Find the real problem before you spend money fixing the wrong one
I help small business owners sort out who owns what, what they actually need, and what to build or buy next, including AI tools.
You know your business. I help you see the whole picture. We listen to the people doing the work, map what’s really happening, and choose a next step your whole team can get behind. That’s what I did for more than a decade at the Federal Reserve Board.

Maybe This Sounds Familiar
Everything has to go through you, and you can't take a day off without things falling apart.
Your business can't run without you, and what it needs to know is all in your head.
Good people keep leaving, and you are not sure why.
Two people or teams keep passing the same problem back and forth.
Nobody is sure who is responsible for the customer list, the pricing, or the process.
You are about to buy software or an AI tool, and you are not sure what you actually need.
The last system you bought never got used.
Sometimes the problem is not the people. It’s that no one has written down who owns what, who needs what, and how it all gets done.

Business Situation Map Session. One situation, mapped together, with root causes and your top two or three next steps.
Requirements Package. Interviews with the people who will use the system, a map, and a plain-language requirements document you can hand to IT or a vendor.

Meet Christina
For more than a decade at a large federal agency in Washington, DC, I helped teams sort out who owns information, who needs access, and how decisions get made. I helped move ownership from individuals to roles, so work no longer depended on one person.
