Advisory

Strategic AI Advisory

Ongoing counsel for leaders navigating AI decisions with real stakes. I work alongside you, not above you.

How It Works

Doug works alongside leadership teams as a strategic advisor — not above them, not from a slide deck. He brings operator experience and AI expertise to the decisions that matter.

AI Readiness Assessment

Understand where your organization stands today and what’s realistic to achieve with AI given your team, data, and operations.

Strategy Development

Build an AI roadmap aligned to your business goals — not a vendor’s product roadmap.

Vendor Evaluation

Cut through the noise. Get honest guidance on which tools and platforms actually fit your needs.

Implementation Oversight

Stay involved through execution to make sure what gets built matches what was planned.

Team Education

Help your people understand AI well enough to use it, evaluate it, and advocate for the right solutions.

Ongoing Strategic Counsel

A trusted advisor you can call when new AI decisions arise — not just during a formal engagement.

What Makes This Different

“I don’t sell software. I don’t have vendor partnerships. My only incentive is helping you make the right decision for your business.”

— Doug Simpson
