AI consultancy, built for adoption

Most AI consulting produces a deck. Ours starts with how your people actually use AI, sequences what to change, and stays for the delivery — across Birmingham, London, Manchester, Leeds, and remotely UK-wide.

Three ways we consult

Plan, execute, build — take one, or run them in sequence.

Plan

AI transformation planning

An 8-week diagnostic of how your organisation actually uses AI, turned into a 12-month roadmap with a detailed first 90 days.

See transformation planning
Most engaged
Execute

AI strategy support

Embedded consultants who carry the roadmap into delivery with your team — tool decisions, governance, measurement, and momentum.

See strategy support
Build

Workflow automation

A 30-day sprint that ships your first prioritised AI workflow, so the plan produces something people use — fast.

How we're different

Consultants who also train the teams

The people who write your roadmap are the same practitioners who deliver the hands-on training it calls for. That closes the gap where most AI strategies die: between the recommendation and anyone's actual working week.

  1. 1Start with evidenceEvery engagement begins with your real baseline: how your people use AI today, what's blocking value, and where the leverage is.
  2. 2Sequence the workA consultant turns the diagnostic into a plan your board can read and your teams can act on — not a 90-slide deck.
  3. 3Deliver with your teamsWe stay for the doing: training the teams the plan prioritises, shipping the first workflows, and putting adoption on a reporting cadence.

What does an AI consultant actually do?

Fewer slides, more evidence. Here's the work behind an adoption-first engagement.

An AI consultant helps an organisation work out where AI fits, in what order, and how to make it stick. In practice that's three things: a diagnosis of how your teams use AI today, a plan that sequences the changes worth making, and enough hands-on delivery that the plan turns into people actually working differently. The label matters less than the output — an AI consultancy that only ever hands over a strategy deck has done half the job.

A good AI consultancy engagement in the UK starts with evidence, not opinion. Before recommending a single tool, we measure the baseline: who uses AI weekly, how capably, on which tasks, and where the repetitive, high-value work actually sits. That baseline is what lets us prioritise — because the difference between a programme that returns something and one that quietly stalls is almost always which workflows you point AI at first, not which model you licensed.

From there the work splits into three services you can take on their own or run in sequence: transformation planning (the diagnostic and the 12-month roadmap), strategy support (embedded consultants who carry it into delivery), and workflow automation (a 30-day sprint that ships the first working thing). What ties them together is adoption: most AI consulting fails on whether people change how they work, so ours is built to end in trained teams and tools in use, measured against the baseline we started with.

Frequently asked

AI consultancy across the UK, in plain terms.

What does an AI consultant actually do?

A good one starts by measuring how your organisation uses AI today, then sequences what to change: which tools, which teams, which workflows, in what order, with what training. At Fautons that means a diagnostic first, a roadmap second, and hands-on delivery third — never recommendations without a baseline.

Are you an AI consultancy or an AI training company?

Both, deliberately. Fautons is an AI training company with consultancy around it: transformation planning, strategy support, and workflow automation. Most AI programmes fail on adoption rather than strategy, so our consulting is built to end in people actually using AI — which is where the training comes in.

How much does AI consultancy cost in the UK?

It depends on scope. Transformation planning is a fixed 8-week engagement; strategy support and automation sprints are scoped to your organisation's size and goals. Tell us what you're trying to achieve and we'll come back with a concrete proposal — the first scoping call is free.

Which parts of the UK do you cover?

All of it. We work on-site across Birmingham, London, Manchester and Leeds, and remotely anywhere in the UK. Our free AI Birmingham session series runs in person, and our consultants deliver embedded engagements nationally.

What experience do your consultants have?

Our consultants and trainers build with AI daily and have delivered at enterprise level — including a six-week AI training programme for Salesforce, delivered jointly with HFI Institute. The same practitioners who plan your roadmap run the hands-on sessions.

How is Fautons different from a big consulting firm?

We're practitioners, not analysts. Engagements are scoped in weeks rather than quarters, recommendations come from your own usage data rather than industry benchmarks, and everything is designed to end in working tools and trained teams — deliverables you can use, not a deck that gathers dust.
