§ AI implementation with Peter Merkert
AI that works in the way your company works.
I help companies implement AI in their operations, from understanding how the business runs to building solutions and handing them over to the team.
Discuss your operationsWorking alongside your people.
I join the work, learn the context and build alongside your team. This forward-deployed approach connects business understanding with hands-on engineering. We agree what success looks like before building and plan ownership from the start.
- 01
Understand
Observe the work, map processes and learn the systems, constraints and exceptions.
- 02
Propose
Compare opportunities by expected value, feasibility, cost and the changes needed for adoption.
- 03
Implement
Build and integrate the solution, evaluate it against real examples and roll it out with the people using it.
- 04
Enable and hand over
Train the team, document how it works and transfer operation and maintenance to named owners.
Proposals you can act on.
Each proposal identifies the process and its owner, the current difficulty, expected benefit, implementation approach, dependencies, effort and running costs. We agree how to evaluate the result and what people will review.
We compare existing tools, integrations and process changes, and choose a useful first scope. Discovery gives you a clear basis for deciding what to implement.
A team that can carry it forward.
Professionalism means clear commitments, preparation and dependable communication. Enablement means sharing the understanding, tools and ownership needed to keep improving.
Before handover, we practise operating the workflow together. Your internal owners have the access, configuration, evaluation examples and documentation they need to handle common exceptions and maintain the solution.
§ One possible engagement
Six months, from discovery to handover.
We agree the scope and weekly commitment around your company. A focused discovery phase can lead into an embedded engagement, with progress reviewed along the way.
Month 1
Understand and prioritise
Map the work, establish a baseline and agree practical proposals.
Months 2–3
Build and evaluate
Implement a first workflow, test representative cases and learn with a small group.
Months 4–5
Adopt and improve
Strengthen reliability, measure daily use and develop internal ownership.
Month 6
Transfer ownership
Rehearse operation and maintenance, complete the handover and review the results.
Measures follow the process, such as handling time, rework, cost per completed task and staff use. We include human review and running costs when assessing the benefit.
Leadership when the work needs it.
I can take an agreed fractional or interim mandate. We define responsibility and decision boundaries around your existing team.
CTO
Technology strategy, architecture decisions and engineering direction.
CIO
Internal systems, integrations and the way technology supports your operations.
Chief AI Officer
AI priorities, evaluation, delivery and adoption across the business.
Director of Engineering
Engineering teams, manager support and dependable delivery alongside your existing leadership.
A few practical questions.
Can you work with our existing teams and systems?
Yes. I start with how your people work and what your systems support. We agree the scope with the process owner and the relevant technical and leadership teams.
Can you join for six months?
Yes. An engagement can cover discovery, implementation, adoption and handover. We agree the commitment and priorities around the workflows and your team’s needs.
What happens when you leave?
We plan that from the start. I work with internal owners, document the solution and help the team practise operating and improving it. We check responsibilities, access and maintenance arrangements before handing over.
§ Start a conversation
Where could AI help your business?
Tell Peter how your company works and where the friction is. We can explore a process review, help with a specific workflow, or an embedded engagement through to adoption and handover.
