Advisory.

Four ways to work together. Each one ends with something your team can run after I leave.

  • flat or capped price
  • never hourly
  • NDA-first
  • free intake call

Executive session design + facilitation

one session · 3–4 weeks of prep · fixed price

Twelve senior people arrive with twelve definitions of the problem. My job is getting that room to one decision they will still defend on Monday. I run these for MMA's CMO AI Transformation Summit, the CEO + CMO Summit, and the AI Leadership Think Tank. Here is the method, so you can judge it before you buy it.

  1. Interviews first

    Thirty minutes with every participant, hunting the disagreement that actually matters.

  2. One answerable question

    Not "what should we do about AI." Something like "what are we willing to let an agent do without us."

  3. Evidence pre-read

    Six pages, 72 hours ahead: what we know, what the experiments show, what others already abandoned.

  4. Something that runs

    A live agent or prototype in the room. Ideas that only work in slides die on contact.

  5. Forced choices

    A ranked shortlist, named owners, one thing killed, one experiment worth running.

  6. Memo in 72 hours

    Decisions, owners, dates, and the dissent, attributed. It usually turns out to be right about something.

example · 90 minutes

What are we willing to let an agent do without us?

  • 0:00 The three hardest findings from the pre-read. Not a recap.
  • 0:10 Where this group disagrees, read back from the interviews, unattributed.
  • 0:30 The thing that runs, including where it fails.
  • 0:45 Draw the line: autonomous, human-reviewed, off-limits.
  • 1:15 One experiment, one owner, one date, one thing we stop doing.

you leave with

  • ✓ A written pre-read, evidence not slideware
  • ✓ Facilitation on the day
  • ✓ A working prototype where it helps
  • ✓ Decision memo inside 72 hours
  • ✓ One experiment brief, scoped for 30 days

Fits a leadership team, board, or offsite that keeps circling the same AI question without resolving it.

how_it_works

  1. Intake call

    Thirty minutes. Tell me the problem and I will tell you which engagement fits, or that none does.

  2. Written scope

    Deliverables, timeline, flat or capped price.

  3. Paperwork

    Your MSA and SOW. NDA first if you need it.

  4. Kickoff

    Within ten business days of signature.

what_i_bring

  • Operator, not consultant. I run the agent platform, training, and AI strategy for MMA. AI is the job, not a practice area.
  • Governance fluency. Cambridge M.St. in AI Ethics, CIPP/US. I write governance into the code, not into a PDF.
  • Open work. My skills, workflows, and eval rubrics are public. Read the code before you hire me.
  • Concrete deliverables. An assessment, a prototype, a playbook. Never a slide deck.

Not sure which fits? The intake call is free, and I will tell you if you do not need me.
