Australia · AI Transformation

AI that actually moves your business.

We work with founders and CEOs who are tired of AI promises that never reach the P&L. We embed inside your business, find the real opportunities, and build the capability to capture them.

Most AI strategies stay in the deck. We make them work.
Services

Three ways in. One way to scale.

Most engagements start with an audit and grow from there. You only commit to the next phase when the value of the last one is clear.

i.

Audit

Diagnostic and opportunity map

A fixed-fee engagement to map your tools, workflows, team capability and commercial processes. You walk away with a prioritised list of AI opportunities ranked by commercial value, not vendor noise.

From $45K + GST 2 to 4 weeks Fixed scope
ii.

Sprint

Built inside your own tech stack

We build against the single highest-value opportunity surfaced in the audit, inside your existing tech environment. We bring the capability and the headcount to deliver, so you get the build without carrying excessive ongoing cost. You leave with working capability your team owns.

From $75K + GST 8 to 12 weeks Outcome based
iii.

Partner

Embedded AI leadership

A monthly retainer for businesses ready to make AI a sustained competitive advantage. Think of it as a fractional Chief AI Officer who already knows your business, sits in your leadership cadence, and is accountable for outcomes.

From $15K / month Minimum six months Embedded
Approach

Start with a conversation. End with capability.

No shelfware. No readiness frameworks for the sake of it. We find what is worth doing, then build it.

i.

Discovery

One hour. We listen to where your business is, what is working, where AI sits on your agenda, and what is in the way. No deck.

ii.

Audit

We map tools, workflows, team capability and commercial processes. The output is a prioritised opportunity map, not a generic AI report.

iii.

Sprint

We build with your team. Hands on. Practical. Generating real commercial output within weeks. You leave with working capability.

iv.

Partner

For clients ready to compound the advantage, we stay embedded. Monthly retainer. Part of your leadership structure.

Most AI consultancies sell strategy decks. We sell working capability. The difference matters because the gap between an AI vendor's pitch and what an AI deployment actually delivers in your business is enormous, and bridging it is where the value is.

ECG was built for the businesses that have figured this out the hard way. The ones that have already bought tools, run pilots, sat through demos, and are now asking the harder question: what do we actually need to change about how we work for any of this to matter?

"The right starting point is frustration. If AI has not yet delivered what was promised, that is not a failure. That is the brief."

We work with founders and CEOs who are personally accountable for the answer. The engagement is short, sharp, and commercially focused. Every deliverable is something your team can use on Monday morning.

Start with a conversation.

One hour. No pitch. No deck. We listen to your business and tell you honestly whether we can help. If there is a real opportunity to work together, both of us will know by the end of it.

We work with businesses where the founder or CEO is personally frustrated that AI has not yet delivered what it promised. That is exactly the right starting point.
