We embed with your leaders and front line teams. We walk the work end to end, map how processes really run, and listen to the people who do the work every day. We look at where time, money, and effort are lost, and at the data and systems your teams already rely on. This is not a survey. It is a diagnostic.
AI Services / Execute / Common front door
Where specifically, in your processes, with your people and your data, does AI create measurable value? We answer that before you buy a platform or start a pilot.
01 / Close to the work
The AI Value Assessment is the common front door for every IBS engagement. It is a rigorous, process-level analysis, not a maturity model or a vendor's free assessment. We map your processes, people, and data to specific AI opportunities with real dollar values and EBITDA impact attached.
02 / The three week process
The three week process
A diagnostic built around the people who do the work.
Every friction point gets documented. Every AI opportunity gets mapped to the process it improves. Each one gets a dollar value, not a vague high, medium, low rating, but actual cost savings, value creation, EBITDA impact, and implementation complexity.
- Current state process maps built with the people who run them
- Opportunities ranked by EBITDA impact, effort, and readiness
- Workforce readiness and training needs identified up front
You receive a prioritized roadmap that tells you what to do first, what it costs, what it is worth, what to skip, and how to bring your people along. It is a phased approach that builds capability and proves value at each stage.
03 / People and process
Assessment workbench
Depth without vendor bias.
Our proprietary Assessment Workbench is the engine behind the analysis. It captures process maps, data maturity scores, workforce readiness, and opportunity models tied to financial impact. It is not a product we sell. It is how we deliver consistent, comprehensive assessment work at a depth that would take a traditional consulting team months.
Built on patterns from real manufacturing environments, not generic IT frameworks.
Fit check
Is this right for you?
- You are a manufacturer between $50M and $500M in revenue
- You want AI to improve how work gets done, not just add another tool
- You have been pitched AI solutions but are not sure where to start
- You have had a pilot fail or stall and need to reset
- You are under pressure to reduce cost, improve quality, or grow EBITDA
- You want an objective answer before committing to a platform
What follows
A roadmap that can lead to action, with your team in the room.
The roadmap can point toward predictive maintenance, production intelligence, legacy modernization, or vendor strategy. Some clients take it to internal teams. Most keep us involved, because the team that diagnosed the problem is usually the best team to help solve it. Training is part of making the change stick.
