Senior advisory. Prime-contractor delivery.

Data and AI programs fail not because the models are bad, but because the strategy, architecture, and operating model around them aren’t ready. Guwanyi’s data and AI practice is led by Andrew Edwards, a former CIO with a PhD in AI and deep experience translating analytic ambition into operational reality. We help organisations move beyond proof-of-concept theatre to build durable data foundations, governed AI capability, and trusted analytics that change how the business operates. We work with your existing data platforms — we don’t push a stack — and we partner with delivery firms when implementation requires scale.

TYPICAL ENGAGEMENTS

• AI strategy and target operating model
• Data and analytics architecture
• MLOps and model governance
• AI assurance frameworks
• Executive AI advisory

Enterprise architecture earns its keep when senior business stakeholders trust it to make better decisions. Guwanyi’s architecture practice draws on decades of CIO and CTO experience across government, financial services, and retail — environments where architecture has to survive real-world change, not stay pristine on a slide. We help organisations set technology direction, design solutions for high-stakes programs, and assure delivery against intent. Our role is to bring senior architecture judgement to bear on the decisions that matter — and to keep technology grounded in the business outcomes it exists to enable.

TYPICAL ENGAGEMENTS

• Enterprise architecture function design
• Target state architecture
• Solution architecture for major programs
• Technology strategy
• Architecture review and assurance

Digital transformation is the term, but the work is operating-model change — and most programs underestimate how much. Guwanyi’s transformation leadership combines Big-4 consulting heritage with the operator perspective of former CIOs and CTOs who have actually delivered at scale. We help organisations frame the transformation thesis, structure the program, lead the senior engagement, and assure that delivery partners are doing the right work. We don’t replace your delivery partners. We bring the senior leadership perspective that makes them work — and that gives executives confidence the program is on track.

TYPICAL ENGAGEMENTS

• Transformation strategy and roadmap
• Program design and governance
• Vendor selection and partner management
• Executive sponsorship coaching
• Independent program assurance
