Successful AI adoption happens where AI meets human structure.

Your teams are ready for AI.

Procedures Matter helps organisations adopt AI with greater efficiency and responsible decision-making.

The approach

A structured approach to successful AI adoption.

AI is changing how we work. Not eventually. Now. And the organisations that get the most out of it are not the ones with the most tools. They are the ones who bring their teams along, see real efficiency gains, and just get started.

I help teams bring AI into daily work. Practically, accessibly, and in a way that brings everyone on board. Accountability and governance are not an afterthought. They are what makes it last.

01

Assess AI Readiness

  • ·Understand where your organisation currently stands with AI
  • ·Identify skill gaps, readiness barriers and entry points
  • ·Build a shared baseline across leadership and teams

Result

AI Readiness Assessment. Documented, specific to your organisation.

02

Define Use Cases

  • ·Analyse real workflows, not hypothetical scenarios
  • ·Identify and prioritise high-value use cases
  • ·Define safe and meaningful entry points

Result

3 to 5 prioritised AI use cases. Documented and ready to act on.

03

Integrate AI into the Work

  • ·Select tools based on actual needs
  • ·Design workflows around AI support
  • ·Build in review points and human oversight

Result

Adapted workflows. Defined review points. AI running in daily operations.

EU AI Act Alignment Overview

What applies to your context, what to document, what to do next.

Who this is for

CEOs and leadership teams

AI is on your board agenda but nobody has a clear implementation plan

You want AI to create real efficiency, not just a pilot that fades away

You need someone who understands both business and technology

CFOs and finance departments

You need to justify AI investment with real use cases and measurable outcomes

Risk, compliance, and cost of AI are not yet clearly mapped

You want AI integrated into financial workflows, not just experimented with

Legal and compliance teams

AI use in your organisation must meet GDPR and EU AI Act requirements

You need documentation and accountability structures for AI systems in use

You want legal and compliance perspectives built into AI adoption from day one

Operations and project teams

You manage high volumes of repetitive work that AI could take over

You have tried AI tools but adoption was inconsistent across the team

You want AI built into how work gets done, not bolted on afterwards

Human structure makes organisations AI-ready.

The visible side of AI is tools.

What matters most is accountability, processes and compliance.

The visible part of AI is tools. What matters most is underneath: accountability, processes, governance.

Decision ownership
Procedures
Compliance

Most AI initiatives focus on the visible part. What determines success is everything underneath: who owns decisions, how processes are structured, and whether governance is built in from the start.

The challenge

Successful AI adoption goes beyond technology.

What matters is introducing AI in a way that fits how your organisation works, supports responsible decisions, and creates real value in everyday work.

"We bought the tools. Nobody uses them properly."

Adoption failure

"Our teams are using AI informally. Nobody knows the risks."

Shadow AI exposure

"We need to be EU AI Act compliant but don't know what applies to us."

Compliance uncertainty

"Leadership wants AI. Teams are afraid of it."

Readiness gap

"We don't know where to start. Every vendor promises everything."

Direction confusion

"Who is accountable when AI makes a mistake?"

About me

Marta Schmidl

Marta Schmidl

AI Adoption Advisor · Decision Structures · International Legal Counsel

I work on how AI becomes part of daily operations - in a way that aligns with responsibility, risk and real workflows.

My background combines international legal practice, project management and hands-on AI adoption in legal and business teams. This shapes how I design AI use in real working environments.

I work within a structured AI environment, integrated into my daily workflows. I apply it within clear principles, with human judgment and accountability always at the forefront.

I bring a strong understanding of legal risk, organisational reality and the human side of adoption.
