This playbook maps Future's ideal customer profile across account, prospect, and persona dimensions, then lays out 5 signal-based outbound plays. Each play fires on a specific buying signal so your outreach lands the moment a prospect is most likely to act.
| Dimension | Qualified | Prioritization |
|---|---|---|
| Geography | North America (US primary), UK, Western Europe | Tier 1: US Fortune 500 and large mid-market. Tier 2: UK and EU enterprise with US operations. |
| Employee Count | 500 to 50,000 employees | Sweet spot is 1,000 to 15,000. Below 500 lacks the transformation budget. Above 50,000 often locked into Tier 1 SIs. |
| Industry / Vertical | Commercial real estate, industrial supply chain, energy and renewables, advanced manufacturing, retail operations | Tier 1: Asset-heavy operators with complex supply chain or fulfillment. Tier 2: Financial services ops, healthcare operations. |
| Key Qualifying Signal | Company has an active AI pilot, proof-of-concept, or innovation lab initiative that has not reached production and is not moving the P&L | Highest: PoC running 6+ months with no production deployment. High: Public statements about AI investment without operational results. Medium: New Chief AI Officer or AI transformation hire. |
| Tech Stack | SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, ServiceNow, or legacy ERP indicating operational complexity. Microsoft Azure or AWS infrastructure. | Prioritize accounts with SAP or Oracle ERP plus a visible AI experimentation layer (Copilot, Azure OpenAI, Databricks). |
| Revenue / Funding | $100M to $10B annual revenue. Mid-market: Series C and beyond or profitable. | Tier 1: $500M+ revenue with transformation budget. Tier 2: $100M to $500M with funded digital transformation mandate. |
| Intent Signals | Job postings for AI transformation, Chief AI Officer, or digital operations roles. G2 or Bombora intent on AI consulting, enterprise AI, or systems integration. | High: Multiple AI or transformation hires in 90 days. Medium: Single senior AI hire. Low: General digital transformation intent only. |
| Dimension | Qualified | Prioritization |
|---|---|---|
| Seniority | C-Suite, EVP, SVP, VP | Primary: C-Suite and SVP buyers who own P&L outcomes. Secondary: VP and Director operators who are the internal champion. |
| Primary Titles | CIO, Chief AI Officer, Chief Supply Chain Officer, Chief Transformation Officer, Chief Innovation Officer, COO | CIO and Chief AI Officer are the economic buyers. COO and Chief Supply Chain Officer are the outcome owners. |
| Secondary Influencers | VP of Digital Transformation, VP of Operations, VP of Supply Chain, Head of AI, Director of Enterprise Architecture, CFO (at mid-market) | VP Digital and Head of AI are champion personas who have been waiting for someone to actually ship. Engage them to navigate to the C-Suite buyer. |
| LinkedIn Keywords | AI transformation, enterprise AI, digital operations, supply chain optimization, AI operationalization, intelligent automation, agentic AI, ERP modernization, digital twin | Profiles mentioning failed AI pilots, stalled digital transformation, or SI disappointment are the highest signal prospects. |
| Persona | Level | KPIs | Related Challenges | Intent Signals | Related Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chief Information Officer | C-Suite | IT cost as percent of revenue, system uptime, digital transformation ROI, vendor consolidation | Locked into expensive SIs with slow mobilization. AI investments are not reaching production. Board pressure to show AI ROI without another 2-year program. | Searching for SI alternatives. Attending Gartner or Forrester AI events. Posting about AI strategy on LinkedIn. | 3.3x faster time-to-value vs Tier 2 SIs. Outcome-staked delivery reduces program risk. Vendor-agnostic architecture avoids lock-in. |
| Chief AI Officer | C-Suite | AI use cases in production, P&L impact attributable to AI, speed from pilot to deployment | Inherited a portfolio of PoCs that never shipped. Struggling to translate AI experiments into operational results that finance will sign off on. | New in role within 12 months. Public LinkedIn posts about AI operationalization or moving past pilot stage. Hiring AI engineers and ML ops roles. | Structured 12-week cycles that ship verifiable value each cycle. ROI-approving stakeholder lock-in at week two removes internal approval friction. |
| Chief Supply Chain Officer | C-Suite | Inventory turns, freight cost per unit, SLOB reduction, demand forecast accuracy, working capital | Supply chain volatility exposing gaps in allocation logic and demand sensing. Manual exception management consuming ops team capacity. | Job postings for supply chain analytics or demand planning roles. Public commentary on freight costs or inventory challenges. Attending supply chain conferences. | Fulfillment digital twins, demand sensing, and SKU rationalization delivered in a single 12-week cycle. Margin and freight protection with measurable working capital release. |
| VP of Digital Transformation | VP | Program delivery velocity, change adoption rate, number of transformation initiatives in production, stakeholder satisfaction | Internal champion stuck between executive vision and SI delivery timelines. Programs are change-order-heavy and over-budget. No named senior experts on the engagement. | Actively researching AI consulting alternatives on G2 or LinkedIn. Posting about transformation frustrations or lessons learned. Engaging with Future Works content. | Named senior experts on every engagement. Change-order-free sprints. Free Until Value pilot removes budget approval barrier for first engagement. |
| Chief Operations Officer | C-Suite | Cost-to-serve, EBITDA margin, order-to-cash cycle time, cost per transaction, service level attainment | Operational workflows still running on manual or semi-automated processes. AI investments by IT are not touching the workflows that move the P&L. | Hiring for operational excellence or process improvement roles. Attending operations or supply chain summits. Board reporting on margin compression. | Agentic execution of order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, and S&OP workflows. Customer experience and service operations that lift CSAT while compressing cost-to-serve. |
We target CIOs, Chief AI Officers, and transformation leaders at asset-heavy enterprises whose AI pilots are visibly stalled, using evidence of the gap between announcement and production as the hook. Future Works offers outcome-staked 12-week cycles as the direct alternative to another SI-led program that never ships.
