AI ENABLEMENT · FOR TEAMS ALREADY USING AI
Most AI rollouts fail not because the tool is wrong, but because there's no enablement strategy behind it.
The tool gets bought, a handful of people use it, and six months later leadership is asking why nothing changed. I help businesses figure out where they're actually losing time, implement AI at the workflow level, not just the software level, and then measure whether it's working in terms that matter to leadership. The result isn't just a tool deployment. It's a program.
Tool-agnostic. No platform to sell, so the recommendation is about your workflow, not my product.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
A few people love it. Everyone else went back to the old way.
You bought the licenses and sent the launch email. Six months later the same three people use it, and the rest of the team is still doing things the long way.
Leadership keeps asking if it's working. Nobody can answer.
There's no baseline and no usage numbers, and nobody can say whether anyone's saving time. So the renewal conversation turns into a guess.
The licenses are paid for. Nobody owns them.
No one was assigned to make it stick, so it sits in a browser tab. Everyone agrees it should be helping. Nobody has the time to figure out where.

93% of leaders encourage their teams to use AI. Only 52% have reworked a workflow around it.

01 · WHO'S BEHIND THIS
The team didn't want the tool. They had a fair reason.
At Phlexglobal, I brought an AI tool into a sales team that pushed back hard. One rep put it bluntly. He didn't want this thing spying on his conversations with his customers. It was a legitimate concern, and I treated it like one.
I could have kept explaining how the tool worked. Instead I sat down with the reps and with leadership and talked about something else, how much of their week was going to data entry.
Once they saw it as time back for customer work, resistance turned into use.
About 600 hours of data entry a month, recovered.
The tool didn't get better. The conversation did.
I'm Adrian Alston. I've spent 15+ years in pharma, SaaS, and telecom, and the job has been the same every time. Find where people are stuck, build the fix around how they actually work, and measure whether it held.
I don't sell tools. I make the ones you already own pay off.
02 · WHAT THE WORK PRODUCES
In their words
Fifteen-plus years running programs inside life sciences, tech, and telecom organizations, most recently leading AI enablement at Merz North America.
“…driving in millions of dollars of increased revenue directly as a result. Simply put, we could not have done it without Adrian's partnership.”
DAVID · VYVE BROADBAND
“If you're hiring someone who needs to build processes that hold up when they hit the team using them, Adrian is the kind of operator you want.”
KENNY · MERZ AESTHETICS
“Adrian thinks like a practitioner, communicates like a strategist, and gets things done.”

03 · HOW WE WORK
The A·I·M Framework
Every engagement runs the same sequence, whether it's a 30-minute call or a full workflow assessment.
| Phase | What happens |
|---|---|
| Assess | Map the current state before recommending anything. Identify root causes, not symptoms. Separate AI hype from genuine operational opportunity. Score use cases on frequency, time cost, complexity, and risk. |
| Implement | Guide responsible deployment and adoption. Design phased rollouts with governance built in from the start. Build enablement and champion networks alongside the technology, not just the software. |
| Measure | Get a real answer to the question leadership keeps asking. Is it working? We track whether people are using it, whether it's saving time, and whether they trust it, so you know what to fix, what to expand, and what to stop paying for. |
“The program loop is what separates a program from a rollout. Anyone can deploy a tool. Not everyone builds the feedback mechanism that makes it better over time.”
Measure feeds back into Assess. That loop is what turns a rollout into a program.

Systems Snapshot Call
Most people start here
|
$15030 min | A focused conversation to map where your team is losing time and whether AI is the right lever to pull. You leave with a clear picture of where your time is going and a first move. If it's clear in the first ten minutes that AI isn't your real problem, I'll say so, and you won't pay for the call. | Book → |
Workflow Strategy Session |
$50060 min + written brief | For one workflow where you already know what's slowing you down. You answer a few questions when you book, and I review them before we meet, so the hour goes to solving, not explaining. You leave with a written Recommendation Brief within 3 business days, not just notes from a call. | Book → |
Single-Workflow Assessment |
$2,000Fixed scope | A fixed-scope assessment of one workflow, start to finish. We map how the work runs today, find why it breaks, and design how it should run going forward. You get before-and-after workflow maps and a written report within 5 business days, walked through on a findings call.See a sample report → (opens in a new tab) | Book → |
Already using AI? Find out if it's paying off.
The AI Value Check gives you a straight answer on one AI tool your team already has. Usage, time saved, trust, and the quality of the work it produces. You leave knowing what the evidence says to keep, fix, or stop paying for. The decision stays with you.
We also find out who owns it today and what your people are doing with it, so you know where the gaps and the risks are.
