What we do.

Three services, one discipline: understand the work before recommending anything.

AI Training

Hands-on sessions that give leaders and their teams a working understanding of AI, built around their own work. One-on-one or as a team.

Corporate Innovation

For energy and industrial organizations: define the problem worth solving, evaluate the technologies and partners that could solve it, and design pilots with a path to scale.

AI Strategy & Implementation

Find where AI pays off in your operation, build the plan, and put it into production with your team in the loop.

How we work.

Every engagement starts the same way, whatever the technology. The solution enters the conversation once the problem is fully understood.

01

Listen

We start with the people who do the work. Interviews, walkthroughs, and the systems they use every day.

02

Define

We find where the constraint actually sits, and we are willing to conclude the answer is a process change rather than a new tool.

03

Deliver

Training, a pilot, or a production build. Scoped to the problem, measured against the outcome you named at the start.

Founder

Philip de la Gueronniere

Philip spent most of his career delivering technology and innovation programs inside Fortune 500 energy and industrial organizations. He has sat on the enterprise side of the table, deciding whether an outside partnership or pilot goes anywhere. That perspective shapes every Cortland engagement.
