AI consulting, governance and automation

After training, Northwind writes your AI usage policy, builds automations and advises your leadership as the tools change.

  • AI advisory

    Northwind meets regularly with your leadership to plan how your organization uses AI. The consultants advising you already know the systems you run.

  • AI governance

    Northwind writes an AI usage policy that sets which tools your staff use and what data those tools may receive. When clients or insurers ask how your organization uses AI, the answer is already in writing.

  • Workflow automation

    Northwind builds automations around the work your team repeats. Your staff approve the steps that matter, and the finished workflow comes with documentation.

AI consulting and training questions

Do staff need a technical background for AI training?

No. The 101 class assumes no technical background. The 103 class is for technical staff and operations leaders who design and run multi-step workflows.

Can our staff use AI tools with company data?

Yes, once a written AI usage policy is in place. The policy sets which tools staff may use and what data each one may receive.

Which work should we automate with AI first?

The best first candidates are tasks that repeat often and are easy to check. We identify them with you in a consultation before building anything.

Can AI automations connect to our existing systems?

Yes. Northwind builds automations on the systems you already run.

Is AI training available for individuals as well as teams?

Yes. Each class runs for a whole team or for individual staff members.

What is AI consulting?

AI consulting is guidance on where and how your organization should use AI tools. At Northwind, it covers staff training, a written policy for company data, workflow automation and ongoing advisory sessions.

Find the work worth automating first

In a consultation, we review where your team’s time goes and which tasks repeat.
