AI Transformation Consulting
AI transformation consulting is the work of embedding artificial intelligence into a company's core processes and building the capability to run it. Brand Vibe delivers this as a 90-day programme for mid-market companies: audit and prioritise, build into live workflows, then train the team to run it unaided.
- What it is
- A 90-day programme embedding AI into live workflows, plus the capability to run it
- Who it's for
- Companies with AI subscriptions nobody uses, or no idea where to start
- Timeline
- 90 days, four phases
- Starting at
- from ₹2L / $4,000 per phase
- Engagement
- Phased programme with milestone-linked payments
You’ll get the most from this if…
- You're paying for AI subscriptions nobody uses, or you know you should start and don't know where.
- You want to build internal capability, not a permanent dependency on a consultant.
- You have executive sponsorship — someone on the leadership team owns the outcome.
- You'd rather embed AI into a few high-value workflows well than announce a company-wide 'AI strategy'.
This isn’t for you if…
- You want to cut headcount by replacing people with AI. Brand Vibe does not do that work.
- You expect a transformation to complete overnight or without your team's time.
- There is no executive sponsor — without one, adoption stalls the moment the engagement ends.
The deliverables, spelled out.
- 01Process audit across every function, with AI opportunities ranked by return and feasibility
- 02Data readiness assessment — an honest view of what your data can and cannot support
- 03A 12-month adoption roadmap sequenced by return, feasibility and team readiness
- 04Working AI integrated into live workflows, not a sandbox
- 05AI governance framework: approval rules, data handling, and what is off-limits
- 06An internal AI champion programme so the capability outlives the engagement
A defined path, not an open-ended retainer.
- Phase 1
Days 1–20 · Audit
Every function is mapped and its AI opportunities ranked by return and feasibility, alongside an honest data-readiness view. You get a prioritised list, not a hype list.
- Phase 2
Days 21–40 · Prioritise & govern
A 12-month roadmap sequenced by value and readiness, plus a governance framework — approval rules, data handling and clear off-limits — agreed before anything is built.
- Phase 3
Days 41–75 · Build into workflows
The highest-value use cases are built into live workflows, not a sandbox — so the team sees AI working inside the tools they already use every day.
- Phase 4
Days 76–90 · Train & hand over
An internal AI champion programme trains the team until the company runs the capability itself. The dependency ends with the engagement, by design.
Starts at from ₹2L / $4,000 per phase.
Phased programme with milestone-linked payments. Every engagement is fixed in scope and price before it begins — no open-ended retainers billed as discovery.

“It was an absolute pleasure to host you and get your nuggets of wisdom on AI. I really appreciate workshops which dwell on practical application of concepts rather than being completely theoretical and yours was right up there.”
Questions we’re asked.
- What is AI transformation consulting?
- It is the work of embedding AI into a company's core operating processes and building the internal capability to run it. Rather than a strategy document, Brand Vibe delivers a 90-day programme that audits and prioritises use cases, builds the best ones into live workflows, and trains the team to operate them independently.
- Will AI transformation mean cutting jobs?
- No. Brand Vibe's approach is explicitly people-first: AI is embedded to remove low-value work and raise each person's output, and the programme ends with an internal champion team, not a smaller one. If your goal is headcount reduction, this is not the right engagement.
- How long does it take and how is it structured?
- Ninety days, in four phases: audit (days 1–20), prioritise and govern (21–40), build into live workflows (41–75), and train and hand over (76–90). Payments are linked to those milestones, so you fund progress rather than a promise.
- What does it cost?
- The programme is phased with milestone-linked payments, starting from ₹2L / $4,000 per phase; the total depends on the number of functions and use cases in scope. You approve each phase before it begins, so cost tracks the scope you actually choose to pursue.
- We bought AI tools nobody uses. Can you fix that?
- That is the most common starting point. The audit identifies why adoption stalled — usually no process change, no owner and no training — and the build-and-train phases fix the cause, not the symptom. The aim is measurable usage 60–90 days later, not another unused licence.
- What do we need in place before starting?
- An executive sponsor who owns the outcome, and a willingness to give the team some time during the build and training phases. You do not need clean data or existing AI skills — assessing data readiness and building the skills are part of the programme.
