An advisory practice by Tom Delaporte

Advisory for the AI revolution.

AI programs stall on people and structure far more often than on the technology. That is the part I work on: one discipline, three ways in.

Three ways in

One discipline, three practices.

Start here
Grow · Deploy · enterprise transformation consulting

AI deployment, adoption, and the reorganization that follows.

AI transformation consulting for enterprises and public-sector organizations. Every platform in the stack is switching agentic features on and billing them by the credit, so the first question is which of that spend earns its keep and which of it should run as a capped experiment with a kill date. Portfolio management for AI deployments, adoption and value realization, and the reorganization design that follows when AI changes what the work is. Three fixed-fee engagements, priced before the work starts and delivered personally.

Launch pricing · the entry point The Adoption Recovery Review: ten business days, fixed fee. Start here when the choice of engagement is not yet obvious: the stall diagnosed, the 90-day roadmap written, credited in full against an Adoption Reset started within 30 days. Assumes a 50–100 person organization, up to 3 executives leading the transformation. The launch cohort builds the case-study base. $25,000 $12,500 Fixed · 10 business days Grow with AI → Enter Grow

The adaptive challenge comes clear on foot.

Adaptability advisory for senior executives, delivered in specific landscapes from the Pacific coast to the Skyline ridge. Five frameworks name the adaptive challenge AI puts in front of your leadership, and every tier ends in the written diagnostic, delivered in 7–10 days.

The through-line

A compounding practice.

The stalled AI programs I have seen all stumbled in the same place: the seam where the AI product, the operations, and the people meet.

I have worked on each side of that seam: AI product at Eightfold AI, change consulting at Capgemini, operator-side HR across five countries. Underneath, it is one discipline.

The loop

Four turns, then it keeps turning.

Every engagement runs on the same AI-native loop, and the method is already built. Run the two instruments below and judge the work before we talk.

The delivery flywheel each turn compounds
The loop

Context in, playbooks out, the dashboard reads what lands, and the next move is chosen on that evidence. Select a quarter of the wheel.

The instruments

Two tools you can run before we ever speak.
