The idea

Strategy From Someone Who's Actually Built It

Most AI advice comes from people who've read about it. This is 1:1 time with someone who has built AI communities inside government and the NHS, and now runs her own business on AI agents day to day.

This is for you if…

You're the one being asked "what's our AI strategy?" and don't yet have a confident answer
You want a sounding board who has actually built and shipped AI systems, not just consulted on them
You need help sequencing tool selection, governance and rollout — not just picking a tool
Bringing your team with you matters as much as the technology itself

What we work through together

Tool and vendor selection, matched to your workflows and budget
Governance and policy — what "responsible AI use" actually looks like for your organisation
Agent and automation adoption — where to start, and where not to
Change management — bringing your team along, not just announcing a decision

Structure

How Advisory Works

Step 1

Diagnose

A first conversation to understand where your organisation actually is with AI — not where you feel you should be.

Step 2

Advise

Direct, practical guidance on tools, governance and sequencing — grounded in what's actually been built and shipped elsewhere.

Step 3

Support

Ongoing access as decisions get made and rolled out, so strategy doesn't stall the moment the first conversation ends.
