Our method
From questions to running systems — in four steps
MODE — Map, Orchestrate, Deliver, Evolve — is TealSpark's four-step method for putting AI to work in medium and large companies. It runs every engagement: we map the opportunities, orchestrate the plan, deliver working systems in your real operations and evolve them as the technology moves.
01Why a method
AI projects rarely fail on technology
They fail on sequence — building before understanding, tooling before process, launching before anyone owns the result. MODE keeps the order right: every step closes with something concrete, and nothing moves forward on faith alone.
02The four steps
What each step delivers
Step 01
Typical duration: 2–4 weeksMap
What we do
We sit with the people doing the work and map your processes, data and systems — where the hours go, where errors start, where decisions wait. Each opportunity is quantified and ranked by return and effort, so the shortlist is grounded in your numbers, not our enthusiasm.
What you get
- AI opportunity map of your organisation
- Prioritised shortlist with business cases
- Data and systems readiness assessment
Step 02
Typical duration: 2–3 weeksOrchestrate
What we do
We design the architecture, choose the right technology and orchestrate people, processes and tools into one coherent plan — including the governance and review gates that let you adopt quickly without losing control.
What you get
- Solution architecture and technology choices
- Delivery roadmap with milestones and owners
- Governance and data-protection framework
Step 03
Typical duration: 4–8 weeks per systemDeliver
What we do
We implement, integrate and test in your real operations — not in a slide deck. The teams who will run the system are in the room from the first build, so adoption happens during delivery, not after it.
What you get
- Working systems live in your operations
- Integration with your existing tools
- A team trained on the new way of working
Step 04
Typical duration: Ongoing — quarterly rhythmEvolve
What we do
We measure results against the business case, refine what runs and extend what works. Quarterly reviews keep the systems — and your shortlist — ahead of a technology that refuses to stand still.
What you get
- Results measured against the business case
- Quarterly evolution reviews
- A living pipeline of next opportunities
