Home/For ops & compliance teams
For ops- & compliance-heavy teamsAI that fits real operations — and the rules.
95% of AI pilots stall. In transport, logistics and professional services, the stakes are higher — get it wrong and it's not just wasted money, it's risk. I help you become the 5%: a clear, de-risked AI roadmap from someone who's actually run regulated operations.
The real problem
Why your AI pilots keep stalling.
Chasing the model
Effort goes into the shiny tool, not the broken process around it — so nothing actually changes.
Compliance as an afterthought
Pilots ignore the data, privacy and regulatory reality — then die the moment they meet it.
No one to own it
You can't justify a full-time Chief AI Officer, so AI gets squeezed in around everyone's day job.
Fractional AI advisor
Senior AI judgement, without the full-time hire.
You get an experienced operator who's lived in compliance-heavy environments — NHVR, Chain of Responsibility, fatigue management, safety documentation — guiding your AI properly.
Strategy that gets built, not shelved. De-hyped tool decisions. Guardrails by default. And plain-English updates your board can actually follow.
Questions
AI in regulated operations, answered.
Why do most AI projects fail in operations-heavy businesses?
Around 95% of corporate AI pilots deliver no measurable return — usually because they chase a clever model instead of fixing the broken process around it, and because they ignore the operational and compliance reality the work lives in. Starting from the real workflow, with guardrails built in, is what gets a pilot into production.
What does a fractional AI advisor cost?
A fractional AI advisor gives you senior AI judgement for a fraction of a full-time hire. It's typically an ongoing monthly engagement scoped to your needs, far below the cost of a permanent Chief AI Officer. You'll agree the scope and price before anything starts.
Can AI be used safely in a compliance-heavy industry?
Yes — with the right guardrails. That means keeping data private and under your control, being deliberate about what's automated, and building systems you can audit and switch off. My background is in regulated operations, so compliance is the starting point, not an afterthought.
How do we build an AI strategy for a regulated business?
Start with a prioritised roadmap of real, high-ROI use cases, each checked against your data, privacy and compliance obligations. Prove one in production, measure it, then scale. Avoid big-bang strategies and tools bought on hype.
