Unleash Epic
Those who design the future they desire. Put in the effort to make it real. Help others see what's possible. Then get to work building it.
That's where we come in. Strategic clarity for leaders navigating change. Turning complexity into executable strategy.
Start a ConversationWhere AI Execution Actually Happens
Strategy is easy. Execution is where AI dies. We fix that. Most AI projects stall between experiment and production. Not because the technology fails, but because organizations can't operationalize it. We identify exactly what's blocking you and show you how to fix it.
Diagnose exactly where your AI initiatives stall. Our assessment surfaces the 3-5 blockers preventing org-wide adoption. Not theoretical risks, but the specific friction points killing your momentum right now.
- Identify your top 3-5 execution blockers
- Map where initiatives die (pilot purgatory, approval hell, adoption gaps)
- Quantify the cost of stalled AI projects
- Pinpoint quick wins vs. structural fixes
A prioritized 90-day plan built for your org. Not frameworks. Specific actions, owners, and milestones. You'll know exactly what to do Monday morning, who's responsible, and how to measure progress.
- Week-by-week action sequence
- Clear ownership assignments
- Measurable milestones (not vague objectives)
- Board-ready progress tracking
Get leadership, IT, and front-line teams moving in the same direction. We close the gap between strategy and daily operations so your AI vision actually reaches the people who need to execute it.
- Executive-to-frontline strategy translation
- Cross-functional coordination design
- Communication frameworks that stick
- Alignment that survives the next fire drill
Remove the friction slowing your AI rollout. From approval bottlenecks to integration delays, we identify and fix the drag so your initiatives move at the speed of business, not bureaucracy.
- Approval process acceleration
- Integration bottleneck removal
- IT-business partnership optimization
- Deployment velocity metrics

He's Run the Operations You're Running
Builder. For builders.
John Vyhlidal has run the operations you're running. Air Force officer, Big 4 consultant (CISA), Nike executive, business owner. 20 years of building systems that turn strategy into results while everyone else was still arguing about the plan.
He's led process optimization across manufacturing, professional services, and technology. He's been the guy they called when a transformation was stuck, inherited teams that were underwater, and delivered what he said he would deliver.
Now John bridges the gap between Silicon Valley speed and Enterprise Control. Having audited complex systems for Fortune 500s, he helps organizations navigate what he calls the "March of 9s": transitioning AI from experimental pilots to auditable, production-grade assets. He specializes in AI-specific internal controls and pragmatic governance, helping leaders ensure their AI is as reliable as their general ledger.
If you need someone who understands both the boardroom and the server room, someone who can design strategy and ensure it gets executed, John's ready to talk.
We work with builders wherever they are.
