Book the conversation. Bring the question.
Thirty minutes, no charge, and a collaborative working session about the question on your desk. You leave with a read you can act on whether or not we ever speak again. Which question you bring depends on where you sit.
TWO WAYS THIS CONVERSATION STARTS
Choose the seat you answer from.
You answer for risk.
You are the CCO, CRO, CAE, or GC, and your examiner, external auditor, or audit committee has started asking AI questions. We will cover where AI actually operates in your business, including the features your platforms have already switched on, and the two or three questions your examiner will raise first. If a formal assessment is warranted, the AI Exposure Diagnostic is the next step: fixed fee, 3 weeks, about 10 hours of your team’s time.
You answer for the P&L.
You are the CEO, a business unit leader, or the PE sponsor behind one, and the AI investment is stalled between pilot and production or not delivering the financial returns. Bring the deployment that is stuck, or the question your board keeps asking. We will trace what is blocking it, and determine whether the fractional Chief AI Officer seat fits your firm's situation or does not. Either way, you keep the diagnosis.
SCHEDULE
Pick a time. The calendar is live.
If no listed time works, email me or call (203) 493-6716 and I will find one.
BEFORE WE SPEAK
No pre-work. Three things help if you have them.
Your current AI policy, if one exists. A policy with gaps is more useful to this conversation than no policy, and no policy is useful information in itself.
The names of your major application platforms: your GRC suite, your HRIS, your CRM. That is where the AI nobody inventoried usually lives.
The one question your board, your examiner, or your CEO keeps asking. That question is usually the whole agenda.
None of these are required. The conversation works either way.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER
You get the read in the call, not in a proposal.
If the right next step is the AI Exposure Diagnostic, I will say so before we hang up and put the scope and the fixed fee in writing the same week. If the right next step is the fractional Chief AI Officer seat, that becomes a conversation with your CEO, and I will tell you what to bring to it. And if the right next step is nothing, I will say that too. The first conversation is where you get value to unlock your AI business problem, and it is supposed to be useful on its own.
Thirty minutes settles the next step.
If the calendar is not cooperating, the direct route always works.
