Signature talks

01

AI in the professional firm: from experiment to governance

How firms move from scattered AI trials to clear, accountable practice: who decides, what gets recorded, and how clients are told.

For: Firm owners, partners, compliance leads

  • A simple way to map where AI already touches client work
  • What good oversight looks like day to day
  • How to explain AI use to clients plainly
02

Networks, not silos: how professions adopt technology together

Why independent firms move faster when they share what works, and how professional networks turn isolated experiments into shared standards of practice.

For: Conference audiences, membership bodies, trade associations

  • Why peer learning beats vendor demos
  • Building trust between competing firms
  • Practical models for shared know-how
03

Trust, judgement and AI in the built environment

Where professional judgement must stay with the professional, where AI can help, and how to keep the client's trust when the tools change faster than the rules.

For: Built environment, PropTech and accountancy events

  • Separating judgement from process
  • Risk and governance lessons from accountancy
  • Questions every board should be asking
04

What boards need to hear

Opportunity, exposure and the questions directors should ask next.

For: Boards, partners and firm leadership

Advisory and board roles

Strategic advice. Open to board and advisory roles.

I advise firms and leadership teams on AI strategy and governance: what to adopt, what to evidence, and how to keep professional judgement with the professional. The work is board-level and time-bounded. I do not sell myself as an “AI consultant” charged by the hour.

Current board role: Trustee of LionHeart, the property industry charity — my only board role at present.

Who this is for: surveying and built-environment firms, boards open to an advisory seat on AI, and proptech or vendor leadership teams who need a clear view of professional standards.

Training

Practical AI training under my own name.

A two-hour course and in-house sessions for teams who need plain-English grounding in AI use and governance. Training draws on the GUARD framework — Governance, Use, Accountability, Risk and Documentation — mapped to the RICS Professional Standard on Responsible Use of AI in Surveying Practice.

Who it is for: firm owners, partners, practice managers and teams adopting AI in client work.
