Technology that actually makes a difference.

There’s usually a gap worth closing.

Most businesses I meet are closer to their next step than they think. The gap tends to sit in one of three places.

1. Growth.

   From growth that needs a hire for every new customer.

   To systems that take the growth in their stride.

2. Return.

   From a technology budget that is hard to read.

   To every pound tied to a result you can name.

3. AI.

   From a lot of interest and a few pilots.

   To two or three uses that pay their way, run safely and keep improving.

Make every pound of technology count.

The best technology spend does at least one of these:

• help you sell more
• improve your margin
• let your people get more done
• give customers a better experience
• lower the cost of running the business
• keep the business safe and resilient
• let the business grow faster than its headcount

When a spend points clearly at one of those, it’s money well placed. Sometimes the best return comes from using what you already have, better.

Anything complicated is easy to build. Simple takes experience.

Simple means it meets its purpose, solves the problem it was built for and adds value. Simple systems are quicker to change, cheaper to run and a pleasure to use. Getting there takes depth: knowing what to leave out, and having built enough to tell the difference. That’s where I come in.

Often the next gain is already in the business.

• Your business is growing faster than its systems, and it’s ready for ones that keep pace.
• Your team’s time could go on customers rather than admin.
• A major project needs a clear plan and a date you can rely on.
• You’ve invested in technology and want to see the full return.
• Your technology team is ready to make an even bigger impact across the business.
• Important work lives in spreadsheets and deserves a proper home.
• Your systems could share information, so people enter it once.
• You’re curious about AI and want to know exactly where it would pay.
• You’ve bought a company and want two of everything to become one.
• You want a clear, board-level view of cyber, data and compliance.
• You’d like your supplier’s dates to be dates you can plan around.
• You’re buying, selling or investing, and want the technology to be a known quantity.

• Deliver what you planned.
• Put AI to work where it pays.

What you get

Short, plain outputs you can act on as soon as you’ve read them.

Some projects are ready to start. Some need a reset. Some free up budget for better ones.

In about two weeks I’ll show you what’s really happening, and tell you plainly the best route: carry on, reset or redirect the budget. If it’s a reset, I lead it myself, stepping into delivery until the programme runs at pace.

Picture your programme at its best. Tick anything that isn’t true today.

Costs track the plan. Dates hold. Everyone knows who owns what. Your suppliers and your team pull in the same direction. Everyone agrees what “done” looks like. The reports match what you hear in the corridor. Each new person on the team makes delivery quicker.

Talk to me about a project

AI does the legwork. I stay accountable for the result.

AI can now do real work: reading, drafting, checking, building. The value comes from knowing which work to hand it, how to direct it and how to check it. That’s what I help with.

What “agentic” means, plainly

An AI agent is software that can plan and carry out a sequence of steps, such as reading a document, writing code, testing it or updating another system, instead of answering one question at a time. Agentic development means agents doing structured work under expert human direction. I set the purpose and the standard. Agents add pace. Review keeps it precise.

1. Pace.

   Agents research, draft, build and test in parallel, so work that used to queue moves on the same day.

2. Purpose.

   A person decides what is worth doing, why, and what good looks like. That never moves to a machine.

3. Precision.

   Every output is checked against the standard before it goes anywhere: tests, a second agent reviewing the first, and my sign-off.

Where AI helps, and where something simpler does more

AI is strongest on work that is heavy on language and repeatable: reading, summarising, drafting, sorting and searching across documents. Where a clear rule will do, a rule is cheaper and easier to trust. Where judgement, accountability or a relationship carries the value, a person stays in charge. Human where it matters. Automated where it frees people up.

Before anything is built, I ask four questions. What does it improve? What will it cost to run? How will you know it’s working? Who checks its work, and how? Usually two or three uses stand out. Those are where we begin.

Find out where AI would pay for you

I lead the work. Specialists and AI agents join where they add most.

• I lead the work myself. The person you meet is the person who does the work.
• When the work needs more hands, I bring in people I trust. Engineers, data, AI and cyber specialists, and delivery partners I’ve worked with over nearly 25 years. You meet them before they start, and you see what they cost.
• AI agents where they add pace. They do structured work under my direction, and every output is reviewed before it reaches you.
• No hidden margins. I take no commissions or referral fees from any supplier or partner, so my advice is shaped by your interests alone.
• We agree what success looks like at the start, in your terms, and I report against it.
• I work with a small number of clients at a time ([number to confirm]), so you get me and not a stand-in.

Hello, I’m Jonathan.

I’ve spent nearly 25 years in technology. I started close to the engineering and went on to run technology, product and data as CTO, CIO and chief product officer. The main thing I’ve learned: technology is valuable for what it lets a business do.
