Quick Wins, Long-Term Impact: How to Start Your AI Transformation in 90 Days

Introduction: The 90-Day Pressure Cooker

Heads of Strategy and Innovation know the feeling: you’ve just taken on the role, everyone is asking “What’s your AI plan?”, and you have only months to prove yourself.

The good news: in 90 days, you can deliver real wins.

Why Quick Wins Matter

• Build credibility fast with leadership.
• Show tangible results to secure further budget.
• Generate momentum for long-term transformation.

Without quick wins, AI feels abstract. With them, it becomes real.

The 90-Day Blueprint

Kambria’s experience shows a three-phase sprint works best:

1. Weeks 1–2: Audit & Knowledge
   Baseline training, AI audit, alignment on rules.
2. Weeks 3–6: Identify & Prototype Use Cases
   Small but impactful projects chosen with business ROI in mind.
3. Weeks 7–12: Rollout & Showcase
   Deploy pilots into daily workflows, measure impact, and communicate results.

Example Scenario

A logistics company identifies invoice processing as a quick-win use case. Within 90 days:

• 50% less manual effort.
• Faster turnaround time.
• CFO can quantify cost savings, while innovation lead looks like a hero.

Long-Term Foundations

The point isn’t just one pilot; it’s creating internal champions and a playbook for scaling. Each quick win seeds cultural change and builds momentum for the marathon of transformation.

Conclusion: Sprints Build Marathons

The best way to start an AI transformation is to prove impact in 90 days. Quick wins are the foundation for lasting success.
