Do you advise on AI strategy?
Yes. AI opportunity, governance, implementation readiness, and business alignment can be part of board-level advisory.
Can advisory be ongoing?
Yes. Support can be structured around specific decisions or periodic leadership reviews depending on the organization’s needs.
