How to Choose an Enterprise AI Consultancy
A buyer's checklist for telling substance from hype — what to look for, the red flags, and the exact questions to ask before you sign.
A Microsoft Copilot Rollout Checklist
The step-by-step checklist for a safe, high-value Microsoft 365 Copilot rollout — the prep, governance, and adoption most rollouts skip.
Zero-Trust Readiness for the Mid-Market
Adopt zero-trust in order of impact, on a real budget, using the Microsoft security tools you likely already own.
Building High-Performing Offshore Teams
Why cost savings evaporate without an operating model — the frameworks that separate a cheap team from a great one, and the one role most teams are missing.
The 2027 Readiness Checklist
Four hard deadlines land in 2027. The inventory, budget questions and readiness self-check to turn them into a plan you can defend.
Written to be used, not to capture you.
Each guide is the condensed version of a conversation we have had many times with technology leaders — the questions worth asking, the order to do things in, and the mistakes that cost the most to unwind. They are deliberately short: a checklist you can take into a meeting beats a white paper you mean to read.
We ask for an email address and nothing else, and we do not run a drip sequence off the back of it. Everything in the guides is advice you can act on without us, and most of it you can act on without any vendor at all. If it prompts a conversation, good — but that is not the price of the download.
They are kept current. When a deadline moves, a figure is revised, or guidance changes, the PDF is regenerated rather than left to age quietly with a 2024 statistic in it.
Start where you actually are.
- Choosing a partner
- If you are about to brief or shortlist consultancies, start with the AI consultancy buyer's checklist — the red flags and the questions to ask in the first meeting.
- Rolling out Copilot
- If licences are bought and adoption is flat, the Copilot rollout guide covers the oversharing prerequisite most rollouts skip and the pilot-measure-expand sequence that actually drives usage.
- Tightening security
- The zero-trust guide sequences adoption by impact on a mid-market budget, mostly using Microsoft 365 licences you already hold.
- Running a distributed team
- The offshore teams guide covers the operating model, the keystone role most teams skip, and measuring productivity with DORA and SPACE rather than hours.
- Planning next year
- Four hard deadlines land in 2027. The readiness checklist turns them into inventories, budget questions and a self-check you can defend.
