Find the technology that unblocks you
You know what to do first and what to ignore
A jargon-free conversation to find the tasks eating your time and decide which ones are worth solving with technology or AI.
The problem it solves
You don’t like IT, you’re not good at it or you simply have no time for it. You hear about AI and automation all day long, but nobody tells you what is useful for you, in your business, this week. Trying tools on your own usually ends in subscriptions you don’t use and more work than before.
What I do
You tell me what a normal day looks like: what you do by hand, what repeats, what gets forgotten, what you dread or avoid touching. You talk about your business; translating it into technology is my job.
From that I prepare a short list of use cases: specific problems with a specific solution, what it costs, how much time it saves you and how much work it asks of you. The most common ones are about replying to customers sooner, not losing enquiries, no longer copying data between programs, getting email and the website in order, and preparing quotes, invoices or reports without starting from scratch each time.
Sometimes the best recommendation is to buy nothing, and I say so.
Scope
- Included: the consultancy: a one-to-one 30-minute session and, within 48 working hours, the report with the use cases in order of priority and an estimate of the hours and cost of each one. The session does not provide the solution.
- Not included: putting the solutions in place. If you decide to go ahead, each case is contracted separately, by the hour, with a bundle of hours or with maintenance; if not, you keep the report.
Deliverables
- The tasks that eat your time, with an estimate of hours per week.
- Three to five use cases, ranked by impact, cost and effort on your side.
- For each one: what would be done, with which tool, what it would cost per month and what you would need to learn (ideally, nothing).
- A plan for the first 30 days, starting with what pays off soonest.
How it is measured
Hours per week currently spent on the tasks identified, and how many of the recommended cases end up working. If none is worth it, the report says so and that is where it ends.
What I need from you
Half an hour of your time and a willingness to explain how you really work, not how it is supposed to work. You don’t need to know anything about IT.
