Technical Tools

OtherStrategy Consultant

Executive advisory: Be the senior counterpart to C-level sponsors, and frame the AI agenda rather than respond to it. Lead discovery on where AI creates value, at what scale and on what timeline.
Honest judgement: Bring an outside-in view from comparable enterprises and markets. Challenge weak assumptions and kill weak ideas early, because our clients pay for judgement, not enthusiasm.
Business cases: Build cases that survive CFO scrutiny, covering quantified value, TCO, investment profile and P&L impact. Run buy-vs-build and vendor evaluations, and support AI budgeting and portfolio prioritisation.
KPIs before code: Define KPI trees and success criteria before anything gets built, and turn them into scope so teams build what actually adds value.
Operating model: Advise on organisational structure, AI CoE design and governance. That includes the impact on roles, what happens to freed-up capacity, and who needs early warning.
Practice leadership: Own the practice's methodology and keep it ahead of the market. Set the quality bar for deliverables, and coach colleagues on strategy engagements.
Innovation & commercial: Develop new frameworks, offerings and thought leadership, and work with presales to shape proposals. There's no hard selling; the quality of your thinking does that job.

Executive presence: You can hold a boardroom and land a complex recommendation in ten minutes.
KPI-centric and rigorous: You reason in metrics, economics and trade-offs, and you can make ambiguous problems tractable.
