to exploration to engineering and expansion. We partner with you to accelerate your AI transformation and strategy through the following services:

Envision: Set AI strategy

AI advisory services

As AI's power and reach accelerate from automation to creation, we provide up-to-date best practices and designs for developing guardrails, policies, and governance, as well as AI Operating (AIOps) models. We offer design templates for AI Centers of Excellence, and help you envision, plan for, and accelerate your responsible AI journey with our portfolio of advisory and business consulting services.

AI strategy and roadmap

Our experienced consulting teams use CGI's Responsible Use of AI methodology and consulting framework to assist you in clarifying your goals and principles, identifying potential risks and solutions, and establishing the necessary technical, operational, and governance foundations. We evaluate your current strategies, architectures, and operations, and provide recommendations within 6-12 weeks, concentrating on specific AI use cases to ensure a rapid return on investment.

AI maturity assessment

Our Maturity Assessment is a comprehensive tool that evaluates your organization's current state across the value chain, exploring data management, guardrails and ethics, and technology platforms. With over 150 detailed capability statements, it provides an accurate baseline of where the organization stands and serves as a holistic starting point to build an AI-powered organization. Our platform manages the design, distribution, collection and analysis of the assessment and provides access to explore the findings in interactive tools.

Explore: Evaluate ROI-led use cases 

AI quick-look opportunity assessment

We will conduct a quick but thorough examination of your business processes and data landscape, with a focus on identifying opportunities for decision-making automation and content creation. Our collaborative approach includes a day-long, art-of-the-possible workshop to assess your AI and analytics capabilities, technology stack, and governance policies. Using CGI's technology-agnostic AI reference architecture, we will provide you with a prioritized list of AI opportunities based on their potential value, level of effort, and risk.

AI discovery and design sprint

During this sprint, we conduct a 1-3 week design workshop, facilitated by a team of experts from across our AI, business, process, and industry domains. The main objective of this workshop is to explore potential AI use cases. We will be using CGI's Value in Motion framework to evaluate your AI value chain. This evaluation will cover stakeholder alignment and AI vision, AI algorithms and models, training and execution data, and a proposal for a proof of value and minimum viable product (MVP). We will also consider other factors that are relevant to your specific case.

AI validation and value sprint

Once a promising new AI use case has been evaluated, this 4-6-week agile sprint develops an initial build or minimum viable product (MVP) solution. The approach includes storyboarding, decision design, data evaluation and prep, rapid prototyping an AI risk assessment and trusted automation/action design among other steps in the process.

 

Engineer: Build future-fit AI solutions

AI engineering and production

Once we have achieved a successful POV or MVP, we employ our reliable agile development techniques to assist you in quickly constructing and expanding your AI solution in 8-16 weeks. With the help of CGI and/or partner platforms, accelerators, and a team of skilled, cross-industry professionals, your company can readily transition from MVPs to enterprise-scale production.
