Many business owners are surrounded by the AI noise that doesn't translate into Monday morning decisions. We diagnose your specific business — and build the plan that actually compounds value.
Every summit, every LinkedIn post, every headline creates urgency without direction. Many SME owners are alert, aware, and still without a credible plan specific to their business.
You know AI is changing how businesses compete. You've attended the events and read the articles. But nobody has told you what to change in your business, in what order, starting now.
AI tools get bought, pilots get run, and productivity claims get made — but the link to commercial outcomes is weak. Without a baseline and a plan, you're spending without compounding.
The governance and control questions around AI are real and growing. Most advisory frameworks omit them entirely. Poorly controlled AI adoption creates risk, not just opportunity.
Ten XGrowth Elevate brings diagnostic rigour and governance discipline to AI adoption in established businesses. You get a clear picture of where you stand — and a structured, sequenced plan to close the gap.
An objective AI Readiness Score and Opportunity Map specific to your business. Not a generic benchmark — a scored assessment across six operational domains that tells you where you stand and where the leverage is.
Control and governance are embedded at every level of the diagnostic. The questions regulators, insurers and acquirers are now asking about AI are addressed — not added as an afterthought.
Prioritised, sequenced, and realistic for a business of your size and complexity. Built on the diagnostic findings. Linked to measurable outcomes — not technology milestones.
No tool sales. No vendor relationships. No consulting jargon dressed up as strategy. Advisory delivered as a commercial equal — with owners who want results, not theory.
Four products, each delivering standalone value. Each creating justified appetite for the next. The entry point is a conversation — the destination is a business that executes better and is positioned for what AI demands next.
A focused 45–60 minute advisor-led conversation using the Elevate Execution Progression Framework™ as a live mirror. The output is verbal: where you currently stand, what that means for your business, and what the diagnostic would reveal. No report. No commitment. The first honest conversation about AI in your business.
A structured one-hour diagnostic session with pre-input sent 48 hours in advance. Output: a one-page AI Maturity Report covering your current maturity level, primary constraint, governance exposure rating, and a directional 90-day recommendation. Precision without overwhelm — and a clear statement of what the full Assessment would uncover.
A half-day advisor-led workshop with structured pre-input. Full written report within five working days. Output: AI Readiness Score (0–100) across six operational domains, governance exposure assessment, prioritised Opportunity Map, and a structured 90-day improvement plan. The evidence base for everything that follows.
Where the Readiness & Opportunity Assessment identifies material improvement potential, a structured advisory programme is proposed — scoped directly from the Opportunity Map and sequenced to the business’s current Execution Level. Monthly engagement covering accountability to the plan, external challenge to prevent the urgent from crowding out the important, and governance frameworks that evolve as AI capability advances. Engagement is structured around measurable outcomes, not advisory hours. Scope and investment are agreed on the basis of what the diagnostic reveals — not before.
Peter Kaye is not an AI enthusiast who learned some frameworks. He is a governance and execution specialist who has spent his career identifying where control fails and building the structures that make it stick.
He currently advises on strategy and governance at the frontier of autonomous AI systems — where AI governance frameworks, legal standards and insurance underwriting are being actively shaped. That proximity to what is coming informs every conversation he has about AI adoption in established businesses. He understands not just where your business is today, but where the standard of care is heading.
His commercial background spans international business development in the security sector — including operations from the UK and Dubai — and advisory roles in businesses from owner-managed scale to £7bn enterprise. The diagnostic approach he brings reflects his experience of both.
Direct answers to the questions that matter — no consultant hedging.
The Strategic AI Conversation is complimentary. No preparation required. No commitment beyond the conversation itself. If it's useful, we go further. If it isn't, you've lost an hour.
