Quick answerGenerative AI consulting is advisory work that turns GenAI interest into a prioritised, feasible plan — discovering and scoring use cases, assessing data and platform readiness, sizing ROI and risk, selecting foundation models, and designing the Responsible AI operating model and roadmap. It is the single home for this work, kept distinct from our broader AI Consulting service so nothing is duplicated.
