Trusted by forward-thinking organizations
AI transformation and implementation consulting
The ADOPT Method™ Transformation Program combines executive alignment, team training, implementation and governance over six to twelve months. It is designed for organizations with leadership commitment and work to coordinate across departments.
- What is included?
- All five ADOPT phases: Align, Develop, Operationalize, Practice and Transform. The engagement combines a roadmap, capability building, strategic builds selected from the audit, governance and reporting for leadership.
- How does this work for private equity?
- A PE firm’s operating team needs to select priorities and compare evidence across holdings. A portfolio-company team needs to implement workflows within its own systems, data rules and responsibilities. Start by defining which organization owns the work; portfolio-wide scope is agreed separately.
- What should we have in place?
- A leadership sponsor, accountable workflow owners and time from the teams doing the work. Discuss data access, security review, existing systems and baseline measures during scoping so the roadmap reflects your constraints.
- How is the engagement priced?
- From $250,000 for a six-to-twelve-month Transformation Program. Contact us with the departments, systems and implementation needs involved. Scope, milestones, delivery arrangements and responsibilities are agreed for your organization.
- How is success measured?
- Agree baseline measures for time, throughput, quality and cost, then review adoption and results with leadership. Keep estimated capacity released separate from cash savings. The reporting should show its assumptions and who owns each workflow.
AI Consulting Built for Execution, Not Advice
Most AI consulting ends at the recommendation. Ours ends at the system running in production.
We work with leadership teams that have run pilots, seen promising demos, and still cannot point to a workflow that changed. Our AI consulting engagements combine executive alignment, hands-on capability building, and governance that outlives the engagement. The result is a small number of AI systems your people actually run, with the ROI documented well enough to take to a board.
Every phase of ADOPT runs sequentially, with deep investment and white-glove support throughout.
Founder signal: Tim Cakir stays directly involved in strategy checkpoints and executive alignment across transformation engagements.
Key insight: The Accelerator is included in the Transformation (as the D = Develop phase). Transformation wraps all of The ADOPT Method™ around it with deeper investment in each phase.
We stay until the system runs without us.

Why Transformation, Not Just Training
We Identify What Teams Build
We use the ALIGN audit to identify strategically-aligned builds, not teams choosing their own projects.
Phases Run Sequentially
Each phase gets deep, focused investment before the next begins. Real organizational change, not just team change.
Board-Level Reporting
Board presentations, case studies, and executive summaries that prove the ROI of your AI investment.
Ongoing Relationship
Quarterly check-ins for 12–24 months ensure your AI transformation keeps evolving long after the program ends.
White-Glove Support
Direct access to Tim Cakir, on-site days, priority response times, and a dedicated success manager.
Start with Accelerator, Scale to Transformation
Organizations often start with the Accelerator and upgrade to Transformation when they see results.
The upgrade path is natural: complete the 12-week Accelerator, identify the need for deeper investment, and begin Transformation with the ALIGN phase. Previous Accelerator credits may apply.

A full Transformation Program in The ADOPT Method™ starts at $250,000 and runs six to twelve months across all five phases.

An Operator in Residence is $18,000 per month. See all five programs and their prices.
An AI consulting engagement runs all five phases of the ADOPT Method™: Align, Develop, Operationalize, Practice, Transform. It combines executive alignment, hands-on capability building, strategic builds chosen from an audit, governance design, and board-ready reporting. Implementation is included rather than recommended. The engagement ends with a small number of AI systems your people actually run.
Absolutely. Many organizations start with the Accelerator to prove value, then upgrade to Transformation for deeper investment. Previous Accelerator investment can be credited toward Transformation.
AI training, our twelve-week Accelerator, builds capability across a team and finishes with production tools that team built. AI consulting adds executive alignment, strategic builds chosen from an audit rather than by the team, governance that survives handover, and board-level reporting. Training changes what a team can do. Consulting changes how the organization runs.
Six to twelve months end to end. Align runs four to six weeks, Develop spans months two to four, Operationalize takes eight to twelve weeks, and Practice runs two to four weeks, with Transform continuing as an ongoing cadence.
ROI depends on baseline maturity and implementation scope. Transformation clients receive formal reporting on time savings, throughput, quality, and cost impact for leadership review.
Very. Tim leads executive workshops, quarterly strategy calls, and is your direct contact for strategic decisions. He's personally invested in every Transformation engagement.
