Many UK businesses need senior AI guidance but not a full-time, expensive AI executive. A fractional AI officer fills that gap. dgm offers fractional AI officer advisory. (dgm is an independent integration partner; osFoundry is a separate company’s product.)
What it is
A fractional AI officer provides senior, part-time AI leadership and advisory — helping set AI strategy, governance and risk appetite, and steering adoption — without the cost of a full-time hire. It’s advisory: you keep decision-making authority, with experienced advice behind it.
Why fractional, not full-time
Many businesses — especially SMEs and mid-market — need guidance but not a full-time, expensive AI executive. A fractional arrangement gives you experienced advisory at a fraction of the cost, and can flex as needs change. You can always hire full-time later if AI becomes core. (See in-house vs outsourced AI.)
What we do
- Set and review AI strategy (see AI strategy consultancy);
- establish governance and risk appetite — UK GDPR, sector rules, an AI use policy;
- prioritise use cases;
- advise on platform and lock-in decisions; and
- steer responsible adoption.
Senior guidance and accountability support — your leadership keeps the decisions.
Advisory, or advisory plus delivery
The advisory can pair with hands-on implementation if you want both, or stay purely advisory while you implement yourself or elsewhere. The advisory roadmap stands on its own.
