Efficient Enterprise
COE Mentoring
Build an Automation & AI Center that prints ROI—without burning your people or your budget.
3-month private engagement.
We partner with your teams to mature delivery, governance, and ROI across your Automation & AI practice—so initiatives stop stalling and start paying.
Why a Center of Excellence (COE)?
Most companies don’t fail at AI because of the tech. They fail because the machine around the tech is broken—no operating model, ad-hoc “projects,” zero visibility into value, and governance that shows up after the fire.
COE Mentoring makes the machine run. We install the operating rhythm, the value pipeline, and the accountability stack that turns scattered efforts into compounding returns.
Turn scattered efforts into compounding returns.

How hands-on are you?
Very. We’re in the rooms where decisions are made, reviews happen, and value is measured. We mentor, we co-design, we enforce standards, we build dashboards, we help you win.
