Enterprise AI Consulting

Enterprise AI consulting is the practice of helping organizations design, build, deploy, and govern artificial intelligence as a core business capability.

Human Agency is an enterprise AI consulting firm built on a single belief: AI should expand what people can do, not replace who they are. We call this humanistic AI — and it shapes every engagement we take on.

Our Approach

We start with people, not technology.

Before recommending any AI solution, we talk to the people who will use it — sometimes hundreds of conversations across an organization. We learn what's working, what's broken, and what people actually need. Then we build AI that fits into their world.

This approach produces AI that people adopt, trust, and benefit from — because it was designed around them from the start.

We work with organizations from startups to enterprises, across sectors including healthcare, education, construction, biotech, humanitarian organizations, and more. Our clients include Harvard, UNHCR, Clayco, Protein Evolution, Detect, and others building meaningful work at scale.

What We Do

AI to Expand Human Agency

Our foundational belief: AI should make people more capable, more creative, and more effective at work they find meaningful. Every engagement starts here.

Humanistic AI Strategy

A human-centered methodology for designing and deploying AI. We assess where your organization falls on the Humanistic AI Spectrum and build a strategy that prioritizes people alongside performance.

AI Readiness Assessment

A rigorous evaluation of your organization's AI preparedness across six dimensions — technology, people, process, governance, data, and culture. Includes our Five Stages of AI Readiness framework and a 90-day adoption roadmap.

AI Literacy & Enablement

Custom training programs built for every role in your organization. Executives learn AI strategy. Individual contributors learn hands-on AI skills. Everyone gets what they actually need — not a generic training video.

Enterprise AI Governance

Governance frameworks that enable fast, safe AI deployment — not bureaucratic checkpoints. Policy architecture, risk classification, operational monitoring, and compliance mapping for EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001.

Embedded AI Teams

Forward-deployed AI engineers who integrate directly into your organization. They learn your systems, build alongside your people, and transfer knowledge as they go. AI capability in weeks, not the 6-12 months it takes to hire.

Custom AI Assistants

AI tools built on your institutional knowledge — not generic models. Knowledge assistants, customer-facing copilots, workflow agents, and decision support tools that give your people capabilities no off-the-shelf tool can match.

Platform Partnerships

We're platform-agnostic and build on whatever fits your needs:

• OpenAI — GPT-4, GPT-4o
• Anthropic — Claude
• Microsoft — Azure AI
• Google — Cloud AI
• AWS — AI Services
• ElevenLabs, HeyGen, Liquid AI — Specialized capabilities

We choose the right platform for each use case rather than forcing a single vendor. Your technology decisions should be driven by what works best, not by who we have a preferred partnership with.

Who We Work With

We serve organizations across a range of sizes and industries. What they share: ambition to use AI meaningfully, commitment to their people, and readiness to move beyond experimentation.

• ‍Enterprise organizations scaling from AI experiments to operational AI capability.‍
• Growth-stage companies building AI into their product and operations from the ground up.‍
• Purpose-driven organizations — nonprofits, educational institutions, humanitarian organizations — where expanding human agency isn't just a philosophy but the mission.‍
• Regulated industries — healthcare, finance, legal — where governance and compliance are prerequisites, not afterthoughts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you choose an enterprise AI consulting partner?

Look for three things. First, do they start with your people or with the technology? Firms that lead with technology often build impressive demos that don't get adopted. Second, do they have experience in your industry or with similar organizational challenges? AI consulting is not one-size-fits-all. Third, do they transfer knowledge to your team or create dependency? The best engagement ends with your organization more capable, not more reliant on the consultants.

What should an enterprise AI strategy include?

A complete enterprise AI strategy covers five areas: an assessment of current readiness across technology, people, process, governance, data, and culture; a prioritized roadmap of AI use cases ranked by impact and feasibility; a governance framework for safe, compliant deployment; an enablement plan that builds AI skills across the organization; and a delivery model — whether that's embedded teams, internal hires, or a combination — for building and maintaining AI capabilities over time.

How long does it take to see results from enterprise AI?

With a focused approach, organizations typically see initial results in 4-8 weeks. Quick wins — targeted AI deployments that solve specific, high-value problems — build confidence and demonstrate ROI. Broader organizational transformation takes 6-12 months. The key is starting with use cases that matter to the people who'll use them, not with the most technically impressive project on the roadmap.

What makes Human Agency different from other AI consulting firms?

We build AI to expand human agency — to make people more capable, not less necessary. Practically, that means we start every engagement with extensive stakeholder interviews, design AI around human needs rather than technical possibilities, and measure success by adoption and impact rather than deployment alone. We also operate as embedded partners rather than external consultants — our engineers work inside your organization, learn your domain, and build alongside your team.
