## AI Adoption, From Readiness to Business Value

AI Adoption helps organisations prepare for AI, introduce it securely and use it effectively.

Successful adoption depends on several connected areas: business priorities, company information, security, governance and the way people use AI in their day-to-day work. It also requires a clear understanding of the tools already in use and the newer capabilities worth considering.

Grant McGregor brings these areas together. We assess your AI readiness, identify security and data risks, support the adoption of AI tools and explore where agents and automation could add value.

# Secure AI Adoption in Five Steps

Our five-step approach brings together the business, security and technology decisions involved in adopting AI.

## From Readiness to Results

![Our Five-Step Approach-1](https://grantmcgregor.co.uk/hubfs/Our%20Five-Step%20Approach-1.png)

### 1. Discover

**Define your goals and priorities**

We look at what you want AI to achieve, where it could support your teams and any concerns that need to be addressed.

![Our Five-Step Approach-2](https://grantmcgregor.co.uk/hubfs/Our%20Five-Step%20Approach-2.png)

### 2. Diagnose

**Assess your AI readiness**

We review your Microsoft 365 environment, security, data governance and permissions to identify risks and gaps.

![Our Five-Step Approach 3](https://grantmcgregor.co.uk/hubfs/Our%20Five-Step%20Approach%203.png)

### 3. Defend

**Protect your data and maintain control**

We strengthen security and governance to reduce data exposure and support responsible AI use.

![Our Five-Step Approach 4](https://grantmcgregor.co.uk/hubfs/Our%20Five-Step%20Approach%204.png)

### 4. Deploy

**Put AI into practice**

We identify relevant use cases and support deployment, onboarding and training.

### 5. Develop

**Build agents and automation**

We identify where agents, workflows and automation could reduce manual work and improve business processes.

## What Does AI Adoption Include?

Our Secure AI Adoption service brings together the key areas that influence how successfully and securely AI is introduced and used across your organisation.

![AI readiness](https://grantmcgregor.co.uk/hubfs/AI%20readiness.png)

### AI Readiness

Assess your goals, current AI use and Microsoft 365 environment. Identify gaps in security, data, permissions and governance before deciding what to introduce or improve.

![Security and Governance](https://grantmcgregor.co.uk/hubfs/Security%20and%20Governance.png)

### Security & Governance

Review how company information is stored, shared and accessed. Address oversharing, data exposure and unapproved AI use, with suitable controls, policies and guidance.

### AI Adoption

Identify where AI tools could support everyday work. Plan their introduction, define useful applications and provide onboarding and training for your teams.
