Where businesses lose efficiency

More technology
Too little impact

I help leaders find the causes of inefficiency, choose technology around business needs and turn investment in AI and automation into working solutions.

Don’t know where to start with AI

There are plenty of possibilities, but no clear use case or business case.

How I help

I map your processes, identify useful AI applications, estimate their impact and build a roadmap.

Software is in place, but has little impact

Teams still copy data by hand and repeat work across systems.

How I help

I review your existing software, uncover unused features and recommend changes to settings and integrations.

Processes slow the business down

Approvals stall, work depends on key people and there are no clear rules for how tasks move forward.

How I help

I map how work happens, find bottlenecks and design a better operating model before choosing technology.

Unclear which technology to choose

Vendors promote their own platforms, making it hard to compare the options for your business.

How I help

I compare technologies against your requirements, including architecture, cost and limitations, to support a sound choice.

Development consumes the budget

Projects drag on, costs grow and repeated rework still leaves the business without a usable result.

How I help

I focus on a priority use case, test a prototype quickly and plan a phased rollout.

Pilots never become part of daily work

A pilot stays separate from day-to-day work, with low adoption and no clear measure of its impact.

How I help

I support implementation, connect people and technology, train the team and help evaluate outcomes.

The solution should justify the investment

A process change, configuring software you already own or a simple integration may solve the problem faster and at a lower cost. We compare options by expected impact, cost and constraints.

Ways to work together

How I solve
these challenges

Four ways to work together, from process and software audits to a pilot and support through change.

Business process audit

+

Identify the causes of inefficient work and choose a starting point based on evidence.

  • A map of processes, time spent and bottlenecks
  • A comparison of process changes, configuration of existing software, integrations and AI
  • A prioritised improvement roadmap with estimated impact
Discuss this service ↗

Software audit and optimisation

+

When CRM, ERP/1C, electronic document management and other systems are in place, but employees still move data manually.

  • A map of existing software and integrations
  • Identification of duplication and gaps between systems
  • Recommendations on what to configure, connect or replace
Discuss this service ↗

A focused AI pilot

+

One specific use case, with clear requirements, quality criteria and metrics before and after.

  • Tool selection and data requirements
  • A pilot using real work tasks
  • Quality criteria, instructions and a plan for scaling
Discuss this service ↗

Transformation support

+

Support for changing processes, coordinating delivery and helping the team adopt new ways of working.

  • Solution selection and supplier coordination
  • Implementation and integration management
  • Monitoring impact and team adoption

How we work

Prove the value
Then scale

A baseline before implementation.
Evidence for the next decision after the pilot.

↗

Map the process

Define the task, the people involved and the software they use.

↗

Establish a baseline

Measure the time spent and define quality criteria.

↗

Choose a use case

Compare impact, complexity, cost and constraints.

↗

Test a pilot

Test one use case on real work.

↗

Put it into practice

Set up integrations, instructions and team workflows.

◎

Measure the impact

Compare before and after, then decide whether to scale.

One process — a clear workflow

AI handles the routine
People make the decisions

Take an incoming document: extract its data, run checks and prepare it for approval. The employee reviews the result and stays in control.
