Strategy & Advisory

The honest read on AI, for the people making the decisions.

For leadership teams who’ve heard the pitches, read the headlines, and need a sober conversation about where AI actually fits in their business. We don’t sell transformation programmes. We sell clarity.

Why it works

Most AI strategy decks are written by people who’ve never deployed AI.

The market is full of beautiful PDFs telling executives that AI will transform their industry. They’re long, expensive, and useless, because the people who wrote them have never actually shipped a workflow into a real business. They don’t know what the models can do today, what they’ll do in six months, or what an actual implementation looks like inside a 200-person company.

Nomad’s advisory work is different because we deliver the work too. When we tell you what’s worth doing, we’re telling you what we’d build for you next month if you asked, through training, Managed Seats, or a Nomad OS build. When we tell you what to ignore, it’s because we’ve seen people waste budget on it.

The output is short. The conversation is honest. The next step is yours.

If you need to understand how your operations actually run before deciding on direction, an Operational Audit is the diagnostic that sits before this conversation. paid, fixed-fee, written deliverable.

The formats

Two ways to bring Nomad into the strategy conversation.

Executive Briefing

A 90-minute to half-day session with your leadership team. We pre-read your materials, build a sector-specific briefing, and deliver a sharp conversation about where AI fits in your strategy. You walk away with a written AI position statement and a recommended next-step roadmap, not a 100-slide deck.

Length
90 minutes to half-day
Pricing
From €2,500
Format
In-person at your site or live online; small group (5–15 senior people)
Best for
Boards, C-suites, and senior leadership teams planning AI investment

Advisory Engagement

For a specific decision or programme: a defined-scope advisory engagement over 4–8 weeks. Stakeholder interviews, options analysis, recommended path with implementation feasibility. The deliverable is short, a position document and a 1-pager you can take to the board, backed by the full working out.

Length
4–8 weeks
Pricing
From €8,000
Format
Mostly remote, with one or two in-person sessions
Best for
Companies facing a specific AI investment decision (build vs buy, platform selection, vendor evaluation, programme design)
What you get

Three deliverables, every engagement.

Position statement

A short written document capturing the decision, the rationale, the trade-offs, and the recommended action. Designed to be read by your board.

One-pager for the leadership team

The same content compressed to a single page that an executive can read in three minutes and act on.

Implementation roadmap

If we recommend doing something, you get a written sense of what doing it would actually look like, phases, dependencies, what could go wrong, what success looks like.

What we don’t do

The things you might expect from a strategy firm that we won’t do.

  • 100-slide decks
  • Year-long retainers that never end
  • Transformation theatre
  • Implementation in someone else's name
  • Sell you an engagement, then sell you the build that follows from a different team

We deliver advice we’d be willing to act on ourselves. If we wouldn’t build it, we won’t recommend it.
