FinOps for AI Workshop

A structured discovery session that assesses your organization's AI spend maturity across 6 capability areas — spanning 18 of the FinOps Foundation's 22 capabilities, applied to AI as its own scope across cloud AI services, direct API providers, SaaS AI licenses, and on-prem AI hardware. For each capability area, we discuss where you are today using a Crawl, Walk, Run framework, then identify where to focus for the highest impact.

What to Expect

A structured discovery session where your team and WWT work through your AI spend maturity together across 6 capability areas — leaving with a defined AI FinOps scope, a maturity baseline, and a prioritized roadmap for where to focus next.

  • A guided assessment across 6 AI-differentiated Capability Areas, mapped to the FinOps Foundation's capabilities
  • Honest, facilitated conversation with your FinOps, finance, and AI/ML engineering stakeholders in the same room
  • Maturity scoring across AI Spend Scope & Visibility, Token Economics, Forecasting & Planning, Measurement & AI ROI, Optimization, and Governance & Policy
  • Covers all four AI spend categories - cloud managed AI services, direct API providers, SaaS AI licenses, and on-premises AI hardware
  • Written maturity snapshot and prioritized roadmap delivered within a week of the session
  • A prioritized view of where improvement will have the biggest impact on your AI investment

Goals & Objectives

By the end of this workshop, your team will have a shared understanding of your current AI spend maturity, a prioritized view of where visibility and governance gaps are costing you the most, and a clear starting point for connecting AI spend to business outcomes.

Benefits

Most AI cost conversations start with a surprising bill. This workshop starts earlier — bringing your FinOps, finance, and AI/ML engineering stakeholders into the same room to build a shared, honest picture of where your AI spend actually stands before it becomes a crisis. The output isn't a vendor pitch. It's a maturity snapshot you own, grounded in your own team's answers, that gives you a clear basis for deciding where to focus first.
