AI consulting
AI consulting that turns ideas into results
Most businesses know AI matters but not where to start, which tools to trust, or how to make it stick. I help leadership teams find the use cases that genuinely pay off, build a practical roadmap, set sensible guardrails, and design agentic AI solutions that automate whole workflows with people kept in control.
What's included
How I can help
AI strategy and use-case discovery
Workshops to find where AI saves time or improves quality, scored on value and ease so you start in the right place.
A practical AI roadmap
A 12-month plan covering foundations, skills, quick wins and agents, quarter by quarter, with clear owners.
Guardrails and governance
A one-page AI policy: approved tools, data rules, when a person must check the output, and who is accountable.
Agentic AI solutions
AI agents that handle multi-step work such as invoice processing or reconciliations, with a human approving the exceptions.
Microsoft 365 Copilot and Claude rollout
Choosing and setting up the right tools, connected to where your work already lives.
Measuring the value
Before-and-after measures of time saved and quality, so the benefit is visible.
Examples
The kind of work involved
Slides and dashboards marked "illustrative" show the kind of work involved; client deliverables stay confidential.
Frequently asked questions
What does an AI consultant do?
An AI consultant helps a business decide where AI will add real value, which tools to use, and how to roll them out safely. That usually means identifying and prioritising use cases, building a roadmap, setting guardrails, training people and, where it makes sense, designing automations or AI agents.
Where should a business start with AI?
Start with repetitive, text-heavy tasks such as email, meeting notes, reports and document drafting, because they are quick wins. Agree simple rules on which tools and data can be used, run a small pilot, measure the time saved, then scale what works.
What is agentic AI?
Agentic AI means AI that can carry out multi-step tasks rather than just answer questions. For example, an agent can read supplier invoices, match them to orders and prepare them for posting, while a person reviews the exceptions. Good agent design includes clear limits, audit trails and human approval for anything that matters.
Is it safe to use AI with company data?
Yes, with the right set-up. Business versions of tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot and Claude keep your data within agreed boundaries. The key is clear guidance on what data can be used, keeping sensitive information protected, and checking outputs before relying on them.
Do you only work with large companies?
No. I work with small local businesses, professional services firms, corporate teams and finance functions. The approach scales: a small business might need a half-day workshop and a simple plan, a larger organisation a full roadmap and rollout.
