AI readiness · Executive sessions & diagnostics

How do you 10× your own productivity with AI?

You believe in AI but haven’t had time to build with it. We’re two ex-McKinsey operators who build and run agentic systems every day — and in one session we’ll get your first agent working on your real workload. See it pay off for you before you take it to your team.

For a limited time we’re running highly limited small-group coaching sessions — 12 people max, Friday afternoon, with two facilitators.

Offerings

Three reads. One question: are you ready?

Each is a standalone engagement, written for a different buyer. Start where the question is most alive for you.

For your top team · or just you

Executive AI Diagnostic

Rapid diagnostic: structured interviews and a capability assessment of your top team — or a private one-on-one diagnostic and coaching. You get a written findings report, a personal debrief, and your first working agentic systems we build for you — not a deck that gathers dust.

  • Duration2 weeks
  • OutputReport, debrief + agentic systems
  • ScopeTop team or individual

30 minutes with the partner who’d run it. No deck, no pitch.

A broad interview base, benchmarking and capability assessment, then the highest-impact levers to move toward top quartile on AI adoption.

Powered by the qubit consultingOS.

consultingOS is the agentic studio behind every diagnostic we ship: it scopes the brief, fans research across the evidence base, holds a quality gate on every claim, then assembles a deck where every number traces back to source. Below is one live engagement, replayed end to end.

How it works

Session. Read-out. Next step.

01 · SIT THE SESSION

We measure, you work

A fitness session or diagnostic sprint built around your real work, not hypotheticals. Our harness does the heavy lifting in the background; you stay in the conversation.

02 · GET THE READ-OUT

Findings in writing

A precise, evidence-traced read-out: capability scores, exposure points, and the gaps that matter. Every claim is traceable to what we observed.

03 · DECIDE THE NEXT STEP

Your call, clearly framed

The read-out ends with a recommended sequence — what to change first and why. Some clients run with it themselves. Some ask us to stay. Both are fine.

Who runs qubit

The two of us.

qubit is an agentic-AI studio. Both of us trained at McKinsey and learned to coach senior people — and both of us build and run AI agents (software that does the work, not just chat) on our own companies every day, this page included. That overlap — builder and coach— is the whole point: you learn the systems from the people who build them, taught by people who coach for a living.

Runs IKIGAI AI Ventures, his agentic engineering & venture-building studio — and built Frollie OS, the system the FMCG company Frollie now runs on, largely solo in about 60 days by directing a swarm of AI agents. Open-sourced the tooling, spoke at Sydney's AI Mini-Con, and writes it all up in the open.
