Data strategy
and AI advisory
at board level.
You know AI and data should be doing more for your business — but knowing where to start and what's realistic is a different question. We give you a clear strategy, a practical plan, and the expertise to make it happen — without hiring a full-time CTO or Chief Data Officer.
Board-level expertise. No full-time hire.
Fractional Chief Data Officer
Board-level data leadership without the full-time salary. We attend board meetings, set the data strategy, oversee implementation, and make sure data decisions are commercially sound.
Data strategy
Where is your data? What state is it in? What's missing? What's possible? We assess the landscape and build a practical strategy: what to fix, what to build, what to prioritise, and what to ignore.
AI readiness
Is your business ready for AI? Not the hype — the reality. What does your data look like? What processes could genuinely benefit? Where would AI make a real commercial difference vs. where it's just noise? We give you the honest answer.
Technology advisory
Build or buy? Which tools? What architecture? We advise on the technology decisions that affect your business without selling you a product.
This is for you if:
You know data and AI should be doing more but don't know where to start.
You need board-level data expertise but can't justify a full-time Chief Data Officer.
You're about to invest in technology and want independent advice first.
You've been burned by a tool or implementation that didn't deliver.
You want a practical plan, not a 60-page strategy document that sits in a drawer.
Strategy clients often become build clients.
A clear strategy changes the conversation. Instead of guessing what AI could do for your business, you'll know exactly what's worth building, what it costs, and what to do first. If you want us to build what comes out of it, we can. But the strategy is valuable on its own — and it's yours regardless.
Common questions.
A fractional Chief Data Officer provides board-level data leadership on a part-time basis. We attend board meetings, set the data strategy, advise on technology decisions, oversee implementation, and make sure data decisions are commercially sound. All the expertise of a full-time Chief Data Officer, without the full-time salary.
Strategy and advisory projects are priced on a fixed-fee basis depending on scope. Fractional Chief Data Officer engagements are structured around what your business needs. We'll give you a clear number after the first conversation.
No. The strategy stands on its own. If you want us to build what comes out of it, we can. But there's no obligation and no pressure. Some clients take the strategy and execute internally or with another partner. The work is valuable regardless.
We look at your data, your processes, and your business model and give you an honest answer about where AI would genuinely make a commercial difference versus where it's just hype. Not every process benefits from AI. We tell you which ones do, what it would take, and what to prioritise.
That's common. Most strategy documents are written by consultancies that don't build anything. They're theoretical, generic, and disconnected from what's actually possible. We write strategies that are practical, specific, and actionable — because we know what it takes to implement them.
We build things. Management consultancies produce recommendations and leave. We produce a strategy you can act on, and if you want the thing built, we build it. Our strategies are grounded in what's technically possible and commercially viable, not theoretical frameworks.
Yes. Technology advisory is part of what we do. Build or buy? Which platform? What architecture? We advise on the technology decisions that affect your business without selling you a product. Independent advice, no vendor kickbacks.
