Focused advisory

Advisory for the decisions you cannot afford to get wrong.

Practical, scoped support for the moment your team has to work through a specific AI, decisioning, migration or delivery challenge and arrive at a position it can defend.

Advisory areas

Four areas where I do my most focused work.

01
AI opportunity and readiness
  • I identify the use cases that suit your business and its data.
  • I assess the complexity and risk of each one before anything is committed.
  • I work through the governance questions that regulated environments raise.
  • I define a practical starting point your team can act on straight away.
02
Decisioning and Pega
  • I help you understand the decisioning architecture and how it fits your wider estate.
  • I answer the CDH questions that are holding a programme up.
  • I assess the capability your team needs in order to run it well.
  • I bring business and technology teams to a shared understanding of what the decisioning is there to do.
03
Migration and transformation
  • I identify the dependencies that turn into cutover risk when nobody names them.
  • I set out the delivery risks plainly, along with their likely consequences.
  • I sharpen the decisions your programme has been struggling to make.
  • I structure the next steps so that your own team can own them.
04
AI-enabled delivery
  • I identify where AI can help in delivery, and where it cannot.
  • I develop responsible workflows with the right checkpoints built in.
  • I improve documentation and analysis without losing any rigour.
  • I keep a person accountable for every decision that matters.
What advisory is not

What the work covers, and what it does not.

Scope

Advisory is not a promise to replace your delivery team, to hand you a generic AI strategy or to make decisions without first understanding your context. The work is focused and practical, and it is limited to the areas where I can bring relevant delivery experience.

Where the need is an ongoing role rather than a scoped decision, such as an executive seat that has to be held for part of each week, fractional leadership is the better format.

Process

How an advisory engagement runs, from start to finish.

Step 01
Define the decision or problem

I state the decision or problem in a single sentence before anything else happens, so everyone is solving the same thing.

Step 02
Review the available context

I review the architecture, the constraints, the history and what has already been tried, so nothing gets recommended twice.

Step 03
Run a focused working session

I work through the problem with the people who hold the decision, rather than presenting to a wider room.

Step 04
Set out the observations and options

You receive my observations and options in writing, with the trade-offs of each one made explicit.

Step 05
Agree the next steps

The next steps are owned by your team, with or without my further involvement.

Next step

Tell me about the decision you are facing.
