AI adoption fails most often for organisational reasons, not technical ones: no owner, no success criteria, no plan for the workflow around the tool. This engagement looks across your business, identifies where AI creates real leverage, and sequences adoption so it holds.
What you gain
The problem
Leadership knows AI matters, tools are being trialled across departments, and nobody can say which experiments are worth continuing or what any of it has changed.
The approach
I assess where AI has genuine leverage across marketing, sales and operations, rank opportunities by value and readiness, and build a rollout plan with named owners, success criteria and guardrails.
What I help with
Concrete artefacts, not a summary slide. Everything below is documented and handed over.
AI readiness assessment across functions
Prioritised use case register with value estimates
Tool recommendations with cost comparison
Risk, privacy and data handling guidance
Phased adoption roadmap with owners
Pilot plans with measurable success criteria
Team training session
Executive summary for stakeholders
The ai business consulting engagement in five phases.
Review workflows, data maturity and team capability across the functions in scope.
Surface candidate use cases from the people doing the work, not from a vendor list.
Score by business value, implementation effort and organisational readiness.
Design a small, measurable first implementation with a named owner and a stop condition.
Expand what proves out, with training, guardrails and a review cadence.
Results depend on your baseline, so these are the changes the work is designed to produce rather than a promised percentage.
A ranked shortlist replaces scattered departmental experiments.
Data handling and acceptable use agreed before sensitive information reaches a vendor.
Owners, training and success criteria so pilots reach production instead of stalling.
This engagement fits best when at least two of these describe your situation.
Marketing and sales are where I go deepest, but the assessment covers operations and customer service too, since that is often where the clearest time savings sit.
Bring your current setup and the outcome you need. The first call is about deciding whether this engagement is the right one — not about selling you into it.
