Enterprise AI Transformation Skills

Sixteen installable skills that help executives, operators, and consultants run enterprise AI transformation — from "where do we start?" to "is our agent governed correctly?" — distilled from 21 flagship research sources (Stanford, MIT, McKinsey, BCG, Deloitte, PwC, Accenture, NIST, EU AI Act, IMDA, WEF) published 2024–2026.

TL;DR. 95% of enterprise GenAI pilots return zero P&L impact. The 5% that win don't have better models — they operate differently across people, process, technology, and a layer of general strategy/diagnostics. This skill library encodes those operating patterns. Each skill is a structured prompt the AI runs for you; you ask the question, the skill produces a board-ready output.


The four buckets (30 seconds)

Skills are grouped by what they fix. Pick the bucket that matches your problem; pick the skill inside it that matches the question.

Prefix What it covers Use when…
general- Cross-cutting strategy, selection, diagnosis You don't yet know which layer is broken
people- Leadership, workforce, frontline change Tech works, value isn't landing
process- Pilot design, productionization, observability You have a candidate / a prototype / a portfolio
tech- Stack, sourcing, data deployment, agent guardrails You're choosing a vendor, a tier, a model, or governing an agent

The default order is general → process → tech → people, but most real engagements jump around. The "Which skill when?" decision tree below does the picking for you.


Which skill when? — Decision tree

Start here. Read top to bottom; stop at the first row that matches.

Your situation Skill to invoke Bucket
"We don't know where to point AI first." general-use-case-discovery general
"We have an idea — should we pursue it?" general-idea-diagnostic general
"Where are we on the AI maturity curve, and what's next?" general-maturity-assessment general
"Has anyone else done this before?" general-peer-cases general
"Should we approve this AI investment / fund this program?" general-roi-gate general
"How should we structure the 90-day pilot?" process-pilot-design process
"Demo works — how do we move it to production?" process-productionization process
"We've shipped 10 agents — what's the net ROI?" process-portfolio-observability process
"Diagnose our AI tech stack — where's the weakest link?" tech-stack-diagnostic tech
"Should we build, buy, or partner for this AI capability?" tech-buy-vs-build tech
"Where can this data legally run? ChatGPT? Enterprise SaaS? VPC?" tech-data-deployment tech
"We're about to launch an AI agent — is it safely governed?" tech-agent-guardrail tech
"Why isn't our AI investment moving the needle? (people gaps)" people-readiness-conversation people
"We need an AI literacy / EU AI Act Art. 4 training program." people-literacy-curriculum people
"Frontline experts (clinicians, lawyers, agents) are blocking the pilot." people-frontline-engagement people
"Which AI tool should I teach / roll out to this specific group?" people-tool-selection people

If your question hits multiple rows, run the higher one first — it sets context for the rest.

Pick the question from the decision tree closest to your real situation, then ask the AI in plain English. Examples:

  • "Should we pursue an AI agent that auto-approves expense reports under S$200?" → triggers general-idea-diagnostic
  • "Where should we point AI first across our claims operation?" → triggers general-use-case-discovery
  • "Design a 90-day pilot for an RM call-prep summarizer at our private bank." → triggers process-pilot-design
  • "We deployed 11 agents but can't see what they're earning. Help." → triggers process-portfolio-observability
  • "Our senior lawyers are openly hostile to the contract-review AI. What now?" → triggers people-frontline-engagement

Each skill walks the AI through 4–7 structured roles and produces a verdict (Fund / Reframe / Kill, Greenlight / Stage / Park, Approved / Conditional / Blocked, etc.). The output is meant to be sponsor-ready.


A typical executive flow

For a leader running an end-to-end AI transformation, this is the canonical sequence. You can branch off at any point — the buckets are designed to be invoked individually too.

