AI LEADERSHIP & TRANSFORMATION
Leading AI, not just adopting it
Businesses everywhere are moving fast on AI. And for good reason. But productivity and efficiency are just the tip of the iceberg.

We are your strategic AI partner
There’s more to AI than Copilot adoption. Tools are adopted team by team. Pilots are running in pockets. And if a strategy exists at all, it’s likely to be found dwelling in IT somewhere.
And numbers don’t lie: 78% of companies have dipped their toe into AI, but just 27% have reached full, enterprise-wide deployment. And whilst 83% of companies say using AI in their business is their top priority, most are not running AI as a coordinated, company-wide strategy.
What’s missing is an agreed executive position on what AI specifically means for your industry, your business model, and your people. Owned collectively by the leadership team, not left to whoever’s closest to the tech.
The problem
Automating repetitive tasks. Recruiting talent. Generating content. Businesses everywhere are moving fast on AI. And for good reason. But productivity and efficiency are just the tip of the iceberg, and only the first level of the AI maturity model.
What’s missing is a serious AI strategy. Led by the leadership, guided by tech and people teams. A coordinated effort that involves challenging assumptions on how your business works today and designing for an AI future. And the longer it’s left unaddressed, the more the business falls behind.
Our approach
We design AI Leadership & Transformation programmes that go beyond the tools and tick-boxes, because real AI strategy needs to be led from the top, and built into how people think and work, not bolted on afterwards.
That’s why we united FOIL and Solvd Together. FOIL are the AI experts – practitioners, not generalists, with a track record of taking clients from strategy to production across FS, infrastructure, health and government. Solvd are the people experts – human-centred design and behavioural science that make transformation stick.
Two rare skill sets, one team. The AI expertise to know what’s possible, and the people expertise to make it happen.
