The Pragmatist's Consultant

A New Firm
For A New Era

We represent a fundamentally different approach to management consulting.

 

We are dedicated to safeguarding clients from the pitfalls of inflated promises, hype-driven technology investments, and vendor conflicts of interest.

Founded on a foundation of deep AI & digital innovation expertise, combined with decades of real-world experience in management consulting, entrepreneurship, investing, and operations, we've lived through every major technology cycle since the dial-up modem - we know what works, what's vaporware, and how to tell the difference.

We work with leaders at enterprises of all sizes in sectors with high potential for disruption but a low tolerance for failure. We focus on building relationships with a select group of clients who value our expertise, independence, and commitment to results.

We are an AI-native firm that provides discerning leaders who, are navigating the most consequential technology and business model decisions of their careers with a clear-eyed, results-oriented alternative to the hype and misinformation that currently dominate the consulting industry.

In an era where major consulting firms prioritize their own revenue through vendor commissions and endless project scopes, we pledge unwavering loyalty to our clients' success, by offering transparent, outcome-based services, guaranteeing results and tying our compensation to the impact we deliver.

Our offerings address the most pressing challenges that clients face.

Numbers Don't Lie

The evidence of a broken model
can't be ignored

95%

...of AI projects fail to deliver their expected (forecasted) ROI.

70%

...of all consulting projects fail to meet their objectives.

$2.3T

...in wasted annual spend on failed digital transformation programs.

65%

...of executives say the firm they worked with did not add more value than their fees.

This isn't bad luck.

 

It's the inevitable result of a business model
with misaligned incentives.

 

We exist to change this.

From Chaos to Confidence

Unlike traditional consulting firms that treat symptoms, we build your immune system. Our offerings can stand alone or work as an integrated system.
