What we see in most organizations is that individuals experiment with AI, but there’s no shared practices or internal training. Through live, in-person or virtual trainings, we can help your team move from random experimentation to structured AI adoption. Focused workshops tailored to your specific business can transform abstract familiarity into real capability.
Training programsGood AI adoption starts with clarity, not tools. We work with you to set the policies and governance that keep AI use safe, dig into your operations to find the specific pain points AI should actually solve, and build your team's confidence so the change holds. Practical, customized to your workflows, and measurable — not tech for tech's sake.
How we consultStrategy is only worth what gets built. We help you scope, develop, and run AI inside your business — whether through a one-off project focused on a specific pain point, or an ongoing managed services retainer. You also get access to our vetted network of certified suppliers at preferred pricing.
Implementation servicesWho We Work With
We help small to mid-size businesses define practical use cases for AI in their existing business operations, evaluate tools and software options, and connect AI initiatives directly to performance outcomes—such as improving customer satisfaction, reducing lead response times, or lowering campaign costs.
“We came in thinking we needed an AI tool. We left with a policy, a shortlist of use cases, and a team that actually knew what to do on Monday. That order mattered.”
“Our team was quietly using AI with no guardrails. H1 gave us clear rules and trained everyone on them in two sessions. The anxiety went away and the output went up.”
“They didn't hand us a slide deck and leave. The training was built around our actual work, so the team was using AI on real tasks by the end of the first session.”
We are proud to be a WSI Certified AI Consultancy. WSI has led digital innovation for over 30 years, helping more than 150,000 businesses grow globally. Through H1's exclusive AI Consulting Partnership, you'll get proven frameworks, enterprise-grade tools and access to WSI's extensive team of AI experts and delivery partners.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, and quite frankly scared, by the speed and ferocity with which AI has taken hold in the past year, you are not alone. The world is changing. Fast. Small businesses have traditionally been some of the last people to take advantage of new technologies due to high cost, lack of time or simply being stuck in their ways. But with AI, the stakes couldn't be higher for small businesses to adopt this new technology as quickly as possible.
I truly believe that AI can have transformative effects for small business. It can empower growth, innovation and customer experiences that were never before possible for small businesses to achieve. But it has to be implemented thoughtfully and carefully, or you risk hurting your customers and employees, breaking your systems, and ignoring the values that made your business special in the first place.
I’m deeply passionate about helping small businesses thrive. I grew up in a family of small business owners, and have spent the past decade running my own small business, so I understand firsthand the challenges—and opportunities—that come with building and growing a business. My goal in working with you is to not only be an AI expert you can rely on, but also someone you trust as you navigate the complexities that come with adopting this new, ever-changing technology.

Still wondering about something? A 30-minute call usually answers it faster than email.
No. Most of our clients have no in-house AI or data staff. We work with the people who own the process — operations, marketing, service — and handle the technical side through our own team and vetted supplier network.
Training teaches your team to use AI tools well and safely. Consulting goes deeper: we set your AI strategy and governance, dig into each business function to find where AI will pay off, and map out what to build first. Training is part of every consulting engagement, so your team is ready to put the plan to work.
After a discovery call and preliminary assessment to better understand your organization's AI Readiness, most clients will start with either training or consulting. Our consulting engagements follow our AI Adoption Roadmap and include establishing your AI vision, guardrails and governance, training your team and assessing your data and tech stack, and then performing deep dives into your business functions to surface high-impact use cases.
Whichever ones fit your workflows, budget and data requirements. We evaluate options with you rather than reselling a single platform, and our WSI partnership gives you access to vetted suppliers at preferred pricing.
Yes. We are based in Denver and work on-site across the Front Range, and we support clients elsewhere remotely through the same engagement model.
It depends on scope — a single training workshop and a multi-quarter implementation program are very different commitments. We quote fixed scopes after the discovery call so there are no open-ended hourly surprises.
