About This Template

Why it matters for organisations

Most UK organisations do not have an AI idea shortage — they have a prioritisation problem. Without a structured approach, departmental lobbying wins over commercial logic, pilots multiply, and leadership loses conviction when the portfolio fails to deliver proportionate returns.

This template provides a four-axis scoring framework: value (commercial impact, strategic importance), feasibility (data readiness, technical complexity, change requirement), risk (regulatory exposure, reputational risk, security) and strategic fit (alignment with growth plan, existing capability leverage). Scores feed a weighted ranking and a two-by-two quadrant view that separates quick wins from long-term strategic bets.

The package includes a PowerPoint workshop deck to run the prioritisation session with leadership, an Excel tool to score and rank up to 30 use cases, and a 12-page PDF explaining how to facilitate the process, run tie-breaks and translate the output into a sequenced 12-month roadmap. A worked example based on a UK professional services firm shows how the framework behaves with realistic candidate use cases.
