Services / Consulting & Enablement / Compass

Feeling behind on AI? Start where you are.

It can feel like every competitor already has an AI plan and you're the only one who doesn't. Compass is a plain conversation about where you are, where you want to be, and the plan to get you there.

  • Fixed scope
  • Led by senior people
  • No commitment beyond it

Sound familiar

The pressure is real. The starting point isn't obvious.

Most leaders we talk with aren't short on interest in AI. They're short on a clear, honest read of what it would mean for their business.

Which of these sound like you?

  • Outside pressure

    Your board, your customers or your competitors keep asking what you're doing with AI.

  • Past pilots

    You tried a chatbot or a pilot, and nobody can say what changed.

  • Vendors

    Every vendor has an AI product to sell you. None of them asked how your business runs.

  • Your team

    Your team already uses AI tools on their own, with no shared rules for your data.

If even one of these sounds familiar, Compass is where to start. See how it works →

How Compass works

A conversation with people, not a product demo.

Compass is fixed in scope and led by senior people who sit down with yours. It runs in three parts, in this order.

  1. Part 01

    Where you are

    How does the work get done today?

    We talk with the people who do the work, not just the org chart. We look at how your processes run, which systems hold your data, and where time and money slip away.

    We look at

    • Your current processes and handoffs
    • The systems and data you already own
    • How your team uses AI today

  2. Part 02

    Where you want to be

    What would be different if this worked?

    We agree on outcomes in your terms: hours back each week, faster answers for customers, fewer re-keyed forms, decisions made on better information. AI is a means, never the goal.

    We agree on

    • Outcomes your leadership agrees on
    • The opportunities ranked by value
    • The places AI isn't worth it, named

  3. Part 03

    The plan to get there

    What do we do first, and what can wait?

    You get a prioritized plan and a rapid prototype of the idea worth the most, so you can see it working before you commit a budget.

    You get

    • What to build, buy or leave alone
    • A working prototype you can show people
    • Clear next steps, with us or without us

On the table

The questions we answer together.

Compass is built around the questions leaders actually ask, answered in plain language with your own processes and numbers in front of us.

  • Where you are

    What is the current process costing us?

  • Where you want to be

    What can we improve with the systems we have?

  • Where you want to be

    Where would AI or custom software make a difference?

  • The plan to get there

    What do we need to know before committing?

What you leave with

Something you can act on next week.

  • A clear picture of today

    Where your processes, systems and data stand, written so anyone in leadership can follow it.

  • A rapid prototype

    The highest-value idea, built far enough to put in front of your team and see whether it holds up.

  • A plan you own

    A prioritized roadmap with clear first steps. Carry it out with us, with another partner or on your own.

AI speeds the work. People stay accountable for it.

That's how we run Compass, and it's how we'd help you run whatever comes next.

Is it a fit

You know something needs to change. You haven't decided what.

Good fit when

  • You want a plan before you commit a budget.
  • Leadership needs a shared view of where AI fits, and where it doesn't.
  • You'd rather have a straight answer than a sales pitch.
  • Your most important process lives in a spreadsheet only one person understands.
  • You want help from people, with AI as one of the tools.

Your next step

A fixed-scope first step. No commitment beyond it.

Compass is the fixed-scope way in. If it isn't the right place to begin, we'll tell you in the first conversation.

YOUR NEXT DECISION

What is your business working around?

Tell us where you are with AI, where you want to be, and what's in the way. We'll start there.

Talk about Compass

Come with a problem. You don't need a specification.

The first conversation helps define the next step, whether or not that step is with us.
