FAQ

Common Questions from Executive Teams

These are the questions leadership teams typically ask when evaluating enterprise AI advisory partnerships.
What kind of companies do you typically work with?

We work with established organizations and leadership teams navigating enterprise-scale change, including AI adoption, operating model evolution, and regulated transformation. Our clients range from growth-stage companies preparing for scale to mature enterprises operating in complex or regulated environments.

What does ONE Department actually deliver?

We help organizations design and operationalize AI-ready enterprise models. This includes strategic direction, operating model design, AI enablement, governance, and value realization—ensuring initiatives move from intent to sustained business impact.

Do you offer one-time projects or ongoing advisory?

Both. We support focused advisory engagements for clarity and direction, as well as longer-term embedded advisory for organizations navigating sustained transformation. The appropriate model depends on complexity, risk profile, and organizational readiness.

How quickly can an engagement begin?

Engagements typically begin within a short planning window following an initial executive discussion. Timing depends on scope, organizational context, and any regulatory or governance considerations.

Is ONE Department a fit for early-stage organizations?

Our work is best suited for organizations facing structural decisions around AI, scale, governance, or operating models. In select cases, we engage earlier-stage teams when the complexity and risk profile warrant senior advisory involvement.

What industries do you specialize in?

We work across industries where AI adoption intersects with operational complexity, governance, or regulation. This includes technology-enabled services, financial services, life sciences, and other regulated or high-stakes environments.

How do you approach AI governance and risk?

Governance is designed alongside strategy and execution, not added afterward. We help organizations define decision rights, oversight mechanisms, evaluation criteria, and risk controls appropriate to their regulatory and operational context.

Do you work with internal data, security, and compliance teams?

Yes. Effective AI adoption requires alignment across leadership, technology, risk, and compliance functions. Our work is structured to integrate with internal stakeholders rather than bypass them.
