The right approach depends on where you are, and what you're trying to solve. ### [AI Fluency "I'm setting AI strategy without ever using the tools myself." Executive Fluency Deploying AI to your teams is a strategy. Deploying it to yourself is a prerequisite. Four to six weeks of hands-on coaching, run personally by Philippe, in person at your workstation โ€” on the work that's already on your desk. You leave with a personal playbook, real deliverables, and the judgment to lead what comes next. What it covers Building on your real workflows, drafting and analysis with the tools, calibrating governance scope, framing buy-versus-build and vendor decisions 4โ€“6 weeks. ~4 hours per executive.

Organizational Redesign Deploying AI tools isn't a transformation. A transformation is redesigning the structure underneath โ€” the standards, the performance systems, the org design, and the roles โ€” so your organization can grow without growing overhead linearly. What it covers SOPs & documentation, performance management, AI Workers deployment, org design, change enablement 6 pillars. One coherent system.

Scalable Capacity A recurring process in your operations is consuming headcount it shouldn't. An AI Worker takes over that role โ€” with defined scope, a reporting line, and measurable KPIs. It runs daily, handles exceptions, and frees your team for higher-value work. Common examples Invoice processing, logistics documentation, performance monitoring, compliance intake 50% labor reduction Learn more โ†’ ![AI Workers](https://sterlingnorth.partners/hubfs/Website%20revamp%2003-2026/Homepage%20-%20AI%20Worker.png)](https://sterlingnorth.partners/ai-workers?hsLang=en) ### [AI Solvers "I have a problem too big for my team." One-Time Heavy Lift You're facing a massive operational challenge โ€” categorizing 100,000 parts, researching M&A comparables, migrating tens of thousands of patient records. Your team could do it, but it would take months. An AI Solver does it in days. Common examples Mass data categorization, M&A research with comparables, large-scale system migrations, regulatory filing preparation 100K+ items processed Learn more โ†’ ![AI Solvers](https://sterlingnorth.partners/hubfs/Website%20revamp%2003-2026/Homepage%20-%20AI%20Solver.png)](https://sterlingnorth.partners/ai-solvers?hsLang=en) The Moment We're In ## The organizations that win aren't adding AI to their existing structure. *They're redesigning the structure itself.* Most AI deployments underdeliver โ€” not because the technology is wrong, but because the organization wasn't designed to run with it. The standards don't exist. The KPIs aren't tracked. The roles haven't been redesigned. [See the transformation framework โ†’](https://sterlingnorth.partners/ai-transformations?hsLang=en) The trap most organizations fall into Waiting for the technology to stabilize before changing how they work. The organizations adapting now are building the muscle while the tools are still maturing. By the time the dust settles, they'll be two years ahead. The question that actually matters Not "which AI tools should we buy?" โ€” but "how do we need to reorganize so that AI makes us structurally more capable?" That is a harder question. It is also the right one. How We're Different ## Operations Consulting Meets AI Engineering Most AI companies sell technology. Most consultancies sell strategy. We design and deploy AI systems that do real work inside your organization โ€” scoped to a bottleneck, measured on results, and built to be maintained. Scoped to a Bottleneck Every engagement starts with a specific operational constraint โ€” not a roadmap or an assessment. Built for Production Our solutions run daily inside real businesses, handling real data, with real accountability. Measured on Results We define KPIs upfront and measure against them. If it doesn't move the needle, we haven't delivered. Results ## What This Looks Like in Practice AI Worker 50% overall labor reduction Mid-market fashion manufacturer AI Solver 100K parts categorized in 4 days Aerospace manufacturer AI Solver 50% portal adoption reached in 7 weeks Medical Clinic Network ![Philippe Marcotte](https://sterlingnorth.partners/hubfs/4J8A3890-HD.jpg) Who Builds This ## Philippe Marcotte, Managing Director & Founder I led AI and analytics transformation engagements at McKinsey as an Engagement Manager, then built and operated a VC-backed network of tech-enabled medical clinics where I had to implement it โ€” not just recommend it. As a partner at Cylad Consulting, I delivered AI-enabled solutions inside complex industrial organizations. Sterling North is where all of that converges. "Nobody knows how our work will change in the next 5 years, but we know Phil is the right person to help us prepare for it." Remi, CEO Large Chain of Medical Clinics Start With Clarity ## Not Sure Which Approach Fits? Every engagement starts with a 30-minute strategy call. We'll identify the bottleneck, assess the fit, and recommend the right approach โ€” whether that starts with Fluency, a Worker, a Solver, a Transformation, or something else entirely.
