Transformative Human-First
AI Implementation
At Liminal Discovery, we approach Human First AI implementation with a methodology that aligns with our core values of creating sustainable business models within the 5P’s framework: People, Planet, Peace, Prosperity, and Partnership.
Our AI implementation strategy is designed in fact for senior executives in companies seeking to leverage AI’s potential without the overwhelming complexity often associated with large consultancy approaches. We focus on practical, ethical, and sustainable AI solutions that deliver real business value while prioritising the human element.
We understand that successful AI adoption requires more than just technology—it demands a thoughtful approach to change management, employee engagement, and ethical considerations.
Our methodology ensures that your AI implementation journey is not only technically sound but also aligned with your organisational values and long-term sustainability goals.
The AI Implementation Challenge
Many organisations struggle to realise the full potential of AI due to common pitfalls in their implementation approach.
Despite significant investments in AI technologies, many organisations face challenges in achieving meaningful results. The gap between AI’s potential and successful implementation often stems from overlooking the human element in AI strategies.
Common pitfalls include:
Failure to align AI initiatives with core business objectives and values
Short-term focus without consideration for long-term sustainability
Insufficient attention to change management and organisational readiness
Lack of clear ethical frameworks and governance structures
Technology-first approaches that neglect employee engagement and adoption
These challenges can lead to resistance, underutilisation, and ultimately, failed AI initiatives that deliver neither the expected business outcomes nor positive employee experiences.
Our Human-First AI Approach
We place people at the center of AI implementation, ensuring technology serves human needs rather than the other way around.
Employee Engagement & Empowerment
We involve employees in identifying tasks that don’t leverage their unique value contributions, creating a collaborative approach to AI implementation that builds ownership and reduces resistance.
Ethical Considerations
& Transparency
Our implementation process prioritises fairness, accountability, and transparency, ensuring AI systems align with organisational values and ethical standards.
Risk Mitigation
& Long-Term Viability
Our approach includes comprehensive risk assessment and mitigation strategies to prevent conflicts between AI models and ensure long-term value creation.
Sustainable
& Purpose-Driven
We design AI implementations that contribute to long-term business sustainability, considering environmental impact and alignment with the 5P’s framework.

AI at Liminal
Discovery
Since the public release of ChatGPT in late 2022, we’ve been actively exploring, testing, and applying large language models (LLMs) across our work at Liminal Discovery—using them not just as tools, but as prompts, for research, to rethink how we operate, collaborate, and create.
Product design
We are developing a proof-of-concept for an AI-based tool, rooted in real-world needs and designed for internal testing. Beyond validating its functionality, the project explores its potential as a standalone product—offering insight into what responsible, user-centred AI can look like in practice.
Education
Delivering hands-on AI courses at a private MBA school for BSc students—making complex technologies and implications tangible, relatable, and future-ready.
We write about AI
As part of our ongoing exploration, we document and share our thinking about AI’s social and environmental effects—publishing insights drawn from both practice and research. Have a look at our blog
