AI strategy that starts with your business, not the technology.

Who this is for

Business owners, directors and senior managers who know AI matters but want a clear, honest answer to one question: "what should we actually do?" Maybe you've been pitched a dozen tools and read all the headlines, and you still don't have a plan you'd put money behind. One session can replace months of second-guessing.

What we cover

• Opportunity mapping. Where AI can remove cost, time or risk in your specific operation, ranked by payback.
• Build vs buy. Whether an off-the-shelf tool, a custom build, or no AI at all is the right answer for each opportunity.
• Vendor and tool evaluation. An independent view on the products you're being sold, with no reseller commission behind it.
• Roadmap and sequencing. What to do first, what to defer, and what to ignore entirely.
• Risk and governance. Data protection, UK GDPR considerations, and keeping humans accountable for the decisions that matter.

What you leave with

A written summary of the session within 24 hours: the opportunities we identified, the recommended sequence, indicative costs, and the specific next step for each one. It's yours to act on, with me or without me.

Why one hour is enough

Most organisations don't need a six-week discovery engagement to know where to start. They need an experienced outsider to ask the right questions, translate the technology into commercial terms, and commit to a recommendation. That's what this session is for. If your situation genuinely needs deeper work, I'll tell you, and you'll only ever pay for what the problem requires.
