What does AI change for a company like yours?
Usually less than the noise suggests. Sometimes more than it seems. I help owners of established companies tell the difference.
Japhet Stone, sparring partner for owners in the AI transition.
How I see it
Nobody knows yet what an AI-driven company looks like. Building the business around tools, making each job faster, running a company with almost no people: each of these is a bet, not an answer.
AI won’t reach every part of a business at the same speed. What matters is where your business model and your market will change first, and where they will change slowly.
Soon every company will use AI. That becomes the baseline. The advantage lies in what only you can give it: your own clean data, your knowledge, your relationships.
As the internet fills with machine-made content, trust and a real presence in the world become worth more, not less.
So there is no silver bullet, and I’m wary of anyone who sells one.
What I do
None of this has a general answer. It has one for your company, and it depends on your market, your people and what you want to hand on. I help you work out what to act on, what to leave alone, and in what order. When a first step needs building, I can build it or oversee it.
Background
I’ve maintained petrochemical plants, studied law in Maastricht, worked in politics and policy, and now build AI systems myself. That is why I look at a company from the floor, the rulebook and the market at once.
How I work
A small number of owners, over years rather than projects, with discretion. No team of juniors, no slide decks. English, German, Dutch.
