How it works
Start with the work.
Prove the return.
Your team already knows which jobs take too long. I help you pick the few where AI will make a difference you can measure.
First I time the job as it is today. Then we try a better way with the people who do it, and check the work is still right, not just quicker. You get the numbers to decide what’s worth more money, and a straight “not yet” for what isn’t.
How every engagement is measured
Quoting
- Baseline
- Today’s hours
- Target
- Up to −20%
- Measured
- After the trial
An example, not a client result. Your target is set against your own baseline.
01 · Find
Find where the time goes
I talk to the people doing the work, find the jobs they repeat every week, and time the ones worth fixing.
02 · Test
Try it on the real job
We test the best idea with the people who’ll use it, before anyone pays for a bigger build. Quicker isn’t enough: the work has to be right.
03 · Measure
Keep what pays back
We compare the result with the baseline. What pays back stays. What doesn’t gets a straight “not yet”, and the reason.

Answer four questions about your business. I’ll show you where AI could pay back first, with a real example and one small test to try.
No email needed. Ask for the full starter pack at the end if you want it.

Example resultSpend less commercial time reviewing each tender
The problem
Estimators spend hours reading every tender before they can start pricing.
The benefit to test
Less time reading, more time on pricing and commercial judgement.

Start small. Go further if it pays.
A workshop to find the priorities, six weeks to test the best one, or someone alongside you every month. Scope and price are agreed before anything starts.

AI discovery workshop
Your team puts every job they’d like done faster on the wall. Then we pick the few that pay back first.
Before the day I talk to your key people and run a short survey, so we start from your business, not a generic AI talk. You leave with a ranked list and what to do first.
Fixed price · From £25,000
Design sprint and prototype
Take the best idea, build a working version and put it in front of the people who’d use it.
Six weeks, with a focused sprint in the middle. At the end you get the evidence and my call: build it, change it or park it.

Fractional Chief AI Officer
Senior AI leadership a few days a month, without a full-time hire.
I keep your AI spend honest: which projects to back, which suppliers to trust, and what the data rules mean for you.
Examples
Start where you can prove it.
Earlier work, anonymised. It shows how I work, not AI time savings.
Global bank
Data first, app second
The brief was a workshop to design a new app. I steered it to sourcing the data first. When the data came in, it proved that was the right call.
European telecoms group
A vague idea, a clear decision
They were weighing a move into EV charging. I ran the leadership session that turned a vague idea into a decision they could act on.
Global bank
Fifty senior people, one direction
I ran the session that got them behind a single commercial banking strategy.
Foreign exchange division
Something rivals couldn’t copy
A bank rebuilding its foreign exchange service wanted an edge. I ran a design sprint on how its global reach could give it one.
Who you work with

You work with me, not a junior team. I find where AI earns its keep, prove it on your numbers, and say plainly where it doesn’t.
28 years making technology change land: five at Oracle, fourteen at Deutsche Bank and eight at Google Cloud, the last three helping businesses put AI to work.
