Four ways to work together
Every engagement is scoped to the decision in front of you after a first conversation. The expertise is the same in each; what changes is the shape.
Board and committee advisory
For Board and committee chairs, and the executives who report to them.
Independent advice on digital strategy, data and AI, including the security and privacy risks that come with them, for directors and for the management teams who brief them. We help boards ask sharper questions and help management bring clearer answers.
- Board materials that are crisp, decision-ready, and focused on what directors need to oversee
- AI and technology governance frameworks and charters the board can actually use
- Sharper questions from directors, and more confident answers from management
- A shared view of digital risk and opportunity across the board and the leadership team
Ongoing, aligned to your board calendar.
Founder advisory retainer
For Founders and CEOs scaling past their first product and first team.
A senior sounding board for the decisions that shape the next stage of the company: the product portfolio, the AI roadmap, the leadership team, and how you show up to your board and investors.
- A product portfolio focused on the bets that will matter at scale
- An AI roadmap built into the product, not bolted on
- A leadership team ready for the next stage, with the right product and digital leaders in place
- Board meetings and investor updates that build confidence rather than raise questions
Ongoing, on a monthly cadence.
Strategy sprint
For Leadership teams facing one consequential decision.
A fixed-scope engagement that ends in a clear recommendation on the product, experience or AI decision in front of you. Typical questions: where AI belongs in your product, whether to rebuild or buy a platform, how to redesign an experience that is costing you customers.
- A clear recommendation, with the reasoning, risks and trade-offs laid out
- Alignment across the leadership team on what to do and why
- Product and AI priorities focused on what customers and the business need most
- A plan the board can approve and the team can run
Fixed scope and timeline, agreed before we begin.
Board education and keynotes
For Boards, executive offsites, associations and conferences.
Sessions that make digital, data and AI legible to directors and senior leaders, without the hype. Practical, candid and grounded in what real oversight requires.
- Directors who oversee AI and technology with confidence rather than deference
- A shared language for digital risk and opportunity across the board and leadership team
- Offsites that end in decisions, not just discussion
- Leaders who return to their own boardrooms with practical questions to ask
A single session or a series.
From first conversation to a decision you can act on.
Conversation
We start with the decision in front of you, not a pitch.
Diagnosis
We listen to your leaders, review the evidence and identify the choices that will shape what comes next.
Recommendation
One clear answer, with the reasoning, the risks and the cost.
Follow-through
We stay close as an advisor while your team turns the decision into a plan and the plan into progress.
We are candid about who we serve best.
A strong fit if
- You want a senior advisor, not a large team.
- You want clarity, not a report.
- You answer to a board, or you are the board.
Not the right fit if
- You need a firm to implement software or staff a project.
- You are looking for validation of a decision already made.
- You want a standard playbook rather than advice shaped to your situation.
