Pillar 03Service

Data & AI Delivery.

Hands-on implementation for data governance, policies-as-code, marketplace design, and the agentic AI layer that accelerates how data products get built, governed, and measured.

01 · What it is

Where strategy meets running code.

Two related disciplines, often run together.

  • Implementation. Data governance setup, policies-as-code, governance automation, data product marketplace design. Embedded counsel through the build until the capability is yours.
  • Agentic AI. Agent-augmented delivery across the data product lifecycle. Accelerated build, AI-assisted use case discovery, and value-measurement instrumentation designed in from day one.

The middle layer Big Four firms outsource. This is the work that decides whether the strategy survives the handover.

02 · Who it's for

Programmes already moving that need someone to run the unglamorous middle.

Organisations rolling out data product governance, marketplace, or platform tooling and needing a senior practitioner alongside the platform team. Programmes piloting agentic AI in the data engineering loop and wanting the value-measurement framework set up before the pilot is in production.

Particularly relevant when the team has built the strategy but is not yet seeing it executed, or when AI proof-of-concepts keep stalling at the production line.

03 · How it works

Embedded, time-boxed, ownership-first.

Typical engagement: 8 to 16 weeks of part-time embedded counsel with the delivery team. Two or three working sessions a week, lightweight async between. Build artefacts get shipped with your team's names on them, not mine.

For agentic AI specifically, expect a four to six week pilot that ships a working agent capability plus the measurement layer to evaluate it.

04 · Outcomes you can name

What's different after the engagement.

  • A working data governance practice with policies-as-code and automation embedded
  • A data product marketplace launched, populated, and adopted by at least three business domains
  • An agentic AI pilot in production with measurable value
  • A value-measurement framework that survives past the launch deck
  • Internal team leads coached and equipped to run the practice without me
  • Documentation, runbooks, and decision logs your team owns
