Business leaders across Chicago are being asked to move fast on AI. But rushing without clarity can lead to more noise than results. I work with executive teams to cut through the confusion and focus on where AI can actually create meaningful impact.
Together, we translate possibility into direction, shaping smart, people-first strategies that drive real value and set your organization apart in the AI era.
AI Strategy Consulting in Chicago, IL
A trusted partner for AI thinking that works in the real world
I don’t lead with buzzwords or pitch shiny tools. I work with Chicago-based leaders who know AI matters but want help making sense of what's real, what’s useful, and how to make it work for their business.
We start with clarity. What’s actually worth exploring? What’s aligned with your strategy and your people? From there, we shape AI direction that fits not the tech industry, but your industry. It’s not about chasing what’s new. It’s about unlocking what’s next.
Turn AI Uncertainty into Strategic Gains for Your Chicago Business
I work with executive teams in Chicago to bring structure and clarity to what often feels like fragmented AI experimentation. If any of this sounds familiar, we should talk:
You're hearing AI pitches daily, but it's unclear what actually solves real business problems.
Teams are testing tools in silos without strategy, alignment, or measurable impact.
There's energy around AI, but no shared view on where to focus or what to prioritize.
You want results, not just to be “seen” doing something with AI.
AI that works is AI with direction. I help Chicago leaders connect potential to performance, deciding where to invest, what to skip, and how to move forward with conviction.
From AI confusion to focused progress for Chicago leadership teams
I help executive teams in Chicago get past the noise and into clear decision-making. The goal isn’t to throw more tools at your people. It’s to shape AI's direction to support sharper thinking, better collaboration, and stronger business outcomes.
We move AI out of the buzzword column and into your actual business strategy.
You leave with a clear view of your top 3-5 AI priorities and a practical framework for deciding what’s worth your time, energy, and investment next.
If AI feels chaotic, it’s time to lead, not chase
In Chicago and across Illinois, I see many organizations diving into AI without first deciding what matters. A team tries a tool, a vendor offers a demo, someone kicks off a pilot, then suddenly there's movement, but no real momentum.
Leading with strategy means choosing where AI can drive the most value, aligning your people around those opportunities, and being selective about what deserves attention. That’s how you move from experimentation to advantage.
I help Chicago leaders move from urgency to clarity so AI becomes a lever, not a distraction.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does an AI strategy consultant actually do for a business like mine?
An AI strategy consultant helps you move from scattered tools and ideas to a clear, business-aligned plan. I work with Chicago-based leadership teams to identify where AI can create measurable value, align that with your goals, and develop a focused path forward, including what to pursue, what to pause, and how to lead through it with confidence.
2. We’re already using some AI tools. Do we still need an AI strategy?
Yes. Using tools without a strategy can lead to siloed efforts, unclear ROI, and wasted resources. I help Chicago organizations take stock of what’s already happening with AI, clarify what’s working, and connect it to a broader plan that drives results across the business.
3. How do I know if AI is even relevant for my industry?
You don’t need to be in tech to benefit from AI. Whether you're in professional services, healthcare, logistics, education, or nonprofit work, AI can help improve decision-making, automate low-value tasks, and enhance the work your team already does. The key is knowing where to apply it, and that’s exactly where I come in.
4. What results should we expect from AI strategy consulting?
You’ll walk away with a clear list of your top AI priorities, a custom roadmap, and a shared understanding across your leadership team. You’ll also have a framework to evaluate future opportunities, so you don’t just keep reacting to the next shiny tool. The result is better alignment, smarter investments, and stronger performance.
5. Is this about technology or leadership?
It’s both, but not in the way most think. AI strategy is less about mastering code and more about shaping direction. I help Chicago leaders become fluent enough to make informed decisions, lead AI adoption across teams, and build lasting value through human-centered strategy. You don’t need to become technical. You need to lead with clarity.
