Practical AI help for small businesses
Understand where AI could be useful, what to consider before adopting it and how to bring your team with you. Free consultations for business owners and individuals who want a clearer starting point.
Start with your business
Find a useful purpose for AI
When you run a small business, it can be difficult to decide which AI ideas are worth your attention. A useful starting point is the work itself: where time is being spent, what customers need and which decisions still require your judgement.
My consultancy focuses on the business and people questions behind AI adoption. We can explore a task or process together, consider potential uses and limitations, and decide what you need to understand before taking the next step.
Areas of support
From opportunity to an implementation plan
Responsible decisions
Discuss accuracy, confidentiality, human oversight and the questions to ask suppliers. Identify where specialist technical or legal advice may be needed.
Workforce & leadership
Help owners and managers explain proposed changes, understand staff concerns and identify learning needs. Build confidence through a shared understanding of the purpose.
Planning & evaluation
Set a realistic scope, responsibilities and measures of progress. Plan how to review a trial before deciding whether to extend it.
The perspective I bring
Teaching, research and organisational change
My teaching and programme leadership span Chartered Manager, AI Leadership and Project Management. My doctoral research explores AI, robotics and emerging technologies in healthcare, including the workforce and organisational conditions that shape adoption.
This work informs an approach centred on people, processes and informed decisions. The service is advisory: we can develop priorities and an implementation brief, while software development and ongoing technical maintenance sit outside the offer.
