The prerequisite

One prerequisite. Three ways to arrive.

Microsoft hosted · AI Innovation Hub. You explored the art of the possible and left with priority use cases.

ArchitectNow hosted · AI Strategy Day. You scored the backlog and left with a ranked shortlist and owners.

Customer led · Internal Exercise. Your own team already prioritized your key AI use cases.

Whichever path you took, the prerequisite is the same: your high-priority AI use cases are identified and you are ready to plan your next steps. Think of this as “Day Two” of your AI journey, the second step, where strategy becomes detailed action. It happens when you’re ready.
