“The best AI strategies begin not with data or algorithms, but with business problems that matter.“
- Tom Davenport
The AI Advantage: How to Put the Artificial Intelligence Revolution to Work
Artificial Intelligence can feel like both an opportunity and a buzzword. If you’re feeling cautious or experiencing “AI disappointment” so far, you’re not alone. Many HR teams in mid-size companies encounter similar hurdles in the early stages of AI adoption and lack the resources enjoyed by HR teams in larger organisations.
Our philosophy is to start with business problems, not technology. Orchard Tree Consulting helps HR teams use AI to solve business problems they face. A structured approach to AI can upskill your team, improve operational efficiency and build your competitive edge, even if you’re just starting out
Adopting AI is a journey, but it doesn’t have to be a daunting one. With a clear strategy, a focus on business value, and the right guidance, HR teams in mid-size companies can enjoy the same competitive advantages and efficiencies that larger players do.

From Strategy to Scale: Consulting Support for HR Teams
From Insight to Impact: An AI Adoption Partnership Package
Orchard Tree Consulting offers From Insight to Impact: An AI Adoption Partnership Package. This packaged service guides HR teams through four key stages of AI adoption. Each phase is customised to your needs and has defined activities and outcomes, ensuring transparency and steady progress so that you see results at each step along the way.
1. Discovery
We begin by understanding your current state, goals for AI use in HR and pain points which AI is suited to solve. This includes:
- Executive and frontline HR employee workshops to identify high-impact areas
- Development of a list of initial AI use-case ideas with a focus on quick wins
- Measures of success and feasibility to show the potential return on investment
2. Design
We move to a deep-dive into the top AI use case(s) in HR, mapping out requirements, identifying staff up-skilling needs and measures of success. This includes:
- A solution blueprint for the top AI use cases, including process changes, AI model or tool selection, and a data preparation plan
- A pilot plan with a defined scope, timeline, resources and success measures
- A change management plan with training needs for users
3. Pilot
We deploy the AI solution on a small scale (e.g. one department or process) to ensure a working AI Pilot in HR which solves the business problem as intended. This includes:
- Iterating and refining the solution based on real data and feedback
- Measuring results v. expectations (e.g. user uptake and experience, efficiencies gained)
- Train staff and integrate into existing workflow with minimal disruption
4. Scale
We integrate the AI solution across the broader HR team or organization or add additional use cases. This includes:
- Rolling out training for the wider user base and adjusting processes as needed
- Establishing guidelines and governance for transparent and ethical use
- Outlining a continuous improvement framework (regular check-ins, updates)
