AIM

(AI on Mission)

A 90-minute working session that turns AI uncertainty into a clear plan your whole team can act on.

OVERVIEW

What are you aiming for with AI?

You know AI should be part of your business. The harder question is where to start. With so much on the line, most teams end up stuck between too many options and not enough clarity on which one is actually worth the investment.

Common patterns we see:

Too many ideas with no clear way to choose between them
Analysis paralysis around where to even begin
Pressure to move on AI without knowing which bet is low risk, high reward
Pilots that never make it past the experiment stage
Different departments pulling in different directions

If any of that sounds familiar, you're not behind and you're not alone. The goal isn't to do everything with AI at once. It's to find the right place to start, one that's low risk, high reward, and actually likely to deliver value. That is exactly what AIM is built for.

You bring the business knowledge.
We bring the AI expertise.

AIM is designed for business leaders who are ready to move forward on AI. In a 90-minute session, a dedicated Mission Solutions Architect coaches your team through identifying where AI can make the biggest difference across your business functions, scoring each opportunity by impact and complexity, and building a prioritized roadmap you can act on immediately.

Your Solutions Architects have led these conversations across dozens of industries. They know what works, what to avoid, and how to get you moving. That experience comes into every session, so your plan is grounded in what's actually possible for a business like yours, not just what sounds good on paper.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

A working session for leaders across your business

AIM brings together leaders from every part of your business, not just your technical team. The ideal mix includes your executive visionary, and leaders from finance, operations, sales, marketing, product, delivery, customer success, and HR. If someone would be responsible for building or maintaining AI solutions, they should be there too.

That mix of perspectives in one session, guided by a Mission Solutions Architect, is what turns a brainstorm into a plan your whole business can get behind.

WHAT YOUR SESSION LOOKS LIKE

Ready, set, AIM.

1. Meeting AI where you are

Before the brainstorm begins, your Solutions Architect sets the stage. You'll see real examples of how businesses like yours are using AI across different functions, so the possibilities feel concrete, not abstract. By the time the brainstorm starts, everyone in the session has a clear sense of what's possible and what's worth going after.

2. Identify your AI opportunities

Your Solutions Architect leads your team through a creative brainstorm of where AI could make the biggest impact to your business. The goal is to surface opportunities across every function that your team might not have considered on their own.

3. Evaluate the impact

Each opportunity is evaluated on two dimensions: business impact and implementation complexity. That scoring gives your team a clear, defensible way to separate the quick wins from the longer-term investments, and know which bets are low risk, high reward.

4. Build your AI roadmap

Your opportunities get plotted on a visual nine-box matrix. You leave the session knowing exactly where to start, what to save for later, and what to skip entirely.

BENEFITS

A plan your whole team can get behind

AIM is a business conversation, not a technology one. Whether your team lives in AI tools or has never touched one, this conversation is built for all. All you need is knowledge of your own business. We take it from there.

Your priorities, visualized

No more debating which AI initiative deserves attention first. Your opportunities are plotted on a nine-box matrix, giving your whole team a single, clear picture of where to focus first.

Build your plan before you commit

AIM is a fully partner-funded engagement, which means there's no cost to your organization. The goal is to help you make the right investment plan without being rushed into a buying decision.

Your whole leadership team, on the same page

AIM puts your executive visionaries, and operational leaders in the same session, focused on the same problems, leaving you with real cross-functional alignment in 90 minutes.

Leave with a plan, not a report

Every opportunity that comes out of the session is tied to a specific recommendation. You leave with a documented roadmap with clear next steps so you can move forward immediately.

WHY MISSION FOR AIM

We start with your business, not the technology

CDW has spent decades helping organizations solve real business problems. Mission Cloud has spent years building and deploying AI solutions on AWS. We understand where your business has been, not just where AI can take it. We don't start with the technology and work backwards. We start with your business problems and find the right solutions to match.

Our Solutions Architects have built and deployed AI solutions across 300+ engagements on AWS. When they recommend a next step, it's because they've delivered it before.

Frequently Ask Questions

What exactly happens during an AIM workshop?

Your Mission Solutions Architect leads your team through a guided brainstorm to surface up to 10 AI opportunities across your business. Each one gets evaluated by business impact and complexity, then plotted on a nine-box prioritization matrix. You leave with a clear picture of where to start, what to save for later, and a recommended next step for each opportunity.

Who from our organization should attend?

The session works best with decision-makers from across your business, not just your technical team. That typically means your executive decision-maker, the person who controls budget, and leaders from operations, finance, or product. If someone would be responsible for building or maintaining AI solutions down the road, they should be there too.

Is there a cost?

AIM is a fully partner-funded engagement, which means there's no cost to your organization. It's designed to help you build an informed plan before committing budget to anything.

What happens after the workshop?

You leave your session with a documented prioritization matrix and specific next-step recommendations. Each one is tied to an AWS-native solution fit to your initiative, so you have a clear path from the session to execution.

What if we have no AI experience at all?

That's exactly who AIM was built for. The session doesn't assume any prior AI knowledge. It starts from your business challenges, not from technology, and your Solutions Architect will calibrate the conversation to wherever your team is starting from.

Do we need to be committed to AWS to participate?

AIM is Mission’s version of the AWS program AI Roadmap Prioritization, and Mission is a 100% AWS-focused partner. To get full value from the session and the recommendations that follow, your organization should have existing workloads on AWS or be planning to move there.
