Human-first AI adoption — without the hype

Practical, plain-English AI and automation support for SMEs. We focus on real workflow outcomes while people stay in control, with sensible guardrails and human oversight.

How it works

I don’t start with tools or big programmes.

I start with a short conversation, decide if there’s real value, and only go further if you choose to.

Step 1 — 30-Minute AI Fit Intro (free)

A short, focused call to understand where time is being lost and whether AI or automation could realistically help.

What we do:

  • Identify your main time-consuming tasks and bottlenecks

  • Sense-check automation vs generative AI vs “not worth doing yet”

  • Agree guardrails (human review, risk boundaries)

Outcome:

  • You receive a short written recommendation within 2–3 working days.

  • If it doesn’t look worthwhile, we stop here.

Decision point:

  • After you’ve reviewed the recommendation, you decide whether to go any further.

  • There is no obligation to continue.

Step 2 — Workflow Triage (paid, 90 minutes)

Only if you decide it’s worth going deeper, we focus on one workflow and map it properly.

What you get:

  • A clear view of the current workflow and where time is being lost

  • A safer “improved” version using automation and/or generative AI assistance

  • Defined guardrails (what stays human-reviewed)

  • Ranked quick wins and a simple next-step plan

Outcome:

A one-page plan you can act on immediately, whether you implement it yourself or get support.

Step 3 — Audit or Strategy Blueprint (optional)

Only for teams that want to scale improvements across multiple workflows.

This looks at:

  • multiple processes

  • prioritisation and sequencing

  • governance, training, and adoption

  • This step is optional and only discussed if Step 2 proves there’s enough value to justify it.

What this is — and isn’t

This is:

  • Practical, low-risk guidance

  • Human-first use of automation and generative AI

  • Clear steps and clear stop points

This isn’t:

  • AI “transformation theatre”

  • Autonomous systems making decisions

  • Pressure to buy tools or continue beyond what makes sense
