Case study · AI + organizational design

From 40+ interviews to clearer governance.

A confidentiality-aware account of how structured AI workflows supported synthesis, governance design, and executive storytelling within a larger Accenture consulting team.

Accenture L2EGlobal nonprofitSummer 2026Confidential engagement

The challenge was not a lack of information.

The client had extensive leadership input, existing forums, and multiple workstreams. The harder problem was turning that context into a clearer model for decisions, accountability, representation, and escalation.

Contributing inside a larger consulting team.

Ayotunde supported research, interview synthesis, governance analysis, role mapping, role profiles, and executive-ready materials. His final internship presentation recorded 45+ project meetings, 40+ interviews synthesized, and 15+ slides used in leadership meetings across four workstreams.

Ownership boundary: The engagement, recommendations, and client outcomes belonged to the Accenture team and client stakeholders. This case study describes Ayotunde’s documented contribution.

Make authority visible before asking people to move faster.

Decision forums

Mapped existing forums and helped define future-state forum types.

Decision rights

Clarified who recommends, decides, contributes, and owns follow-through.

Representation

Considered which roles and perspectives needed a seat in each forum.

Escalation

Helped shape pathways for issues that could not be resolved at the first level.

AI accelerated synthesis. Judgment stayed with the team.

Structure

Separate workspaces by purpose

Organized interview context and recurring tasks so prompts could be reused consistently.

Synthesize

Find patterns across interviews

Used AI to support meeting synthesis, governance analysis, and cross-interview themes.

Draft

Build working outputs

Created AI-assisted executive summaries and role profiles for further review.

Review

Refine with human context

Checked outputs against project conversations, team feedback, and confidentiality requirements.

Responsibility expanded with trust.

Across the summer, Ayotunde moved from supporting pieces of a workstream to owning much of its final executive profile and governance story. The progression mattered as much as the deliverables: ask sharper questions, absorb feedback, and make complex work easier for decision-makers to use.

Confidentiality is part of the method.

  • The client remains unnamed, and no internal client artifacts are published.
  • Counts come from Ayotunde’s final internship presentation record.
  • AI-assisted does not mean AI-decided. Team judgment and client context guided the work.
  • No claim is made that Ayotunde alone designed or implemented the final operating model.
