Probleem die we oplossen

Most Dutch SMEs don't need "more AI". They need less admin, fewer handovers, and a safer way to adopt AI.

Does this sound familiar?

"I feel the pain and need to change something." You know things have to shift but you don't know where to start.
"I want to save time, ideally up to one FTE, through smart automation." Manual processes cost too much, but you don't want to invest blindly.
"I want to grow without hiring more people every time." AI should bring scalability, not more complexity.
"Let me safely poke around and experience what AI can deliver." You want to see it working in your context first.
"Integrate smoothly with my current SaaS, not a long IT project." No months of waiting, just fast value.

Wat het resultaat je oplevert

Clarity and sound judgment on your priorities.
Mentorship during a period of rapid AI adoption.
An owner for safe ways of working with AI: roles, access, and controls.
The confidence to say no to hype because you have a framework.

Ons aanbod en welke dienst we leveren

This is a fractional advisory and mentorship engagement. You get Vincent as a strategic sounding board and decision partner, and you can add Vincent to your advisory board so AI earns a real seat at the table.

Deliverables:

Board-level AI guidance, in plain language
Mentorship for the CEO and leadership team
Use-case prioritisation and sequencing
Guardrails so teams can safely work with AI

Cadence and access:

1 monthly advisory board session (60-90 minutes)
Async Q&A between sessions
A short decision document after each session

Typical session agenda:

Your top 3 priorities for the next 30 days
Sequencing for your next 1-3 workflows
Risk and data review, including EU AI Act readiness

Expected deliverables across the engagement:

Use-case scorecard and priority list
90-day roadmap plus 12-month direction
Governance starter kit: roles, access, approval rules, and tool policy
KPI definitions: hours saved, error rate, throughput time, adoption rate

Boundaries: This is advice and mentorship. Implementation is a separate engagement via the Agentic Growth Sprint or an integration project.

About Vincent: Vincent is a computer and data scientist and founder of The Agentic Group. In his own companies he documented processes and built AI agents, achieving 70% automation across core workflows.

Comparison: advisory-first vs. full-time hire vs. project consultant

Model	Best for	What you get	Trade-off
Advisory-first Fractional CAIO	You need judgement and governance now	Board sessions, mentorship, decision docs	You still need a delivery team
Full-time CAIO hire	You want long-term internal ownership	Deep internal leadership	Hiring risk and slow start
Project consultant	You need a one-off plan	Strategy document	Ownership drops after delivery

Conclusion: advisory-first is ideal if you want to make better decisions now and add delivery later.

Hoe kan je ons vergelijken?

Hoe we werken

1. Onboarding

Alignment on goals, constraints, and success indicators for the next 90 days.

2. Inventory and score

We map processes and tools and score use cases on effort, return, and risk.

3. Decide and secure

We lock in the roadmap sequence and set guardrails your team can follow.

Optional next step: If you want implementation, we continue into the Agentic Growth Sprint or AI Strategy & Roadmap.

Veelgestelde vragen

What do you need from us to start?

An executive sponsor and a high-level overview of your main tools and processes.

What happens after 90 days?

Three options: continue as advisory board member, add implementation oversight via an AI pilot project, or hand over to an internal hire.

Can this transition into a full-time hire?

Yes, the advisory engagement is designed so that after 6 to 12 months you can assess whether an internal CAIO is needed; we support that transition if you want.

What does a Fractional Chief AI Officer cost?

Investment depends on cadence (sessions per month) and scope (advisory only or including implementation oversight); we share an indication in the discovery call.
