For boards: AI and strategy

For boards under pressure to adopt AI who would rather know before they spend.

AI & Strategy

You leave with one decision instead of a list of options: what we do this year, what we deliberately do not, and how we will know it worked.

  • Two hours with your board: where you actually stand, and what follows from it.AIM6™ Executive Briefing · 2 hrs
  • A full assessment in 4–6 weeks, ending in a plan: what to do, in what order, at what cost.AIM6™ Assessment Pro
  • A part-time AI chief — boardroom experience without a permanent hire.Fractional CAIO

Case examples

Three sizes of company, three different first steps.

A company setting prices in spreadsheets. A manufacturer whose board had reached a turning point. A listed company with nine systems, each telling a different story. See which one looks like your situation — the first step was different in every case. Client names are left out on purpose.

Prices and margins from a single source of truth

Prices set in spreadsheets, margin known after the fact, four pricing roles with no shared data. The board wanted pricing decisions based on numbers, not instinct.

First step
A paid diagnosis and a data model built from scratch
What was built
A data platform on Microsoft Fabric (Direct Lake), a pricing engine, 112 measures, pricing roles captured in architecture decision records
My role
Solution architect and program lead, two phases in six months

Transforming production management

Falling margins, an ERP used everywhere except production, no bills of materials. The board did not need a system. It needed a new way of running the company.

First step
A production expert review and implementation analysis before anyone said “system”
What was built
Production re-implemented in the ERP, a new company strategy and margin strategy, BOMs, an organizational structure refined over four iterations, departmental cost analyses
My role
Transformation lead and advisor to the board for the whole change

A data warehouse on Azure: from team to go-live

A legacy warehouse inherited from two previous vendors, a new ERP, nine source systems and dozens of operational reports the business uses daily. There was no team.

First step
Recruit the team and set the architecture before the first pipeline ran
What was built
A Bronze / Silver / Gold lakehouse (Data Factory, Databricks), 9 sources in one model, Power BI semantic models, QA and PROD environments with CI/CD
My role
Data Delivery Manager and Solution Manager; I selected and recruited the team myself
~1 million
