Understand where AI will deliver real business value
The AI navigator provides a structured, business first approach to identifying high-value AI opportunities - grounded in how your organisation actually works.
Clear priorities. Realistic next steps
What AI Navigator gives you
The AI Navigator is designed to give you clarity before significant time, money or effort is committed to AI initiatives.
The outcome:
A clear view of where AI could genuinely improve performance
Grounded in how work flows through your business today — not generic use cases.
A prioritised set of AI opportunities
Assessed for impact, feasibility, and readiness, so you know what’s worth pursuing now versus later.
A practical view of readiness and constraints
Including process gaps, data issues, capability limits, and operational risks that affect success.
An AI roadmap with clear recommendations for next steps
What to implement, what to fix first, and what to leave alone for now.
Confidence in your decisions
So any investment in AI is intentional, grounded, and aligned to real business outcomes.

Understand how work actually flows - We start by understanding how work gets done today — across people, processes, and systems — not how it’s supposed to work on paper.
Identify where AI could add value - We look for practical opportunities where AI could reduce effort, improve quality, or remove friction in day-to-day operations.
Assess readiness and constraints - Each opportunity is tested against real-world constraints — data quality, process maturity, capability, risk, and change impact.
Prioritise what’s worth doing - Opportunities are prioritised based on value, feasibility, and timing, so focus stays on what will deliver meaningful results.
Define a clear path forward - The output is a clear AI roadmap outlining recommended next steps — including what to implement, what to fix first, and what to leave for later.
From Insight to Implementation
The AI Navigator is designed to support action — not just analysis.
Once priorities are clear, the focus shifts to turning insight into practical change. The right next step depends on the nature of the opportunity, your internal capability, and the level of support required.
There are three common paths forward:
N16-supported implementation
Where it makes sense, N16 can provide hands-on support to help embed priority AI initiatives — from refining workflows to supporting early implementation and change.
Specialist delivery, led by N16
For more specialised build or integration work, N16 works with a small network of trusted delivery partners. This ensures access to the right expertise while remaining vendor-neutral and focused on what best fits your business.
Internal enablement
In some cases, the best outcome is enabling your team to lead implementation themselves. N16 can support this through guidance, coaching, and check-ins, without taking ownership of delivery.
The approach is chosen based on what will deliver the most value for your business.
Who the AI Navigator is for
The AI Navigator is a good fit for organisations that:
Are curious about AI, but cautious about where to start
Want to improve efficiency, decision-making, or service quality — not just experiment with tools
Have real operational complexity and want to understand it better before investing
Prefer a structured, business-first approach over generic advice
Want clarity and confidence before committing time, money, or attention to AI initiatives
The AI Navigator is likely not the right fit if you:
Are looking for a quick AI tool recommendation or off-the-shelf solution
Want to automate without first understanding underlying processes
Expect immediate implementation without diagnosis or prioritisation
Are primarily interested in technology experimentation rather than business outcomes
Next step
If this sounds relevant, the best place to start is a conversation.
A short discussion is usually enough to determine whether the AI Navigator is the right fit for your business, and what a sensible next step might look like.
