Governance. Enablement. Experience Design.

AI Consulting for Customer and Employee Experience

AI is changing what businesses can do, but AI itself is not a strategy. We help you design the roadmap and show where it can create value, what needs to be in place to support it, and how to make it work for the people who use it.

What is AI consulting?

Put AI to work where it matters

AI consulting is about more than choosing a tool. It’s about deciding where AI belongs in your business, preparing your people and processes for it, and designing experiences that work for customers and employees.

What we offer

We help businesses move AI forward across three areas

Andrew Reise brings more than 22 years of experience in research, journey mapping, measurement, and change management across more than 200 clients. We apply that experience to the questions AI is creating for businesses today.

Our work spans three areas: AI Governance to establish the policies, accountability, and oversight that support responsible use, AI Enablement to identify opportunities, prioritize investments, and help teams adopt AI in their everyday work, and AI Experience Design to make AI interactions useful, understandable, and effective for customers and employees.

1. AI Governance

Build a foundation for responsible AI

AI is becoming part of the tools employees use, the platforms vendors provide, and the experiences customers have with your business. We help you establish the policies, roles, and decision-making processes to manage it with clarity.

We look at governance from both the business and human perspective, so policies are practical for the people expected to work within them.

2. AI Enablement

Turn AI opportunities into action

AI can change how work gets done across the organization. We help you identify where it can have the greatest business impact, prioritize the right opportunities, and give your teams a practical path to implementation and adoption.

The work connects AI strategy to the way people actually work, including workflow redesign, change management, and measurement.

3. AI Experience Design

Design AI around real people

The success of an AI interaction depends on more than whether the technology works. Customers and employees need to understand what’s happening, know when they’re interacting with AI, and have a clear path to a person when they need one.

We bring more than two decades of customer and employee research and experience design to AI, helping you understand what people expect and design interactions around those expectations.

AI Strategy and Roadmap

Know where to start and what comes next

If you’re evaluating multiple AI opportunities, our AI Strategy and Roadmap engagement gives you a practical plan for moving forward.

We work with your team to connect your business goals to AI opportunities, understand your current capabilities, prioritize the work, and build a roadmap with clear owners, measures, and business cases.

1. Align on goals

We start with what you’re trying to accomplish and define what success looks like.

2. Assess your current state

We look at your systems, processes, data, people, and existing AI capabilities to understand what’s ready and what needs attention.

3. Prioritize opportunities

We identify where AI can reduce effort, improve decisions, enhance experiences, or create other measurable value, then assess opportunities based on impact and feasibility.

4. Build the roadmap

We create a phased plan that connects immediate opportunities with the foundational work and longer-term initiatives needed to support them.

You leave with: an AI Readiness Report, prioritized opportunity set, and strategic roadmap with the business case attached.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AI consulting for customer experience?

AI consulting for customer experience helps businesses decide where AI can create value across customer and employee journeys, establish the governance around it, and design interactions that work for real people. 

What is an AI readiness assessment?

An AI readiness assessment looks at your people, processes, data, and technology to understand what’s in place today and what may be needed to support your AI priorities. 

Can you work with the AI tools we already own?

Yes. We often start by looking at the capabilities already available through your existing technology. Because we don’t resell software, our recommendations aren’t tied to a particular platform. 

Do you provide AI strategy and roadmaps?

Yes. Our AI Strategy and Roadmap engagement connects your business goals to prioritized AI opportunities and creates a phased plan for implementation, including owners, measures, dependencies, and business cases. 

What is AI experience design?

AI experience design applies customer and employee experience principles to AI interactions. It considers things like transparency, tone, human handoffs, trust, and what happens when AI doesn’t get something right. 

Do you help with implementation?

Yes. We can stay involved beyond strategy and planning to support workflow redesign, experience design, change management, adoption, and measurement. 

How is Andrew Reise different from a technology or AI consulting firm?

Our AI work builds on more than two decades of research, experience design, measurement, and change management. We bring that perspective to AI rather than starting with a particular technology or platform. Our work is senior-led, solution-independent, and grounded in the realities of your customers, employees, and business. 

Ready to put AI to work?

Whether you’re defining your AI strategy, evaluating a specific use case, building governance, or thinking through the customer and employee experience, we can help you figure out what comes next.
