Whitepaper: How Forward Deployed Expertise pushes AI programs forward

See what changes when AI expertise moves closer to your business, your workflows, and the people doing the work.

AI teams can build impressive prototypes quickly. The harder part is turning them into solutions that solve the right problems, fit into real workflows, earn adoption, and keep creating value after the initial engagement ends.

This whitepaper explores a different approach: Slalom’s Forward Deployed Expertise embeds cross-functional teams alongside yours to connect business context, experience design, engineering, and adoption with Google’s AI capabilities. More than just building faster, this approach helps organizations create AI that works in the context of their business and builds momentum with every use case.

Explore how to:

• Start with business problems and workflows to identify where AI can create meaningful value
• Apply Google’s AI capabilities across models, agentic workflows, and experiences based on what the work requires
• Break complex workflows into reusable agent components that can support more than one use case
• Bring engineering, product, experience, and adoption expertise together from the beginning
• Move beyond successful prototypes by designing for production, adoption, and measurable value
• Build reusable knowledge and capabilities so the next AI initiative can start faster
