AI & DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION · BUILT, NOT SLIDEWARE
95% of AI projects fail. Almost none of it is the technology's fault.
Your board wants an AI answer. Your best people are quietly working around the tools you already paid for. I find where it's actually breaking, rebuild the process underneath, and get your team to trust the thing. Business problem first. Technology second.
Clients & Partners:
You built something worth scaling. Now it's stuck.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
You’re the bottleneck.
Every approval, every exception, every "let me just check" runs through you. The business can't move faster than you can answer email.
You bought the tools. Nobody uses them.
You put AI on every desk and called it adoption. Then your sharpest people quietly went back to doing the work by hand. In a survey of 3,750 workers, roughly 80% were avoiding the AI their own company handed them.
You "did AI" and got a deck.
A pilot. A press release. A bill. And not one number on your P&L moved. MIT looked at over 300 deployments and found 95% delivered zero measurable impact. You're not behind. You're stuck at the same wall as almost everyone else.
"When one of the big five firms hands you an 800-page report on how AI will change your business but spends no time inside your business, that report is worthless. Governance isn't delegated. It's yours."
THE PART NOBODY SELLS YOU
It's not the tech. It's how you bought it and how you rolled it out.
The demo impressed the buyer. The buyer isn't the user. Somebody signs a contract for a tool the people doing the actual work never touched, and everyone acts surprised when it dies in production. That gap is where AI goes to die, and it has nothing to do with the model.
BCG put real numbers on it. AI success is 10% algorithms, 20% technology and data, and 70% people and process. Most companies spend in the exact reverse order. They bolt a faster engine onto a cart with square wheels, then blame the engine.
I work the 70%. I get inside how your business actually runs, find the boring foundation that's broken, and rebuild the process before anyone picks a tool. Fix the plumbing first. Then we talk about the turbocharger.
WHAT DO I
Build the foundation. Train the team. Get out.
01 • CONSULTING
Fractional or Interim Chief Automation Officer
90 to 180 days
I embed. I find the workflows where the money is leaking, redesign them, and put AI only where it earns its keep. Developing capacity, and a team that trusts what is built.
