Eight sessions
to a shared decision.
Flagship offer, diagnostic, and ongoing advisory. All three designed for the executive team, not the project office.
Eight board sessions.
Six months.
A structured engagement designed to take a full executive team from awareness to aligned decision. Each session is a half-day or full-day workshop, held at the board's cadence, in-house or offsite. Content is tailored to the organisation, but the architecture is fixed, because the architecture is what makes the outcome repeatable.
| Format | 8 sessions over 6 months. One session per month, plus a kickoff and closeout. |
|---|---|
| Duration | Each session is half-day (3h) or full-day (6h). Offsite upgrade available on any session. |
| Audience | Full executive team. CEO, COO, CFO, CPO, CMO, and others by CEO mandate. |
| Price bracket | €50K to €80K, depending on board size, offsite component and travel. |
| Outcome | A board that speaks the same language on AI, a shared operating model hypothesis, and a prioritised set of shifts with ownership. |
AI fluency for the board.
What an AI-native organisation actually looks like from the inside. Where your organisation sits on that spectrum. What the board needs to know to make decisions, and what it does not need to know.
The operating model question.
Target operating model in an AI-native posture. Where work moves, where decisions move, where accountability moves. Applied to your organisation, not in the abstract.
The workforce shift.
Capability gap model. Current versus future skills. Role redesign. What to build, what to buy, what to retire. Workshop with an outcome, not a framework.
Data, governance, ethics.
What data you need, what data you do not, and where the ethical boundary has to hold. Performance reviews, hiring decisions, customer interaction. Real cases from your organisation.
Build your first AI business case.
Two-hour sprint. The board splits into teams. Each team picks a real pain point, picks a model, builds a prototype. The output is a candidate business case and a lived experience of the pace of AI work.
How to be irreplaceable.
Personal posture session. Your competition is no longer a person, it is a capability. What does it mean for each executive to lead when the nature of work shifts under them. Exercises in empathy, curiosity, judgement.
Scaling beyond the board.
How the shift propagates through middle management and the teams. Cascade plan. Communication architecture. What the CEO has to own and what must be delegated.
Commit and compound.
Final session. The board commits to three to five shifts, each with an owner, a horizon, and a measurable outcome. M42 leaves a decision document the board can hold itself to.
A six-week diagnostic
before you commit capital.
For organisations that want clarity before they commit to a full engagement, or that need a read on their own posture before an M&A, a capital raise, or a leadership change. Six weeks, two consultants on the ground, one page of output.
| Format | 6 weeks, hybrid on-site and remote. Weekly executive touchpoint. |
|---|---|
| Scope | Six domains assessed: vision, operating model, data, talent, governance, technology posture. |
| Output | One-page executive read, a twelve-slide board deck, and a recommendation. |
| Price bracket | €60K to €90K, fixed price. |
Monthly advisory for
CEO and COO.
A retainer-based engagement for executives who want ongoing decision support through the shift. One day a month of structured sparring plus availability on demand. Designed for the CEO who wants a second opinion before a board meeting, and the COO who needs a sounding board when something has to change.
| Format | One structured day per month, plus asynchronous availability. Minimum six-month engagement. |
|---|---|
| Scope | Board preparation, decision support, executive sparring, CEO/COO alignment. |
| Price bracket | €8K to €12K per month. |