┌─ general-maturity-assessment ─── where are we today?
│
├─ general-use-case-discovery ──── what should we pilot first?
│      │
│      └─ general-idea-diagnostic ─ is THIS specific idea worth doing?
│             │
│             └─ tech-data-deployment ─ where can the data legally run?
│                    │
│                    └─ process-pilot-design ─ design the 90-day pilot
│                           │
│                           └─ general-roi-gate ─ approve / fund / reject
│                                  │
│                                  └─ tech-buy-vs-build ─ buy or build?
│                                         │
│                                         └─ process-productionization ─ ship to prod
│                                                │
│                                                └─ tech-agent-guardrail ─ govern at runtime
│                                                       │
│                                                       └─ process-portfolio-observability ─ track net ROI
│
├─ people-readiness-conversation ── (run quarterly — surfaces gaps the tech can't fix)
├─ people-literacy-curriculum ───── (close the literacy gap, satisfy EU AI Act Art. 4)
├─ people-frontline-engagement ──── (when fearful experts are blocking rollout)
├─ people-tool-selection ────────── (choosing which AI tool to put in front of a group)
│
├─ general-peer-cases ──────────── (pull at any decision point: "what have others done?")
└─ tech-stack-diagnostic ───────── (run before any major scaling decision)

Cross-skill cautions

These skills were tested together. A few real interactions worth knowing about:

  • Customer-facing pilots. general-use-case-discovery will surface customer-pain pools (NPS, conversion drop). process-pilot-design will downrate any first pilot with customer-facing blast radius. The discovery skill now defaults customer-facing candidates to Stage-and-watch unless the sponsor explicitly accepts the risk in the brief. Trust the pilot-design skill on first-pilot scope.
  • Three different "70/20/10"s. Different sources use the same digits for different things. Each skill is now explicit about which one applies:
    • general-use-case-discovery / general-peer-casesBCG 10/20/70 effort split (10% algorithm / 20% tech / 70% people-process)
    • process-portfolio-observability70/20/10 portfolio mix (70% core / 20% adjacent / 10% transformational)
    • people-literacy-curriculum70-20-10 training-budget split (70% sandbox / 20% delivery / 10% content)
  • "BCG 88/25" can mean two things. people-readiness-conversation and people-literacy-curriculum use it for manager role-modeling. tech-data-deployment uses the same digits for broad-use-vs-value gap. Both anchors are real; the skills now flag which one they mean.
  • Verdict vocabularies differ across gating skills by design — concept-stage (general-idea-diagnostic → Fund / Reframe / Kill), portfolio-selection (general-use-case-discovery → Greenlight / Stage / Park / Reject), funding-approval (general-roi-gate → Approve / Conditional / Return / Reject). They sit at different points in the lifecycle. Don't run all three on the same question.
  • CEO public commitment vs. no-headcount-cut clause. people-readiness-conversation recommends a CEO-owned measurable productivity number. people-frontline-engagement requires a no-headcount-cut clause for pilot duration. These reconcile — public commitment is on outcome, the clause is on pilot-window — but the CEO must say so explicitly to the frontline.

Who is this for

  • Investors evaluating AI-first companies and AI initiative funding proposals
  • Operators running AI transformation programs, CoEs, or portfolio pilots
  • Founders assessing build vs. buy, structuring AI product strategy
  • Boards and executives needing structured frameworks for AI governance and investment decisions
  • Consultants and advisors delivering enterprise AI strategy engagements

Skills produce board-ready outputs. No coding required to use them.


How to extend

Three forks:

  1. Add references — drop an extract into references/, follow the file shape in references/_index.md, update _index.md. Skill descriptions reference files by filename, not path.
  2. Add cases — drop a diagnosed case into the relevant skills/<bucket>-<skill>/cases/. The skill will pull the closest analog automatically.
  3. Fork a skill — copy any SKILL.md, rename it, adjust the role instructions and reference pointers for your sector, internal processes, or role-specific context.

See CONTRIBUTING.md for the full contribution shape.
