AI consulting that ends with your team running it
Most AI consulting ends with a plan. Mine ends when your team is running one real process with AI and can change it without me.
What you're actually buying
When you hire me, you're buying one piece of your team's work, done by AI, owned by your team. Not a strategy deck. Not a pilot that lives on one laptop.
That matters because the failure rate is high. By some estimates more than 80% of AI projects fail, twice the rate of IT projects that don't involve AI (RAND). The tools are rarely the reason. The work was never written down clearly enough for AI to do it.
How an engagement runs
Every engagement has the same three steps.
- Define the process. I sit with the people who do the work and write down how it really gets done: the steps, the judgement calls, and what good looks like.
- Build it. I set up AI to run that process on the tools you already use, and test it on one real project before it goes any further.
- Hand it over. I train your team to run it and change it, then check in until it's just how work gets done.
The first step is where most of the value is. I've written more about it in AI can only do work that's been defined.
What's included
- Sessions with the people who do the work, and a written version of the process they can read.
- The build, on the AI and software you already pay for.
- A test on one real project, with your team checking the output.
- Training, so your team can run it and change it.
- Check-ins after handover, until nobody thinks of it as new.
What's not included: a long report you have to implement yourself.
The people side
Every team has someone who's uneasy about AI: worried about their job, burned by a tool that didn't work, or just tired of change. Alongside the AI work, I'm a mindset coach. I make time for those people, hear out what's actually bothering them, and help them see what AI takes off their plate rather than what it takes away. People who've been heard give a new way of working a real chance.
Which AI I use
Whatever fits the job. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, or the one you already pay for. A clearly defined process works on any of them. An unclear one fails on all of them.
Proof
At a 25-person marketing agency, AI went from two curious people to 22 teammates set up, with 16 shared team processes. At a software startup, a founder who doesn't code now runs her own AI sales pipeline. It runs three times a day and drafts every email for her to send.
We didn't measure hours saved on either, so I don't quote any.
Who it fits
Teams of 5 to 200 where a couple of people get real value from AI and everyone else is watching. A typical start is one process, one team, a few weeks.
Common questions
What do AI consulting services include?
With me: writing down one of your processes with the people who do it, building AI to run it on your existing tools, testing it on a real project, and training your team to run and change it.
How long does an engagement take?
A typical start is one process, one team, a few weeks. I scope it with you on the first call, once I know what the work is.
Do you only work with one AI tool?
No. I work with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, or whatever you already pay for, and pick what fits the job.
What happens when you leave?
Your team runs it. The rules are written down in plain language, so the people who use it can read them and change them.
