What Stops Most Businesses From Using AI—And How Paragus Can Set You Up To Succeed

Most organizations want to take advantage of AI but struggle to separate real value from the hype, identify the right opportunities, and build internal momentum.  

Our 12-month AI Executive Coaching Program is designed to guide you through that transformation, helping you overcome roadblocks and build a realistic, sustainable plan for fully realizing AI’s potential in your business.

Through hands-on coaching, practical strategy work, and guided implementation, we work directly with your leadership team to turn AI from a buzzword into a competitive advantage—one your team can confidently manage long after our engagement ends.

Everything You Need To Launch AI The Right Way

AI doesn’t fail because the technology is complicated. It fails because the organization isn’t prepared.

Our program provides a practical, business-first approach to understanding AI, selecting the right opportunities, and building a system your team can grow—not just a tool you try once.

  • Clarify Your Goals for The Business You Want To Build

    We begin by understanding where your business is headed and how AI can support those goals. No jargon. No assumptions. Just clarity.

  • Identify Your Highest-Value AI Opportunities

    We’ll go department by department to help identify the biggest opportunities for AI to create measurable value.

  • Strengthen Your Internal Readiness

    AI adoption succeeds when you have the right foundation. We not only help to prep your environment, but also your team – coaching your leaders through mindset, change management, risk awareness, and stakeholder alignment.

  • Build Early Workflows & Two Fully Functional AI Pilots

    Within your first six months, our team will help you design and deliver two fully functional AI pilots, built around your highest-impact opportunities. These aren’t demos—they’re real, operational workflows designed to show value and build team confidence.

  • Develop A Step-by-Step Implementation Plan

    You’ll walk away with a customized, realistic roadmap that your team can execute, refine, and scale.

  • Maintain Traction & Accountability Over 12 Months

    We stay with you throughout the year guiding decisions, adjusting strategy, and ensuring momentum doesn’t stall.

What’s Included

1. Executive Kickoff

A 2-hour interactive session with your entire executive team to introduce AI in clear, practical terms. We walk leaders through what AI can realistically do, share tailored examples, review potential risks, and align everyone on what comes next.

2. Readiness & Risk Assessment

We review your current technology environment, data setup, and security posture to understand what’s ready for AI—and what needs attention first. This helps avoid surprises later

3. Strategy & Value Map

We identify 8–12 potential AI use cases across your business and score them based on impact and effort. From there, we select two high-value opportunities to move forward as pilots.

4. Executive 1:1 Coaching

Up to six one-hour virtual coaching sessions with members of your leadership team. These sessions focus on decision-making, adoption challenges, and helping leaders confidently guide AI initiatives.

5. Governance-in-a-Box

We provide ready-to-use policies and frameworks that define how AI should be evaluated, approved, and used across your organization—so everyone knows the rules from day one.

6. Cohort Trainings (2)

Two group training sessions designed for managers and hands-on teams. We focus on practical prompts, real workflows, and how to turn AI into repeatable processes—not one-off experiments.

7. Pilot Launch

We help launch two AI pilots with clear success criteria, measurable outcomes, and a plan for monitoring performance. Each pilot includes guidance on how to adjust or roll back if needed.

8. Adoption & ROI Dashboard

A simple dashboard—built in Power BI or your existing BI tool—that shows progress, adoption, and value at a glance. Leaders can easily see what’s working and where to focus next.

9. Checkpoints & Ongoing Support

Monthly review meetings to assess progress and adjust priorities, plus a dedicated Microsoft Teams channel with a two-business-day response commitment for ongoing questions and support.

MEET YOUR COACHES

Every business in our program is paired with a dedicated Executive AI Coach—a senior leader with years of experience helping organizations adopt new technologies and drive meaningful change.

 

Our coaches are seasoned executives who have built and scaled their own companies. They understand the realities of running a business, leading teams, and implementing technology in the real world.

Why A Year-Long Coaching Partnership Works

Most AI initiatives fail because organizations move too fast—or without a plan. With a dedicated coaching program, you get:

  • A strategy that’s grounded in real business needs

  • Clear, prioritized opportunities—not guesswork

  • Leadership alignment and organization-wide buy-in

  • Hands-on guidance that prevents missteps and wasted investment

  • Faster adoption and higher engagement across your teams

  • Internal capability that grows stronger over time

This is how you build lasting value with AI—not just early excitement.

This program is ideal for organizations that

  • Want to leverage AI but aren’t sure how to begin

  • Are overwhelmed by the amount of hype and conflicting advice

  • Need leadership alignment and a guided approach

  • Want hands-on help identifying real value—not speculation

  • Prefer coaching and capability-building over outsourcing

  • Want fully functioning pilots to jumpstart adoption

What You’ll Walk Away With

  • By the end of your 12-month engagement, your organization will have:

  • A complete AI strategy aligned to your business goals

  • A prioritized opportunity map with clear next steps

  • Early prototypes and workflows shaped to your processes

  • A realistic implementation roadmap your team can execute

  • Leaders who understand AI’s role and how to manage it

  • A stronger, more capable organization ready to scale AI on its own
