Who's behind it

Led by John Duffield.

20+ years in marketing, technology, and AI — most recently SVP of Technology Experience at Omnicom Health, leading AI work for brands like Hilton, Novartis, and Merck. After major heart surgery, John used AI all through his own recovery — so he builds these systems knowing what it's like to be the person on the other side of them.

Sound familiar?

If any of this sounds like you,
you're who we help.

Most companies we work with arrive stuck in one of these spots — and it's rarely a technology problem. (84% of failed AI efforts come down to people and leadership, not the tech.)

If you've got the AI tools but no strategy tying them together, you're who we help — anywhere from 50 to a few thousand people. At that point, size matters less than the will to actually move.

You don't need more AI tools. You need someone who's done this — and can help you make it stick across your team.

Tools bought, barely used

You've licensed the tools — but day-to-day adoption is low, and no one's quite sure what's working and what isn't.

Everyone's doing their own thing

Each team is running its own AI experiment. Nothing connects, the lessons don't carry over, and the payoff is hard to point to.

The pilot worked, then it stalled

You proved AI can help. But it never spread beyond the pilot into how the company actually runs day to day.

"Buying AI is easy. Getting your people to actually use it is the hard part — and that's the part we do."
What you walk away with

Real things you can use — not a slide deck.

Both The AI State of Play and AI in 30 end in finished work you own — never a slide deck. Here's the kind of thing you get, across the three areas we focus on.

01

Find where AI helps

  • A ranked map of where AI saves the most time and money
  • Your top opportunities written up in detail
  • A 90-day plan with owners and milestones
02

Train your team

  • Hands-on sessions built around your real work
  • Prompt playbooks your team keeps and reuses
  • Plain-English AI rules everyone can follow
03

Build it in

  • Your real workflows redesigned with AI in the loop
  • Automation implementation inside your organization
  • A simple way to measure what's working
