One practical standard.

The approach
Clarity before complexity.
Every engagement begins with the work, not the tool. That is how we protect your time, your people, and your investment.
Discover
Understand your goals, team, workflows, constraints, and current level of AI readiness.
Prioritize
Identify the use cases with the strongest combination of value, feasibility, and responsible risk.
Build
Create the training, workflows, prompts, custom assistants, or automation roadmap your people can use.
Adopt
Support implementation with documentation, governance, feedback loops, and clear measures of success.
Tool-fluent. Business-led.
The platform is not the strategy.
ChatGPT. Claude. Gemini. Perplexity. Custom agents. Automation platforms. I am proficient across the major tools, but I do not force a favorite onto your business.
The right choice depends on your use case, data, team, risk profile, existing technology, and budget. The goal is not more software. The goal is better work.
Read the AI adoption guideFrequently asked
Good questions lead to better systems.
What does an AI consultant do for a small business?
I help identify useful applications, select appropriate tools, redesign workflows, train employees, establish safeguards, and measure whether adoption is creating real value.
Can you train an entire team?
Yes. Workshops can be designed for leadership, specific departments, cross-functional teams, or full organizations and can range from foundational literacy to role-specific workflows.
Do we need to know which tool we want first?
No. Tool selection comes after goals, constraints, and use cases are clear. That prevents an expensive solution from looking for a problem.
Do you work outside New York?
Yes. Shaw is based in New York City and works regionally, nationally, and internationally through virtual, on-site, and hybrid engagements.
