Helping mid-to-large businesses cut through AI hype to make smart, risk-aware adoption decisions

Areas of expertise

I help medium and large businesses cut through the AI hype and make clear-headed decisions about where artificial intelligence actually belongs in their operations.

  • Pressure from leadership to adopt AI without a grounded cost-benefit analysis
  • Vendor claims that sound compelling but lack scrutiny from someone who knows the technology
  • Uncertainty about where AI introduces unacceptable risk into critical process flows
  • Internal teams lacking the experience to challenge AI proposals effectively
  • Investments in AI pilots that deliver no measurable business outcome

I bring hard-won technical experience to the table so my clients know exactly what they are buying - and what they are not.

About Me

I help medium and large businesses cut through AI hype and make clear-eyed decisions about deploying AI in their operations.

My focus is the business case - costs, risks, and real returns - not the technology stack. You leave our work together with a practical view of where AI genuinely adds value in your processes and where it does not.

I bring a sceptic's eye shaped by vendor pitches I have seen fail, so you avoid expensive missteps and build confidence in the decisions you make. Over 3 years evaluating AI through a pure business lens, building an AI platform for the ageing services sector, and advising a fast-scaling renewables business on AI adoption.

Behind that, 25 years managing complex technology programmes - ERP, outsourcing, solution architecture, and P&L - across multiple geographies and major tech services firms.

Common Questions

I help medium and large businesses cut through AI vendor hype to make grounded, risk-aware decisions about where and how AI actually fits into their operations — without getting burned by overpromised technology.

This is a good fit for business leaders and decision-makers in mid-to-large organisations who are under pressure to adopt AI but want a clear-eyed view of the costs, risks, and realistic returns before committing.

I evaluate AI through a business lens, not a technology one. With over 25 years in programme management across ERP and outsourcing, plus three years building and applying AI in real commercial contexts, I know what vendors won't tell you.

A practical, honest cost-benefit-risk assessment of AI in your specific context, a clearer view of where AI genuinely adds value versus where it creates unnecessary exposure, and the confidence to make decisions without being led by hype.

Engagements are scoped around a specific decision or assessment. I work directly with leadership to diagnose the situation, stress-test vendor claims, and build a view that your team can act on with confidence.
