Client Overview

Generation AI is a New Zealand‑based enterprise AI consultancy focused on turning unmanaged experimentation into structured capability. They advance AI adoption through leadership alignment, governance frameworks, and executive education—rather than merely selling technology platforms.

Challenges / Problem Statement

  • Leverage CorIT Tech’s technical and implementation strength to complement Generation AI’s strategy-led services
  • Accelerate client deployment of AI with governance, capability development, and risk mitigation
  • Deliver quantifiable results in governance adoption, time savings, and stakeholder alignment

Implementation

  1. Joint Design of Advisory Framework
    • Generation AI contributed proprietary readiness frameworks, capability training modules, and executive education formats
    • CorIT Tech mapped these into operational delivery protocols and tools to support data governance, platform selection, and integration planning
  2. Pilot Engagements
    • Delivered advisory engagements in sectors such as professional services and education
    • Combined workshops—e.g. AI readiness audits, board education sessions—with hands-on implementation support
  3. Capability‑Building Workshops
    • Co‑hosted AI Business Readiness assessments, use‑case scoping and governance briefings
    • Embedded CorIT Tech staff within advisory sessions to translate strategy into platform-agnostic technical requirements
  4. Deployment Support
    • CorIT Tech led implementation of chosen AI tools, data pipelines, and controls
    • Generated dashboards and success KPIs aligned to agreed client objectives

Results / Outcomes

  • Client organisations achieved quicker operationalisation of AI governance frameworks
  • Average audit-to-implementation timeframe reduced by ~40%, enabling faster ROI capture
  • Leadership alignment improved, with executives reporting greater confidence in AI decision‑making
  • Time savings in administrative and reporting processes aligned with broader New Zealand AI adoption trends (e.g. teams saving multiple hours weekly through GenAI usage)

Generation AI’s frameworks and governance-led advisory approach, paired with CorIT Tech’s execution discipline, enabled clients to transition from pilot-phase experimentation to structured AI execution effectively and ethically.
