Navigate AI with clarity, confidence and collaboration.

AI is reshaping how organisations think, plan and deliver – but many teams are still unsure where to begin.

At Maine Associates, we don’t position ourselves as AI experts or technology specialists – instead, we act as facilitators, helping teams explore the business implications and practical opportunities of AI in a structured, outcome-focused way.

Our role is to create space for better thinking, stronger alignment and confident, collective progress – with a focus on what matters most to your organisation and customers, not the latest tools or trends.

Whether you’re building understanding, assessing readiness or shaping your first adoption roadmap, we support leaders and teams to explore AI in a way that’s grounded in purpose, not hype.

What we offer

We design and facilitate sessions that help organisations:

  • Build shared understanding of AI across teams and departments
  • Explore where AI could unlock business value — from efficiency to innovation
  • Identify strategic opportunities aligned to organisational priorities
  • Develop governance and policy to support responsible adoption
  • Strengthen internal capability through collaborative learning
  • Experiment with tools in a low-risk, business-relevant context
  • Shape practical roadmaps and next steps with clear outcomes

Our approach blends strategic facilitation, peer learning and structured exploration — helping your team build confidence and clarity, with business goals at the centre.

How we work

We use a flexible mix of formats to support your AI adoption journey:

  • AI Strategy Workshops – Structured sessions to explore opportunities, surface questions and align thinking around business priorities.
  • Leadership Offsites – Deeper facilitated discussions on organisational direction, readiness and governance for AI.
  • Explore AI Together – A practical, team-based programme to build confidence, capability and clarity around AI.
  • AI Design Sprints – Focused workshops to test ideas and explore real use cases that support your goals.
  • Peer Learning Events – Enable shared understanding and capability across teams, departments or delivery partners.
  • Thinking Partnerships – Helping leaders build confidence, enhance decision-making and grow with AI.

We also integrate diagnostic tools, collaborative frameworks and practical exercises — helping teams explore the ‘why’ and ‘where’ of AI adoption before diving into the ‘how’.

When to work with us

You might bring us in to:

  • Facilitate early conversations that help your organisation start thinking about AI in a practical, business-relevant way
  • Support leadership teams to explore policy, strategy and governance in a fast-evolving field
  • Guide collaborative sessions that connect teams and departments around shared understanding and outcomes
  • Develop adoption roadmaps rooted in your strategic context and operational readiness
  • Help leaders and teams build confidence through reflective, non-technical exploration
  • Offer a thinking partner role as you make sense of the opportunities ahead

We don’t claim to have all the answers — but we bring the questions, structure and facilitation needed to help your people find the right ones together.

Let’s talk

If you’re thinking about how AI fits into your organisation’s future, we’d love to help you create the space, structure and clarity to explore it well – with business goals leading the way. Contact us today.
