Most businesses know AI is going to change the way they operate. The difficult part is knowing where to start, what is worth doing, what is technically possible, and how much to invest.
I help businesses move from AI interest to practical implementation. Start with a simple review, move into focused automation projects, or develop a wider AI transformation programme.
You do not need to work through every step. Start with clarity, bring your team together, or go straight to a defined implementation.
Not sure where to start?
I independently review your processes, systems and manual work, and provide a written AI & Automation Roadmap, practical priorities and indicative costs.

Work directly with Matthew Hutchings as your Fractional AI Director in the UK: ongoing AI strategy, adoption priorities, supplier decisions and technical oversight.

My objective is to identify the strongest opportunities for AI, automation and better technology across the business.
A written AI & Automation Roadmap outlining:
An independent, practical plan for where AI and technology could improve your business. You are under no obligation to ask me to carry out the implementation.
I run the AI Quick Wins Workshop for leadership teams that know they should be exploring AI but do not want to spend months discussing strategy before doing anything.
I bring together the people who understand how the business really operates and work with them to identify practical AI and automation opportunities.
This is an opportunity-discovery workshop, not a generic AI training course or certification. The aim is to agree useful next steps for your actual processes, rather than teach a standard set of prompts.
How much time, cost or friction could be removed?
How difficult would the solution be to implement?
How quickly could it start delivering value?
Find the AI opportunities worth acting on now.
I agree scope and price with you before work starts, and discuss software subscriptions and ongoing running costs separately where relevant.
Explore AI Quick Wins Workshop ↗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.
Examples could include:
I work with you to understand the existing process, systems and requirements.
I determine the best technical approach.
I create the automation or workflow.
Where appropriate, I connect it with your existing systems.
I test the process against real-world scenarios.
Your team receives documentation and guidance on using the new workflow.
Not months of consultancy. Not a 50-page strategy document. One real business process improved and working within a focused delivery window.
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.
Explore 10-Day Automation Sprint ↗I run the 90-Day AI Transformation programme for organisations that want to move beyond individual AI tools and start changing how the business actually operates.
Over 90 days, I identify the strongest opportunities, implement initial improvements and create the foundations for longer-term AI adoption.
I examine the following to create a prioritised AI and automation roadmap:
I begin delivering high-value opportunities. Rather than attempting to transform everything at once, I focus on projects that can demonstrate meaningful value quickly. These may include:
Once the initial systems are operating, I create a longer-term implementation plan. This can include:
My objective is not simply to introduce AI. It is to help you start building a business that can continuously take advantage of improving technology.
I agree programme scope, delivery milestones and your team’s involvement with you before the 90-day programme begins. I agree scope and price with you before work starts, and discuss software subscriptions and ongoing running costs separately where relevant.
Explore 90-Day AI Transformation ↗AI is moving too quickly for most businesses to make one technology decision and forget about it. New models, products, platforms and capabilities are appearing continuously.
At the same time, businesses need someone who understands their operations, systems and commercial priorities well enough to separate genuine opportunities from hype.
As your Fractional AI Director, I provide ongoing strategic and technical leadership. I can also regularly review the business to identify new opportunities as AI capabilities improve.
Instead of making isolated technology decisions, you have an experienced technical partner who understands the business and helps guide its AI development over time.
You gain access to senior AI and technology expertise without the cost or commitment of hiring a full-time CTO, CIO or Head of AI.
I agree scope and price with you before work starts, and discuss software subscriptions and ongoing running costs separately where relevant.
A Fractional AI Director focuses on AI priorities, adoption, vendor decisions and governance. If you need wider engineering leadership, architecture and software delivery direction, explore fractional CTO and technical leadership support. We agree the responsibilities around your business, rather than treating the two roles as interchangeable.
