We're not ready for AI implementation

That's exactly why 74% of companies struggle to scale AI value. My IMPACT Assessment identifies where you ARE ready to start - we begin with quick wins that build confidence and capability. Waiting means watching competitors gain unrecoverable advantages.

How do we know this will work for our specific business?

The IMPACT Assessment is specifically designed to identify solutions for YOUR unique challenges. We start with a day at your business, mapping your actual processes and pain points. No generic solutions - everything is tailored to your company's needs.

What if the technology doesn't deliver promised results?

We track performance analytics throughout the process. Weekly meetings ensure we're hitting targets and can pivot quickly if needed. The IMPACT framework includes continuous improvement - we optimise as we go, not just implement and hope.

Our team might resist AI adoption

Change management is built into my IMPACT framework. We start with high-impact, low-friction implementations that demonstrate clear value. When your team sees immediate benefits, adoption becomes enthusiasm rather than resistance.

Can't we just use off-the-shelf AI tools?

Generic tools are why most companies fail to scale AI value. Your competitive advantage comes from custom solutions that address your specific workflows. We evaluate both custom and off-the-shelf options to find the optimal mix for your business.

How much does AI consulting cost in the UK?

AI consulting costs vary widely, typically £150-500 per hour for independent consultants. However, we focus on guaranteed ROI - our AI Audit comes with a £50K+ savings guarantee, meaning the audit pays for itself many times over. Most clients see 300-500% ROI within 12 months.

What's the ROI of AI implementation for small businesses?

Small businesses typically see 200-400% ROI from properly implemented AI solutions within the first year. Our clients average £50K+ in annual savings through process automation, efficiency gains, and reduced manual work. The key is strategic implementation rather than random tool adoption.

How to choose an AI consultant?

Look for proven methodologies, specific guarantees, and implementation focus rather than just advice. Avoid consultants who promise magic or sell generic solutions. The best AI consultants offer money-back guarantees and demonstrate clear understanding of your industry challenges.

How long does AI implementation take?

Implementation timelines depend on scope and complexity. Simple automation can be deployed in 2-4 weeks. Comprehensive AI transformation typically takes 3-6 months. Our IMPACT framework ensures phased delivery with quick wins in the first 30 days to demonstrate value early.

What industries benefit most from AI?

All industries can benefit from AI, but those with repetitive processes see the biggest gains: professional services, e-commerce, manufacturing, recruitment, and marketing agencies. The key is identifying which processes are suitable for automation within your specific business model.

Common AI implementation mistakes

The biggest mistakes are: starting with complex solutions instead of simple wins, buying tools without understanding workflows, ignoring change management, and lacking clear success metrics. Our IMPACT framework specifically avoids these pitfalls through systematic analysis and phased implementation.

Best AI consultant UK

The best AI consultants combine technical expertise with business acumen and offer concrete guarantees. Look for consultants with the IMPACT methodology, proven track records, and money-back guarantees. Avoid those who sell AI hype without demonstrating real business understanding.

What does AI advisory support include?

AI advisory support includes monthly strategic coaching sessions, ongoing project assistance, market intelligence reports, technology trend analysis, vendor evaluation support, and access to competitive insights across multiple industries.

How is this different from one-off consulting?

Unlike one-off consulting, AI advisory provides ongoing strategic partnership with continuous support as your AI initiatives evolve. You get real-time assistance when challenges arise, regular updates on market trends, and adaptive strategy as the AI landscape changes.

What's the investment for advisory services?

Advisory partnerships are structured as monthly retainers tailored to your business size and needs. Contact us for a detailed discussion about investment levels and what's included in each tier of support.

How quickly will we see results from advisory support?

Most clients see immediate value in the first strategy session through clarified direction and avoided mistakes. Competitive advantages typically become apparent within 3-6 months as strategic initiatives gain momentum.

Do you work with businesses outside the UK?

Yes, while we're UK-based, we work with businesses globally. Our advisory services are delivered remotely with regular video sessions, making geography irrelevant for strategic support.
