AI is moving too quickly for most leaders to become experts in every new development – nor should they need to.
What matters is having someone you trust to turn to when a question arises, when a new possibility appears, when someone proposes an AI initiative, or when you simply want to know, “Does this actually make sense for us?”
That is the role of an AI Advisor.
My focus is not on chasing whichever tool is receiving attention this week. It is on helping you think clearly about the bigger picture – your people, your business, the decisions being made, the risks involved, the capability required, and where human judgment still matters.
The value is knowing you have an experienced AI advisor you can turn to when you need one.
What you get
Experienced, independent thinking applied to your specific situation.
- A knowledgeable perspective on the AI decision or challenge in front of you
- Questions that help uncover assumptions, gaps, risks, and implications that may have been missed
- A people-first view of AI adoption, capability, confidence, judgment, and responsibility
- Practical guidance on what deserves attention now, what can potentially wait, and what may not be worth doing at all
- Recommendations designed around your organization rather than around a particular technology vendor or platform
Why this perspective is different
My focus has always been people.
I bring more than thirty years of consulting, training, and coaching experience across a wide range of industries, together with more than a decade of hands-on involvement with AI.
That combination means I am interested in much more than what AI can technically do. I am interested in whether the people using it understand it, whether they know when to question it, whether the organization has the judgment and capability to use it well, and whether the decisions being made around it make sense in the first place.
The tools will keep changing. Those questions will remain.
Ways to work together
Different questions require different levels of input.
Focused AI Advisory
One specific question or decision.
For something specific that you want to think through with someone who understands both AI and the human and organizational implications surrounding it.
You receive:
- A short email briefing and questionnaire before we meet
- A private 60-minute advisory conversation
- Independent examination of the issue from business, people, risk, capability, and AI perspectives
- My recommendations on what I believe are your next practical steps
Ongoing AI Advisory – .✨ availability strictly limited
Your dedicated AI Advisor who knows you, knows your company, and can support and guide.
For leaders and organizations that want an informed external perspective available as AI decisions, proposals, concerns, and opportunities arise.
The relationship can include:
- Regular private advisory conversations
- Review of AI proposals, initiatives, policies, recommendations, or internal thinking
- A second perspective before important decisions are made
- Discussion of new developments where you need to understand the implications rather than simply the technology
- Continuity of context, so each conversation begins further down the road
What might we discuss?
The questions underneath the technology.
- Where can AI genuinely improve what we do?
- Where should we not be using it?
- Are our people sufficiently AI literate to use it responsibly and effectively?
- What are people delegating to AI that they should still be responsible for?
- How do we distinguish genuine productivity from simply doing more things faster?
- What skills and judgment will our people need regardless of which AI tools survive?
- Are we solving a real business problem or simply reacting to AI because everyone else is?
- What are we not thinking about yet?
A useful distinction
What I do not do.
- A key advantage of my advisory role is that I am not tied to any particular technology. I no longer build AI applications or software, provide technical systems integration, or sell or represent any AI ‘tools’ platforms. That means my advice is not shaped by a product I need you to buy, a system I want you to implement, or whichever new tool happens to be attracting attention this week. My focus is on helping you determine what actually makes sense for your business, your people, and your objectives – because using more AI is not necessarily the same thing as using AI well.
Today’s tool will become tomorrow’s old news.
The ability to think clearly about AI will remain valuable.
