Board Advisory for SI & IT Services Firms

Agentic AI is reshaping the IT services market faster than most leadership teams are prepared for. I work at board level with system integrators and IT services firms to turn that disruption into strategy, offering, and competitive advantage — drawing on building MeetLoyd and on standards work at the UN ITU (SG17).

Where I help

Agentic strategy

  • • Board-level briefings on the agentic shift
  • • Threat & opportunity mapping for your services portfolio
  • • Where agents disrupt, and where they create margin
  • • 3-year strategic narrative for the board and investors

Building an agentic offering

  • • Designing a credible agentic services line
  • • Packaging, pricing, and outcome-based models
  • • Go-to-market and positioning vs. the field
  • • Partner & platform strategy (make vs. buy)

Governance & risk

  • • Agentic AI governance and operating guardrails
  • • EU AI Act, security, and trustworthy agent identity
  • • Risk posture clients and regulators will accept
  • • Informed by UN ITU SG17 standards work

Operating model & enablement

  • • Reskilling delivery teams for agent-led work
  • • Margins and utilization in an agentic delivery model
  • • Executive and practice-lead enablement
  • • Internal adoption to dogfood your own offering

Who I work with

System integrators, IT services firms, and consultancies — and the regulated, high-trust enterprises they serve (financial services, healthcare, public sector, and companies facing EU AI Act obligations).
