One map of where AI belongs. Before anyone builds a thing.
Where is AI running in your business, where could it, and where should it? Most leadership teams can't answer that in one place. The AI Operating Map puts all three on one page, so the whole team decides from the same picture. Self serve, on its own platform, from day one.
Built for CEOs and boards of technology driven businesses who already know spend isn't the constraint, clarity is.

What it actually shows you.
The same three questions the board will eventually ask, answered in one place and kept current.
Where AI is operating now
The tools, pilots and quiet workarounds already running, mapped against the roles, tasks and workflows they touch.
Where AI could operate
The opportunities across the organisation that have not yet been connected, considered or tested.
Where AI should operate
The opportunities leadership chooses to pursue based on purpose, value, ownership, risk and organisational readiness.
Once you can see the organisation, you can reimagine it
Use the shared picture in your AI Operating Map to explore how the organisation could operate differently and architect a practical Target AI Operating Map.

Right now the picture of AI in most businesses is spread across three decks, a vendor proposal, and whatever someone set up quietly last quarter. Nobody is looking at the same thing, so nobody can have the same conversation. The Map fixes that first.
One picture to argue from
The CEO, the board, and the executive team look at the same map, not their own version of it. Disagreement gets useful, because it is about the business, not about whose slide is right.
Everything on the table
Every tool, pilot, and quiet workaround is visible, with a named owner beside it or an honest blank where one should be. The quiet AI stops being quiet.
Decided once, recorded, revisited
Where AI should operate gets decided by the people who carry the consequences, written down, and revisited as things change, not re-litigated in every leadership meeting.
Mapped it and want help with what it found?
The Map gives you the picture. These are the ways we work alongside your leadership team until the next step is clearly owned, tested and ready to proceed.
AI Framing Sprint
Why, who, where and how settled with the whole executive team in the room, with governance, enablement and measurement in place before anything scales.
See the sprint → Eight sessions · GuidedMap Guidance
Work through the Map session by session with us alongside, so the picture gets built properly and the decisions get made as you go.
See Map Guidance → Monthly · OngoingMap Advisory
Keep leadership judgement current as new opportunities and decisions come up. Review the Map, challenge proposals, decide what proceeds, pauses or stops.

Six short notes from real AI Framing Sprint engagements: what showed up on the Map, what surprised the leadership team, and what they did next.
Buying or backing a business?
We use the Map, and Industry Reference Maps, to test whether the AI savings in a deal model are real before the price is set.
Already know what to build next?
Once the Map has shown where AI should operate, some organisations want to go further: reimagine how the organisation could operate and architect a Target AI Operating Map before committing to what gets built.
Built and maintained on its own platform.
The Map lives at aioperatingmap.com, not on techshin.com. This page tells you why it is worth opening. The platform is where the mapping happens, self serve from day one, and where the leadership conversation starts.
