You're the Most Expensive Firefighter in Your Company

Let's Fix That

Most AI consultants will sell you efficiency. A productivity boost. That's fine, but it’s the solution to the wrong problem. The real problem is that you’re stuck working IN your business, not ON it. We install strategic AI systems that break that cycle. For good.

The Gravitational Pull of the Urgent

You didn't build a business to spend your day untangling operational knots, clarifying miscommunications, and responding to "urgent" emails at 10 PM.

Yet, here you are.

While you've been keeping the engine running, your most dangerous competitors haven't been working harder. They've been building systems to think better.

They're not outworking you; they're out-thinking you.

This isn't a time management problem. It's a systems problem.

Strategy isn't a document.
It's a daily habit.

I’ve sat in boardrooms at global firms and I’ve sat at kitchen tables with founders. The difference isn't the quality of the ideas. It’s the systems that protect those ideas from the gravitational pull of daily chaos.
 

I started Escape Velocity for one reason: I was tired of seeing brilliant SMEs get outmanoeuvred, not by better products, but by better-coordinated operations.

Our Unshakeable Principles

1. Strategy is not a plan you make. It is a thing you do.

A dusty PowerPoint is a monument to good intentions. True strategy is a daily, 15-minute habit of clear thinking, embedded into your operations.

​

2. AI is not a technology tool. It is a liberator of human potential.

Its purpose is not to replace your people, but to automate the mundane so they can do the meaningful, high-value work they were hired for.

​

3. Working IN your business is an addiction.

It feels productive. It gives you a hit of adrenaline. And it is the single biggest threat to your company's future.
