An AI opportunityroadmap forMyPower.
Bird's AI Perspective ran a Core AI Opportunity Assessment with MyPower. We sat with the people who do the work, mapped how each job actually runs, and asked how they felt about AI taking on parts of it. The output: a prioritised, phased roadmap with the top initiatives scoped end to end and ready to commission.

Where does AI create real leverage, and in what order should we adopt?
MyPower's leadership wanted a structured view of where AI fit, in what order, and at what cost. Not a tool shortlist and not a pilot: a decision they could act on, with the reasoning attached.
So we started with the work itself. We sat with the people who run each function, walked their workflows step by step, and recorded where the time actually goes. Then we asked each of them how they would feel about AI taking on parts of it, because a roadmap nobody wants to use is not a roadmap.
Twelve conversations to a delivered roadmap, in about two weeks.
Each step below feeds the next. Nothing is scored before it has been watched, and nothing is sequenced before it has been scored.
The engagement in five steps. Interviewed, week 1: 12 people, one conversation per function, following the work rather than a questionnaire. Surfaced: 29 opportunities, found by following how each job actually runs across seven departments. Prioritised: 12 initiatives, each weighed the same way, on impact, complexity and time to impact. Delivered, about week 2: the findings, the matrix and the roadmap handed to leadership as an executive presentation and a written report. In production, since: 2 initiatives built and shipped.
Four things the conversations made clear.
Twelve conversations, one per function, each following the work rather than a script. Four things came up in nearly all of them.
The same tasks kept coming up.
Different people in different departments described the same handful of manual steps. That repetition is what let us weigh them against each other rather than take them one at a time.
People were open to it, with conditions.
Nobody wanted decisions taken out of their hands. Most were glad to hand over the repetitive parts as long as they could see and check the output. That shaped which initiatives went first.
The data was already there.
Years of operational data sitting in the systems the team already uses. Nothing needed collecting, only connecting, which moved several initiatives earlier in the sequence than expected.
Everyone had a view, nobody had the whole picture.
Appetite across the business and plenty of good instincts, but no single view of where AI fit or in what order. Assembling that view is what the assessment is for.
Then we put all of it in one order.
Twenty-nine opportunities, every one scored the same way, so a two-week build and a six-month one could be compared on the same terms rather than argued about separately.
Twenty-nine opportunities on the table.
Every one scored the same way, on impact, complexity and time to impact. Twelve made the roadmap.
Twenty-nine opportunities scored on impact, complexity and time to impact.
One score sheet for all twenty-nine, so nothing was chosen on instinct. Impact on the vertical, complexity and cost on the horizontal. Twelve made the prioritised roadmap. Seventeen did not, and the reason is recorded for each of those too.
Twenty-nine opportunities plotted by impact and complexity. Twelve were prioritised: four Quick Wins, five Foundation Builders, and three Strategic Bets. The remaining seventeen were deprioritised, mostly lower impact or higher complexity, with the reason recorded for each.
Each dot is one opportunity. Position reflects impact and complexity. Full colour marks the twelve that were prioritised, muted marks the seventeen that were deprioritised. Opportunities are not labelled here.
Twelve initiatives, sequenced by complexity and time.
Sequenced by complexity and time to impact, so the quick wins land while the larger bets are still being built. Two have since shipped, and the rest sit with MyPower to commission whenever priorities and capacity allow.
Twelve prioritised initiatives plotted by estimated complexity and cost against an eighteen-month timeline. They climb from low-complexity quick wins in the first three months to higher-complexity strategic bets by month eighteen. Three were scoped end to end in the audit and two have shipped.
Daryon spent a day with us walking through how the business actually runs, then came back with a clear picture of where AI could genuinely help, what each option would cost, and what order to tackle things in.
It was coherent, straightforward and nicely presented, and importantly the decisions stayed ours. The Copilot training that came out of it has been the standout: our team's confidence with the tools went from 2 out of 10 to nearly 7, and people actually use it day to day. I'd recommend Bird's AI Perspective to any business that wants a practical view of AI rather than the hype.
