A Pragmatic Path from Ambition to Roadmap

Digital transformation fails when strategy stays abstract. Our AI and IT strategy consulting turns your goals into a costed, sequenced technology roadmap, grounded in your current systems, your team's capacity, and the realities of operating in Africa.

How the engagement runs

Assessment-driven and workshop-based: a focused 2–4 week digital maturity assessment, or a 4–8 week full strategy engagement for enterprise-wide transformation.

  • Discovery workshops with your leadership and delivery teams
  • Stakeholder interviews across business units
  • Gap analysis of systems, data, security and skills
  • AI and automation opportunity mapping
  • Vendor and platform evaluation

What you receive

Every engagement closes with concrete, decision-ready deliverables, not a slide deck that gathers dust.

  • Current state assessment
  • Future state vision aligned to business goals
  • Technology roadmap (12–36 months)
  • Business case with budget and ROI projections
  • Implementation and change management plan

Grounded in proven frameworks

We adapt globally recognized methods to your context instead of forcing a template onto your organization.

  • TOGAF for enterprise architecture
  • ITIL for service management
  • Agile delivery planning
  • Design Thinking for user-centred solutions

Support beyond the strategy

We stay engaged through the decisions the roadmap triggers, so momentum survives the handover.

  • Presentation of findings to boards and leadership
  • RFP development and vendor selection support
  • Change management planning and adoption support
  • Optional delivery through our Microsoft and AI-native practices

  • A range becomes a fixed price after a short scoping call. What moves a price: users and departments, data to migrate, integrations, and how much is configured versus built.
  • Optional annual support and managed governance starts at 18% of the project value per year (minimum $1,800). Changes after go-live are $85 per hour, or a prepaid 20-hour block for $1,600.
  • Prices exclude VAT (16% in Kenya) and withholding tax.

Who this is for

  • Executive teams under pressure to have an AI position, currently being briefed mainly by people selling AI.
  • Organizations with a portfolio of disconnected systems bought to solve immediate problems, now needing to work together.
  • Boards asking for a digital roadmap and receiving a list of projects with costs attached.
  • Institutions where IT spend keeps rising without a clear account of what it is buying.

What a strategy engagement covers

Advisory work that is meant to be acted on. The deliverable is a sequence of decisions with reasoning, not a document that describes the industry back to you.

  • Current-state assessment: systems, spend, capability and where the real constraints sit.
  • A view on where technology can genuinely move your objectives, and where it cannot.
  • AI strategy grounded in your authorization model, data reality and governance obligations rather than in general capability.
  • A prioritized roadmap sequenced by dependency and by what your organization can absorb at once.
  • Business case support for the investments that need internal approval.
  • Governance recommendations: how decisions get made after the engagement ends.

How the engagement runs

  1. 1

    Discovery

    Interviews across the business, not only with IT. The gap between what IT believes is happening and what departments actually do is usually where the interesting findings are.

  2. 2

    Assessment

    Current state documented with evidence, spend, systems, capability and the constraints that will govern what is possible.

  3. 3

    Options and recommendation

    Realistic options with trade-offs, cost and risk, and a recommendation we will defend rather than a neutral menu.

  4. 4

    Roadmap and handover

    A sequenced plan with dependencies, and a presentation to the board or executive where that is what it has to survive.

What you need in place

  • Executive access. A strategy built from interviews with IT alone describes the IT department rather than the organization.
  • Willingness to hear that something is not working, including things that were somebody’s decision.
  • Reasonable visibility of current technology spend, including what sits in departmental budgets.
  • An intention to act. A roadmap nobody is resourced to execute is an expensive document.

Working with Sibasi on strategy

Are you going to recommend your own products?

Where they genuinely fit, and we will say plainly that they are ours. Where something else fits better, including a Microsoft-native option, a third-party product or doing nothing, that is the recommendation. Advisory that always concludes in favour of the adviser’s own catalogue is sales with a longer lead time, and it is worth asking any adviser this question directly.

What does an AI strategy actually contain?

Where AI is worth applying in your specific operations, what your data and authorization model will actually support, what governance has to exist first, and what the sequence is. What it should not contain is a survey of what AI can do in general, which is available free and commits nobody to anything. The useful version is specific enough to be wrong, which means it is specific enough to act on.

How long does it take?

It depends on the size of the estate and how available people are for interviews, which is usually the binding constraint. We scope it against the number of business areas and stakeholders rather than quoting a standard duration, because a single-site organization and a multi-entity group are not the same engagement.

What happens after the roadmap?

Ideally you execute it, with or without us. We would rather leave you able to make the decisions than embedded as a permanent adviser, so the governance recommendations cover how technology decisions get made once we have gone. Where you want delivery support for what follows, that is scoped separately and after the strategy rather than bundled into it.
