About us

Who we are

We are led by Tony Wood. Forty years of experience. A hundred AI helpers. And most of our time spent with people.

Forty years

Experience you will not find in a general AI model

We bring Tony’s forty years of experience to every piece of work.

The experience behind what we publish has never been online and never been trained on. So you will not find it in a general AI model.

A few things Tony has done

  • Co-founder of the bank kroo
  • Adjunct Lecturer at the University of Exeter Business School
  • Programme Director and facilitator with the Society of Leadership Fellows at St George’s House

Our AI team

A team of ten becomes a hundred

We run our own work with AI helpers. Each one has a clear job.

Each one has limits on what it may touch. A named person is in charge of every one.

They prepare. We decide.

How we show up

Six habits you can expect

  • Fully there

    When we are with you, the preparation is done. So our attention is on you.

  • Questions before answers

    We would rather ask “have you thought about...?” than tell you what to do.

  • Connection, not persuasion

    No hard sell. If it is not the right fit, we will say so.

  • Open to challenge

    We change our minds when the evidence says so, even about our own habits.

  • What you say stays with us

    Private by default, in the room and in the AI helpers.

  • You keep the answer

    We build it with you. Success is the system running without us.

Teaching and sharing
