Dr Gus Barrett · Enterprise AI Advisory

Fix AI programmes before they become expensive failures.

Independent, senior-led advisory for enterprise AI recovery, assurance and value realisation. We help boards and executives recover stalled AI initiatives, reduce delivery and governance risk, and turn AI investment into measurable operational value.

What we do

Enterprise AI Recovery Diagnostic — a two-week executive diagnosis of delivery blockers, value gaps, governance issues and adoption barriers, with a prioritised recovery plan.
AI Assurance Review — a four-to-six-week independent assessment of strategic fit, vendor claims, delivery risk, security, governance and value confidence, with red/amber/green conclusions for boards.
AI Value Realisation Programme — a six-to-twelve-week advisory engagement covering use-case portfolio, operating model, adoption plan, measurement framework and roadmap.
Executive AI Advisory Retainer — monthly independent counsel, board preparation, vendor challenge and escalation support.

Who we work with

Senior leaders in complex organisations where AI failure has financial, operational, regulatory or reputational consequences: Chief Information Officers, Chief Operating Officers, Chief Risk and Security Officers, Chief Data and Digital Officers, board sponsors and private-equity operating partners.

Sector focus: telecommunications, financial services and regulated industries, and customer-contact / omnichannel operations.

Method

Symbiotic Intelligence is our practical approach to designing people, processes and AI systems so that technology improves judgement, performance and accountability rather than creating new operational risk.
