03 / Deliver one useful change

What this looks like in practice.

Businesses often know where the problem is. The difficulty is finding the time and technical expertise to actually fix it.

In the 10-Day Automation Sprint, I take one defined workflow and rapidly redesign, automate or improve it.

One process worth improving

Examples could include:

  • Customer onboarding
  • Enquiry handling
  • Sales administration
  • Quotation generation
  • Document processing
  • Reporting
  • CRM updates
  • Internal approvals
  • Email processing
  • Data entry
  • Customer support
  • Information extraction
  • AI-assisted research
  • Document generation

The sprint includes

01

Discovery

I work with you to understand the existing process, systems and requirements.

02

Design

I determine the best technical approach.

03

Build

I create the automation or workflow.

04

Integration

Where appropriate, I connect it with your existing systems.

05

Testing

I test the process against real-world scenarios.

06

Handover

Your team receives documentation and guidance on using the new workflow.

The objective

Not months of consultancy. Not a 50-page strategy document. One real business process improved and working within a focused delivery window.

Discuss an automation sprint

The 10-working-day delivery window starts once scope, access and requirements are agreed. I confirm a workflow that fits the sprint with you before work begins. I agree scope and price with you before work starts, and discuss software subscriptions and ongoing running costs separately where relevant.

A simple path to AI adoption

Start where you are.
Move towards what matters.

You do not need to work through every step. Start with clarity, bring your team together, or go straight to a defined implementation.
