I spent years on the buying side of the table. Now I act as your advocate with technology vendors and help you work out where new systems and AI fit, and how the processes around them should change.
Practical guidance grounded in 31 years of technology work inside a manufacturer.
I work for you. I spent years as the executive receiving vendor pitches, so I know what a demo leaves out, and I’ll help you get the right solution on fair terms.
Find the friction points and design around them. Not every problem needs AI; sometimes the answer is a clearer process. For deeper process and productivity work, see Operations & Process Improvement.
On-site assessment of an acquired facility’s technology and operations, and a plan for folding it in, workforce included. I did this for acquisitions at Taylor Steel.
Practical support from tool selection to deployment. I stay with you through implementation, because that is where most projects drift.
I assess where new systems and AI fit in your organization and where they don't, based on how your business runs and with no product to sell you.
Policies for safe and responsible AI use, in place before employees adopt AI tools on their own.
A Guided Assessment of AI Opportunity for Your Business
One day. Tailored to your business. Honest answers. Actionable recommendations.
Specific tools and solutions matched to your actual needs, with realistic cost ranges.
I'll tell you when a spreadsheet, a clearer policy, or simpler automation is the right answer.
A prioritized sequence based on your readiness, not on what's seemingly most impressive.
Interviews, a walk through your operation, technology scan, and data reality check. I learn how your business actually operates before making any recommendations.
Tailored AI landscape session with live demonstrations. I demystify the technology and show what's realistically possible for organizations like yours.
Collaborative workshop to identify and prioritize AI opportunities. Your team is actively involved in shaping the direction.
Findings across four pillars, highlighting quick wins, strategic direction, and next steps. You leave the day with clarity, not more questions.
