Questions we get.
Where do we begin with AI?
You don't need an AI strategy before we connect. Start with what you want to improve, where work gets stuck, or what you're curious about. Together, we identify the priorities and a practical place to begin.
Do we need technology or AI leaders before we start?
No. We work with your existing leaders and subject matter experts to clarify the capabilities, ownership, and AI fluency your business needs. You don't need every role filled before exploring what's possible.
We already use AI tools. What would change?
Tools are only part of the change. We connect AI to how people work, make decisions, and collaborate with agents. The goal is to move from scattered experiments to shared priorities and measurable business results.
Do you help with organizational change as well as technology?
Yes. We connect business strategy, organizational change, and hands-on implementation. That includes roles, leadership behaviors, team structures, and how time, talent, and investment support the priorities that matter.
How are our people involved?
Your subject matter experts help shape the solutions. We build alongside your team and develop AI fluency at every level, so people know which work is theirs to own and which to hand to an agent. Human judgment and accountability stay part of the work.
Do our data and processes need to be ready first?
They don't need to be perfect. We help identify the data and process issues that matter for your priorities, then agree on what needs attention before moving forward.
Will we need to replace our existing systems?
Not necessarily. We keep what works and redesign the rest around what AI makes possible. Replit is our platform of choice for building AI-native solutions, and we connect solutions to existing systems where appropriate. Business needs guide the technology decisions.
How do you support responsible AI use?
Clear guardrails on data, access, accountability, and human review support responsible use. We help define those guardrails around the work and its risks, so people understand where AI can act and where human judgment is needed.
How do we measure results?
We agree on what success looks like and measure against a starting point. Depending on your priorities, that might include faster turnaround, better customer experiences, stronger execution, or more capacity for higher-value work.
Can you help a small business?
Yes. We work with businesses of different sizes, across teams and functions. The starting point depends on your priorities, capacity, and where we can make a meaningful contribution.
What makes Sommerkamp Consulting different?
We bring business strategy, organizational change, and hands-on building together. Deirdre's operating experience spans growing businesses, leading global teams, and acquiring companies. Your people help shape the change, and we stay close to the work as ideas become working solutions.
Can you help with a specific business need beyond AI?
Yes. Our experience also spans operations, leadership, go-to-market, customer experience, and business acquisitions. Let's connect to discuss what you need and whether we're the right fit.
