From AI pilot to production.

For organisations that want AI to deliver measurable results, and for software companies building AI into their products.

Team reviewing an AI workflow on a large screen

AI that works
in production.

~40%
less manual effort from AI agents I shipped into production
90%+
reduction in workflow noise from the same agents
25
years building enterprise software, from engineering to product leadership

Results like these come from the foundation, not the model: the right workflow, clear ownership and human oversight where it matters.

Three reasons AI pilots
never reach production.

01The readiness check was skipped.
Teams jump to tooling before anyone has asked whether the data, processes and people are ready. The problems surface months later, in production.
02Nobody designed the operating model.
AI features get shipped into organisations that haven’t defined who owns them, who reviews their output, or what success looks like.
03Analysis was confused with execution.
A strategy deck doesn’t ship. The gap between “we have a plan” and “we have a production capability” is where most AI budgets disappear.

Foundation first,
then the build.

The order matters. Teams that start at step three end up with tools that have no system to land in.

01
Step 01
Understand the Work

Map the real processes, the workarounds and the knowledge that lives in people’s heads. You cannot design AI for a process you only think you understand.

02
Step 02
Design the Operating Model

Define roles, handoffs, oversight and KPIs for the AI-augmented state before any code is written or prompt is engineered.

03
Step 03
Build and Scale

Now the technology lands in a system designed to receive it. The build is fast when the foundation is right, and it keeps delivering after launch.

Most organisations start at step 3. That's why so many pilots stall. See the full framework →

Nine dimensions of
AI readiness.

Applied at the right depth for your organisation's size and stage.

01Data Readiness
Is your data clean, accessible and well governed enough to train or prompt an AI system reliably?
02Process Definition
Are the workflows you want to augment documented and understood, or are you automating guesswork?
03Operating Model
Have you defined roles, handoffs and accountability for the AI-augmented state before you build anything?
04Stakeholder Alignment
Does leadership share one definition of success? Misaligned sponsors stall more AI projects than bad code.
05Technical Infrastructure
Can your cloud, APIs and integration layer support what you are trying to build and scale?
06AI Literacy
Can your team evaluate outputs, catch failures and iterate without always needing a data scientist?
07Use-Case Prioritisation
Can you rank AI opportunities by business value and feasibility, and resist starting with the flashiest one?
08Measurement & KPIs
Have you defined success in business terms before you build, not just model accuracy?
09Governance & Oversight
Is there clear ownership, usage policy and human oversight so AI decisions can be reviewed and corrected?

Four ways I help
with AI.

01
AI Strategy & Readiness
Know Where AI Will Pay Off Before You Build

Most AI pilots stall because the foundation was never checked. I assess your data, processes, operating model and team readiness, then identify and rank the AI opportunities worth pursuing by business value and feasibility.

02
Agentic AI & Automation
Move AI Agents From Demo To Production

I have shipped AI agents into production that cut manual effort by roughly 40% and noise in the workflow by over 90%. I help teams find the workflows where agents genuinely reduce workload, design them with the right human oversight, and take them from pilot to production.

What We Cover
  • Workflow Selection
  • Agentic Workflow Design
  • Human-in-the-Loop Controls
  • Tool & System Integration
  • Pilot-to-Production Rollout
  • Outcome Measurement
Deliverables
  • Agent Use-Case Shortlist
  • Agent Architecture

OutcomeAI agents that measurably reduce manual work and hold up in production.
03
AI Build vs. Buy & Governance
Make AI Investment Decisions That Hold At Scale

Choosing between building in-house and licensing a model or platform is an economics question, not a feature checklist. I model cost per customer and per run against margin, and set up the governance (ownership, usage policy and oversight) that lets AI scale responsibly.

What We Cover
  • Build vs. Buy Analysis
  • Model & Vendor Selection
  • Cost-per-Run Economics
  • AI Usage Policy
  • Ownership & Oversight
  • Regulatory Readiness (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF)
Deliverables
  • Build-vs-Buy Business Case
  • Vendor Scorecard
  • AI Governance Framework
  • Recommendation Memo
OutcomeDefensible AI investment decisions and governance that scales with adoption.
04
AI Product Strategy
For Software Companies Building AI Into Their Products

For SaaS and enterprise software companies adding AI to their products. I help define where AI creates real customer value and differentiation, how to package and price it, and how to get it from roadmap to adoption.

What We Cover
  • AI Product Vision
  • Customer Value & Differentiation
  • AI Feature Roadmap
  • Pricing & Monetisation
  • Go-to-Market
  • Product Team Coaching
Deliverables
  • AI Product Strategy
  • Executive Roadmap
  • Monetisation Model
  • GTM Plan
OutcomeAn AI product strategy tied to customer value and revenue.

The same nine dimensions apply whether you're a 20-person startup or a 10,000-person enterprise. The depth changes. The sequence doesn't.
