Executive AI Advisory
An AI expert in your corner — the moment you need one, not after the board call explaining what went wrong.
Most mid-market executives are making AI decisions based on vendor pitches, analyst reports, and what their peers claim to be doing. After the Executive AI Workshop, clients always have follow-up questions they didn’t know to ask, and are now deeply exploring ideas. The Executive AI Advisory is a natural next step.
The Executive AI Advisory is a monthly retainer that gives clients a dedicated number of hours each month with Dr. Gerard — to ask questions, get an outside opinion, do research, attend their meetings, and have a knowledgeable AI expert in their corner as they navigate important AI decisions in real time.
This is not a project engagement. There are no fixed deliverables. Clients gain access to Dr. Gerard’s judgement and experience. How clients use their hours is up to them — as long as it stays within Dr. Gerard’s wheelhouse.
Who It’s For
Mid-market C-suite leaders who are embarking on AI initiatives and need fast access to AI expertise.
What You Walk Away With
- Weekly or bi-weekly calls with the sponsor: a standing check-in with whomever is signing the check, to make sure they’re getting value and to stay connected to what’s evolving in their organization. Bi-weekly is the starting point; weekly is also available.
- Outside opinion on meetings: Dr. Gerard sits in on a meeting (stand-up, project review, executive session) and gives his read afterward. This is especially useful when they’re about to make a decision around AI and want a second set of eyes before they commit.
- Research on a topic: client brings a question or an area they’re uncertain about; Dr. Gerard goes and figures it out and comes back with a useful answer. This is where a senior colleague is helpful—you don’t have to go figure it all out yourself.
- Ad hoc questions:. The primary use case. Client emails or messages Dr. Gerard with a question; he responds.
- Mini workshop or short talk: if the client wants Dr. Gerard to do a brief presentation or Q&A at a staff meeting (“Can you just come explain what’s actually happening in AI right now?”). This is not a full workshop preparation; it’s extemporaneous.
