You do not need another department to get started.
You need a workable way to improve a slow process, make use of the information you already have, or understand what changing economic conditions mean for the plan.
I work with owners and leadership teams on those questions, from the initial analysis to setting up a workflow and helping people use it.
Common starting points
Where should we use AI?
Find a worthwhile task, choose tools, and build a workflow your team can use.
What does the economy change for us?
Connect demand, wages, interest rates, and competition to pricing, hiring, and expansion decisions.
Is this the right use of capital?
Compare the economic case for an investment or expansion with the alternatives and the cash it will require.
