My method

in four steps
  1. Diagnose

    Start from the numbers, customer journeys and real processes, not intuitions.

  2. Specify

    Write down the rules, data, edge cases and success metric.

  3. Deploy and train

    Step by step, with your tools and teams, so the tool is adopted, not endured.

  4. Measure

    Compare before and after, then adjust. A measured gain convinces more than a demo.
