AI TRANSFORMATION ADVISORY
AI Transformation for
Modern Operating Models
I work with leadership teams to move from legacy digital workflows to AI-enabled operating models—aligning strategy, execution, and value realization across the enterprise.
Advisory focused on execution,
not experimentation
not experimentation
AI transformation succeeds when it is anchored in operating reality.
ONE Department works with leadership teams to design AI-enabled operating models that integrate strategy, workflows, governance, and measurement—so AI becomes part of how the organization runs, not a disconnected initiative.
