AI consulting for owner-led companies

Owner-led companies of roughly 50 to 500 people. And smaller ones with bigger digital plans than their size suggests. What they usually have in common: business is fine, IT is at full capacity, and nobody fancies turning the operation upside down for an AI project.

Rarely where the adverts point. The quickest wins are almost always inside the company:

• Processes nobody has questioned in years that still cost a lot of manual work
• Data that gets collected and never looked at again
• Quotes, reports and documents written from scratch every single time
• Software and prototypes that AI gets standing in days rather than months

We use AI ourselves every working day, for data analysis, prototyping, automation and software development. So we know fairly precisely where it shines and where it just makes noise.

Listen, think, build, learn. We talk to your people and, where it fits, to your customers. From that we pick the ideas with the best ratio of effort to benefit. Then we build the quickest workable solution and put it in front of real people. What real use shows decides the next round, not a concept paper.

We suggest first steps you can take this quarter, not next year.

AI in a company also means: which data goes where, who has access, and what GDPR has to say about it. We sort that out from the start, not afterwards. Compliance and security are part of the craft.
