AI strategy, transformation and development.
Most engagements start with strategy and continue into transformation or development. Some clients bring me in for one piece of work; others keep me on as a fractional CTO or Chief AI Officer.
AI strategy
Where AI will make a measurable difference to your business, and what to do first.
- Current capability assessment: data, systems, processes and skills
- Scored AI opportunity map: value, feasibility, risk and time to impact
- Twelve month roadmap with quick wins and larger bets
- Build, buy or partner decisions, with the reasoning written down
- Board ready strategy material your team can present
AI transformation
Moving AI out of pilots and into how your organisation works day to day.
- Operating model and ownership for AI across the business
- AI governance and risk: approval points, oversight and records
- Vendor and partner selection, and managing them through delivery
- Change and capability building, including AI literacy workshops
- Cloud and data foundations the AI work depends on
AI development
AI systems designed to run in production from the start.
- Agentic AI: teams of AI workers with human review where it matters
- AI platform and integration architecture across Azure, AWS and Google Cloud
- Retrieval and knowledge systems over your own documents and data
- Proofs of concept that are designed to become production systems
- Architecture and code reviews of work done by your team or suppliers
Fractional CTO, CAIO and advisory
Senior technology and AI leadership in your team, without a full time hire.

- Startup CEO advisory: technology strategy, hiring, product and fundraising conversations
- Long term technology strategy for leadership teams and boards

- Interim leadership to steady a transformation that has gone off track
