An AI opportunity roadmap for MyPower.
Bird's AI Perspective ran a Core AI Opportunity Assessment with MyPower in a single onsite day. The output: a prioritised, phased roadmap with the top initiatives scoped end-to-end and ready to commission.

Solutions identified
29
Surfaced across the discovery. Twelve were shortlisted and prioritised onto the roadmap.
Business units
7
End-to-end workflows mapped across every function.
Initiatives scoped
3
The top initiatives scoped end-to-end, with workflow comparisons, time savings and fixed-fee build estimates.
Diagnostic
1 day onsite
A full day at the client's offices, walking workflows end-to-end across every function.
How the shortlist was drawn
Opportunities surfaced across the discovery were each scored on multiple axes and placed against the others. Twelve initiatives made the prioritised roadmap. The rest were deprioritised with reason recorded.
Where does AI create real leverage, and in what order should we adopt?
MyPower had reached the point where operational drag was showing up in familiar patterns. Capacity pressure during peak periods. Senior team time absorbed by manual, repetitive work. Operational data captured across systems but not yet structured for analysis.
Leadership wanted a structured view of where AI fit, in what order, and at what cost. The brief was practical. Look at operations end-to-end, find the points of leverage, and sequence them by complexity and time-to-impact. Quote only what the discovery actually evidenced.
What it was not
A tool selection exercise.
What it was
A leverage map and a sequencing decision.
A full-day onsite, then a structured prioritisation.
Core Assessments at BAP run as a structured diagnostic, not a discovery workshop. Three steps, one deliverable.
- 01
Diagnose
A full day at the client's offices, walking workflows end-to-end across every function. Every manual touchpoint surfaced and captured.
- 02
Prioritise
Every opportunity scored against impact, complexity, and time-to-impact. The shortlist sequenced into Quick Wins, Foundation Builders, and Strategic Bets.
- 03
Deliver
A phased adoption roadmap with the top initiatives scoped end-to-end. Workflow comparisons, time savings, and fixed-fee build estimates included. Findings presented to leadership.
Operational drag in well-understood patterns
- 01
Capacity ceilings, not capability gaps
Throughput hit a wall during peak periods. The constraint was capacity, not technology or competence.
- 02
Senior time on repetitive work
Manual, templated tasks absorbed senior operational time disproportionate to their commercial value.
- 03
The data was already there
Years of operational data captured across existing systems, but not structured for analysis. The constraint was preparation, not collection.
- 04
No shared AI strategy in place
Pockets of curiosity, no organisation-wide framework for where AI fit, in what sequence, or under what governance. This assessment provided the starting point.
Where we found leverage
The surfaced solutions clustered into four areas. Most operationally mature SMEs find leverage in roughly the same places, in different proportions. The examples below are illustrative, not exhaustive.
Illustrative examples, not exhaustive
Process documentation
- Workflow diagram generation from interviews
- Standard operating procedure drafting
Customer operations
- CRM follow-up sequencing
- Proposal first-draft generation
Internal knowledge access
- Technical reference lookup
- Supplier and contract Q&A
Operational analytics
- Anomaly flagging in operational data
- Exception reporting from existing systems
Every opportunity scored against impact, complexity, and time-to-impact
Opportunities surfaced across the discovery were each scored on multiple axes and placed against the others. The matrix below is a flattened view: impact on the vertical, complexity on the horizontal. Twelve initiatives made the prioritised roadmap. The rest were deprioritised with reason recorded.
Three categories, twelve initiatives, sequenced
The matrix produced three roadmap categories, each carrying a different commercial logic and sitting at a different point on the timeline.
- 4
Quick Wins
0 to 3 months
Highest leverage in the first 90 days. Low complexity, evidenced commercial value, immediate operational relief.
- 5
Foundation Builders
3 to 9 months
Mid-term work that unlocks downstream automation. Each builds infrastructure that subsequent initiatives reuse.
- 3
Strategic Bets
9 to 18 months
Higher-effort initiatives sequenced behind the foundations. Larger commercial upside, longer payback, executed once the groundwork is in place.
From roadmap to production
- Two of the prioritised quick-win initiatives moved into delivery and shipped: a process documentation tool and a Copilot adoption training session.
- A third initiative moved into formal scoping shortly after the assessment closed.
- The remaining roadmap sits with MyPower to commission as priorities and capacity allow.
A roadmap they could act on with us, or with anyone
BAP assessments end with the client able to commission with anyone. The diagnostic is portable. The methodology is documented. Below is what MyPower owned the day the assessment closed.
The full opportunity inventory
Every surfaced opportunity, scored and grouped. The complete diagnostic, not just the prioritised subset.
The phased roadmap
Initiatives sequenced across three time horizons, with rationale for the ordering.
Top initiatives scoped end-to-end
Workflow comparisons, time savings, fixed-fee build estimates. Ready to commission.
An honest cost baseline
Cost savings quantified where evidenced. Throughput and revenue benefits flagged but not assumed.
The roadmap is MyPower's. Every initiative in it can be commissioned with us, internally, or with another partner. We don't hold any of it hostage.
