The question is whether you're building new revenue — or just doing the same work faster.
Upshift helps professional services firms turn AI into sellable offerings. Two days with your senior team. You leave with 2–3 new services — priced and ready to take to market.
AI makes your people faster. It doesn't change what you sell.
If AI lets a professional do in one hour what used to take five, time-based revenue shrinks by 80% — unless the firm changes what it offers, how it delivers, and how it prices. Law firms, accounting practices, marketing agencies — this is the commercial problem defining your industry right now.
“If AI lets my people do the work in a fifth of the time, my invoices shrink by 80%.”
“We've bought three AI tools this year and nobody on my team is actually using them.”
“Half my clients are asking why they need us when they can use AI themselves.”
“I'm not afraid of AI. I'm afraid of making the wrong bet and finding out in 18 months.”

This is not my first technology cycle.
30+ years and $300M+ in technology commercialization — browsers, mobile, SaaS, Bitcoin, AI. The same pattern plays out every cycle. A disruptive technology forces an industry to rethink its commercial model. The firms that figure out what to sell differently win. The ones that bolt the new technology onto an unchanged business model lose.
My skill is turning capability into revenue.
I have been a CEO, carried a number, managed teams, and made the decisions you are now facing. This is a peer-level conversation, not a consultant pitch. Not building the technology. Not implementing the technology. Building the revenue engine around it.

Two days to change what you sell.
Your people know your business. What they don't know is what AI makes possible and how to turn that into revenue. That's what the Workshop produces.
AI Commercialization Workshop
Two days with your senior team. Day 1 is a facilitated working session. Day 2, I produce polished briefs with positioning, pricing, delivery models, and the first three moves to get each offering to market.
Full-day facilitated session
Managing partner + 3–6 senior people
2–3 offering briefs
Positioned, priced, and ready to take to market
60-minute closing call
Pressure-test assumptions with managing partner
You've probably talked to an AI consultant already.
Not an AI implementation firm.
We don't select, configure, or build technology.
Not a training company.
You leave with offerings to sell, not slides to review.
Not a fractional CAIO.
The orientation is commercialization, not technology leadership.
Not a consulting firm that sells hours.
We sell strategic judgment applied to real commercial decisions.
$15,000
Fixed fee. Ongoing advisory available — starting at $7,500/month.
If one new offering generates $50K in its first year, the Workshop paid for itself three times over.
What happens next
30-minute intro call
We talk about your firm, your market, and where AI is creating pressure. No pitch.
The Workshop
Two days with your senior leadership. Day 1 is a working session — not a presentation. Day 2, I produce the offering briefs.
Ongoing or done
Launch independently with everything you need, or continue with an Advisory Retainer.
We work with law firms, accounting practices, marketing agencies, consulting firms, staffing firms, and engineering firms.
Questions we hear.
I don't need to — and the model is designed so I don't have to. Your team provides the domain expertise. I provide the commercial framework and AI knowledge. Day 1 is a facilitated working session where your senior people do most of the talking. Neither of us could produce the output alone.
You're not paying for two days of my time. You're paying for 2–3 specified service offerings your firm can take to market. If one of those generates $50K in new revenue in its first year — the Workshop paid for itself three times over. Big Four AI strategy engagements run $300K+ over months — different scope, different output. This is two days and three offerings ready to sell.
Good — that means your team has context, which makes Day 1 more productive. Most AI strategies focus on adoption and efficiency. The Workshop focuses on what you sell differently. Those are two separate problems.
