Moving Beyond the Pilot

The GTM strategy that takes an AI product from pilot to adoption.

A live working session on the 90 days between “yes to a pilot” and a product your buyer actually uses. Built on first principles and operating experience, with AI doing the repetitive work.

The problem

Your pilot went well. The demo landed. The champion loved it. Then it went quiet.

This is where enterprise AI deals die. Landing a pilot is the easy part. Deals are lost when the buyer never adopts what it trialed.

  • Nobody agreed on what success looked like.
  • The person who ran the pilot can’t sign.
  • Security shows up in month three.
  • Legal starts redlining after the pilot ends.
  • The first time the product gets something wrong, nobody has an answer.

Every one of these failures starts before kickoff. So does the fix.

The session

One live hour

Moving Beyond the Pilot is a one-hour live working session. You’ll design a pilot built to convert, find the people who actually sign, write the agreement that turns day 60 into a signature, and plan the production review where adoption is decided. Bring a live deal. You’ll apply each tool to it as we go.

What you take away

The five tools

01 The Pilot Canvas Seven fields to agree with your buyer before kickoff, from the baseline to the production price.
02 The Stakeholder Map The seven people who can stop your deal, the day to reach each one, and the question that finds them.
03 The Contract Checklist The seven terms that put the production decision inside the pilot agreement.
04 The 90-Day Conversion Plan Proof and paperwork on one timeline, so security and legal finish the day your metrics do.
05 When Your AI Is Wrong The four-part answer buyers need, with a worked example.

Where AI fits

Judgment first. Then AI carries the load.

Each tool starts with the question that decides the deal: who signs, what proof they need, what the paper commits them to. That part is judgment and experience. Once it’s right, AI carries the load. Su shows where she uses it at each step:

  • Drafting the stakeholder map from call notes
  • Tracking metrics against the baseline
  • Preparing security questionnaire answers

Why attend

This session is for you if…

  • A pilot is running now. You can’t tell if it will convert.
  • A pilot has stalled. It went quiet and you don’t know why.
  • A pilot is about to start. You want it built to close from day one.
  • The question you couldn’t answer. A buyer asked “what happens when your AI is wrong?” and your answer didn’t land.
  • You’re selling up-market. The buyer is ten times your size and you can’t see who signs.
