AI Launchpad
The fastest way to turn AI hype into results.
AI isn’t just a buzzword anymore — it’s a competitive advantage. But most engineering and product teams struggle to move past scattered experiments and into scalable results. That’s where SPK’s AI Launchpad comes in. We provide a clear, actionable roadmap to harness AI for faster innovation, lower costs, better compliance, and smarter decisions — without the trial and error.
Why Companies Struggle with AI Today
-
No clear AI strategy — Too many tools, not enough direction
-
Siloed experiments — Small pilots fail to scale organization-wide
-
Unclear ROI — Leadership struggles to see business value
-
Lack of expertise — Teams don’t know where to start or how to prioritize
-
Inconsistent processes — No maturity model to measure progress
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and that’s exactly what AI Launchpad solves.
Our Approach to Artificial Intelligence & Product
At SPK and Associates, our approach to AI and product engineering begins with understanding where your organization stands today — from data readiness and infrastructure to business use cases, skills, and governance. We benchmark your capabilities against a proven AI maturity model to identify your current position and uncover opportunities for growth. Through a detailed gap analysis, we highlight what’s missing — whether it’s clean data, integrated systems, or specialized expertise. From there, we build a clear 12–36 month roadmap focused on achieving quick wins while laying the foundation for long-term scalability. This plan includes prioritized use cases, resource planning, and measurable KPIs to ensure alignment with business objectives. When appropriate, we also design and launch pilot projects to demonstrate real-world AI value quickly, accelerating adoption and ROI.
What’s Included in the AI Launchpad
You’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and a practical action plan — not just tech jargon. These are the AI Launchpad deliverables.
Assess What AI You Already Have
We start by reviewing the tools and platforms you already use to see if you’re taking advantage of their built-in AI features. Many companies already have AI capabilities included in the software they pay for—we’ll make sure you’re not missing out. We also pinpoint instances where your team is using AI, possibly without your awareness.
Review Your Data and Determine Risk
Next, we analyze where your data lives and how it’s organized. We’ll see if your existing tools can connect to that data and identify any gaps that may be holding you back. We will assess risks that could create security issues or threaten compliance.
Map Out AI Opportunities
Finally, we review your most important workflows and activities to see where AI can help. We’ll explore opportunities to create AI agents or automations that streamline tasks across your tools, saving time and reducing manual work.
Deliverable: A clear report on where data resides today, how you’re using AI today and where you could get more value without spending extra.
