Find out where your business could work better

The Opportunity Audit shows you where AI and modern technology could make the biggest difference to your business, and what to do first.

For owners who know things could be better

You suspect AI could help. You’re not sure where, or whether it’s worth the investment.

The audit replaces guesswork with a clear picture. We look at your business as it really is, find the opportunities worth having, and tell you honestly which ones aren’t.

How it works

The audit covers the first two stops of the Forwardwise method: Understand and Identify.

UnderstandIdentifyImplementEmpowerImproveStart here
  1. A conversation about your business

    What you do, how you do it, what’s working and what isn’t. No preparation needed.

  2. A closer look at how work flows

    We look at the everyday processes, tools and handovers, and talk to the people who do the work where that helps.

  3. Finding and weighing the opportunities

    Where AI, automation or simply a better process could help, and how much difference each change would make.

  4. Your recommendations, walked through

    A clear written report, talked through together, so you leave knowing exactly what to do next.

What you’ll walk away with

A clear Forwardwise recommendations report, written for you and not for technologists. By the end you’ll understand:

  • What could be improved in how your business runs
  • Why each improvement matters to the business
  • Where AI and modern technology could genuinely help, and where they wouldn’t
  • Which opportunities matter most, in order
  • What to do next, whoever does it
Illustrative example. Every report is written for the business it’s about.

After the audit, it’s your call

The recommendations are yours to use however you like.

  • Do it yourself

    Some changes are simple enough for your team to make with the report in hand.

  • Work with us

    Continue with a Forwardwise Partnership and we’ll help put the improvements in place.

  • Take your time

    Not ready yet? The priorities will still be useful when you are.

Questions owners ask

Does the audit include implementation?

No. The audit is about clarity: understanding what could improve and what to do first. If you’d like help putting the changes in place, that’s what the Partnership is for. You’re under no obligation to continue with us.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the size and shape of your business. We’ll talk it through on the discovery call and agree the cost before anything starts. No surprises.

Do we need to know anything about AI?

Not at all. You need to know your business. Understanding where technology fits is our job.

Will it disrupt the business?

We work around you. Most of what we need comes from conversations and looking at how things are done today.

What happens to the information we share?

We only ask for what we need, keep it confidential and use it solely to prepare your recommendations.

Start with a conversation about your business

Tell us how things work today. We’ll listen, ask a few questions and give you an honest view of where AI and better ways of working could help. If we can’t help, we’ll say so.

No hard sell. Just a conversation about where your business could work better.

Because the goal isn’t to use more AI. It’s to build a better business.
