The AI Orientation
One hour about where the work is piling up in your firm, what AI would change, and what it wouldn't. Then I go away and think about it. Within 48 hours you get my observations and recommendations in writing, and they're yours to keep.
A useful first hour
Most firms I meet aren't short of ideas about AI. They're short of somebody who'll tell them which of those ideas is worth starting with. So bring the situation as it is, and bring the questions with it. No tidy process map, no technical brief, no shortlist of tools.
Work is piling up in reports, proposals, follow-ups and client preparation.
You've tried AI tools before, but they never became part of how the firm works.
You need a clear first move before spending serious budget or asking the team to change.
Clients have started asking what the firm is doing with AI, and you don't have an answer you like yet.
Inside the Orientation
No slides, no discovery framework, no homework beforehand. It's a conversation, and I do most of the listening.
Bring
You show me where the time disappears, what your people keep chasing, and what you've already tried and quietly abandoned. Not the org chart, the week: what lands on Monday, what's still open on Friday, and what keeps getting pushed to the evening.
Nothing to prepare. Come as you are.Work through
We go through that work with your firm, your systems and your appetite for change in view. This is where the invoice test comes in, out loud: which of that work never reaches a bill, and which of it AI would genuinely take on.
Leave with
I tell you whether AI helps here, where it would help first, and what I'd do next if the firm were mine. Sometimes the answer is that it isn't an AI problem at all, but a process that needs fixing first. That comes up more often than you'd expect.
Online, at a time that suits.
Afterwards
The conversation is an hour. The thinking takes longer. I go away, make sense of what you've told me, and write it up. Short enough that you'll actually read it.
What I'd do first, and why that rather than the thing you were expecting.
What I'd leave alone for now, and what would have to change before it's worth revisiting.
Roughly what it would cost, so you can tell early whether this is a conversation worth continuing.
Whether a Census is the right next step for your firm, or whether it isn't.
No deck. The report is yours to do with as you wish. You can act on it with me, use it in discussions with your team, or use it to brief somebody else.
The price
You're paying for an hour of my full attention and for the work that goes in afterwards. What you get back is judgement, and some clarity on where you stand and what options are open to you.
It's your hour, so use it. Ask me anything you like, including things you might feel silly or embarrassed asking in front of others.
If you go on to a Census, the €450 is credited against its price.
It can be due to a number of reasons:
Hand AI uncertainty like that and it doesn't fix things. It just automates the mess and makes it pile up faster.
If it turns out that your firm falls into this category, we'll be clear on it in the hour. You'll still leave knowing what's standing in your way, what you need to do to get ready, and what you might do as your first AI initiative.
You bring the situation you're actually in, and I'll tell you what AI would do about it, what it wouldn't, and what I'd do first if the firm were mine.
