Our Mission
We want to help enterprises harness the power of the coming wave of Intelligence explosion. We know that our roles are all going to shift. We want to earn your trust and business. Our goal is to help you build capability for you that persists long after we complete our work.
Our practice is founded on a simple premise: the coming decade will bring civilizational-scale technological shifts. Transformations are an over used term. And they don’t happen easily. What we all need is transmutation. We need to renew our organizations continuously. Enterprises that want to last in that future need honest guidance. Guidance that transmutes them into the Intelligence Enterprise - enterprises that embody intelligence.
Our Approach
Grounded in common code
We respect the ACM Code of Ethics:
- 1.1 We contribute to society and human well-being
- 1.2 We avoid harm in our work
- 1.6 We respect privacy and confidentiality
- 2.1 We strive for high quality in processes and products
- 3.7 We recognize systems integrate into society and act with care
This isn’t aspirational — it’s operational. These principles guide our decisions, recommendations, and the engagement.
What Makes Us Different
Robust Assessment Over Agreement
We’ll tell you when your strategy won’t work, even if it means less revenue for us. As an example, a large minority of M&A integration doesn’t realize the full value proposition. Well meaning, and well intentioned AI projects end up costing more time and resources. We’ve lived through these transitions, from IC to VP level. We know from our real life experience what actually works.
Capability Transfer, Not Dependency
Success means you don’t need us anymore for the specific engagement we started with. We will transition the LCM (life cycle management), not just the results. If you’re still calling us years later after we finish, for very basic decisions, we’ve failed.
**Practical Pricing ** We price for value, not industry peer competitiveness. Not because we’re worth more, but because honest work requires value, not the work alone.
Background
For over 30 years, in roles ranging from Systems Analysis ICs to Executive level (VP) across HPC infrastructure, distributed scaleout and multi-cloud platforms, to AI enablement of enterprises.
We’ve handled lifecycle ops to greenfield efforts to creating innovations in IT that our engineers never thought possible. We’ve managed, and outgrown vendor lock-in. We’ve watched M&A integrations slow down - because strategic partners optimized for engagement length. We’ve also moved them faster - some of the largest integrations to our credit, in some of the most technical industries. We have learnt our lessons - that relentless execution culture beats strategy for breakfast.
Our practice exists because we have lived through the realization that enterprises deserve better.
The Long Game
We aren’t vectoring for size or stickiness. We only care about positioning you for what comes next.
We want to work on things that impact and serve the 99%, not just the top enterprises. Everyone can, and should, master the new intelligence explosion.
If you want someone to validate your pre-made decisions, we will do it, but that would only be for adding more value. If you want honest guidance from peers who’s lived through these transmutations, let’s talk.
