AI consulting, software and implementation
Make AI work for your business. Change how the work gets done.
We help medium and large firms change how they organise, govern and measure work as they adopt AI. Our Forward Deployed Builders work alongside your teams to decide what to change, build it and measure the value delivered. Our engineers install software that guides your teams and shows whether those changes deliver value.
We start with a thirty-minute conversation, or we can show you the software running.
Where we can help
- “We have AI use cases, but no agreed way to choose which ones to fund.”
- “Our teams are building, but we cannot show what value AI is delivering.”
- “Approvals, ownership and risk decisions are holding the work back.”
These are questions about your operating model: who does the work, who decides, how it is funded and how you know it is working. We help you change those arrangements and test them on real work.
How we can help
Forward Deployed Builders
We build with you, from choosing the use case to putting it to work and measuring its value. Workshops help us agree priorities and decisions. We do not ship slide decks.
Software for your teams
Put agreed practices into daily work. Our software guides teams, checks their work and records responsibilities, decisions, costs and results. Leaders can compare proposed changes before putting them into practice.
Engineers to put it to work
We install the software in your environment, adapt the practices to your firm and help each team run it for itself. The data it records stays inside your firm.
The advice sets the direction. The software checks what happens as teams build. Our builders and engineers help you use that evidence to decide what changes next. You can buy our consulting without the software. We agree with you which parts the engagement needs before the work begins.
See what a leader can act on
This illustration comes from our fictitious building society, Calderbank. It demonstrates the product; it does not report a customer result.
Two teams are working on mortgage arrears. Each records a different person as the owner of the same business process. The software makes that disagreement visible, with the teams involved and the date it was raised. The sponsor can then decide who is accountable.
Start with one team, or with the whole organisation
You may already have a use case that is held up by an approval, or teams that are building without a clear way to show the value of their work. We can start there. If the question concerns the whole organisation, we work with you to choose the first teams and agree what they need to learn. The work produces evidence for your next decision: what changed, what it cost, and what to do next.
Choose where to start
Tell us about a use case, a blocker or a question about your AI strategy. We agree the question to answer, the people needed and what evidence would be useful.
Put the change into practice
We work with your leaders and teams to agree responsibilities and practices, install the software where needed and test the approach on your own work.
Decide what to do next
Review what changed, what it cost and what remains uncertain. Use that evidence to adjust the approach or extend it to more teams.
For the leader of a team, the starting point can be one use case or one blocked decision. For an organisation, it can be strategy, a review of current practices and the selection of the first teams. Find a workshop for your starting point →
Experience of changing how large firms work
Our founder brings thirty years of technology leadership at HSBC, Scotiabank, Schroders and Chef. That experience includes global technology operations, building a platform company inside a bank, and AI adoption in financial services.
The work taught a consistent lesson: new technology needs changes to ownership, approvals, funding and the way teams operate. That is the part we help you change.
The method behind the work
Our software uses Agent Skills across nine disciplines to guide teams and check agreed practices. The results build a current record of how your organisation works. A simulator uses a copy of that record to compare possible changes under stated assumptions.
