Consulting and Advisory

The functions shaping your employees' experience rarely sit in the same room, and almost never look at the same data when making decisions about the choices and impact of work. With
AI reshaping work, team boundaries blurrring, and work rhythms shifting, the choices keep getting harder.

Phil Kirschner speaking

Someone needs to hold the connections between these moving parts, and most organizations have yet to give anyone that job. I work on this problem. Executives hire me when they need a partner who can quickly get to the root issues, translate fluently among HR, IT, CFO, and CRE, and stay through the messy second phase. Friction shows up most painfully inside the teams and business units where the work actually happens.

How I Collaborate With Clients

Work Transformation and Change Leadership

For the decisions that live in the grey space between silos: a major workplace investment, an AI-driven operating model shift, an experience overhaul that touches space, technology, and behavior at once. I help leadership teams decide with confidence, then build the structures that make it stick.

Team Operating Audits and Ways of Working

For GMs and BU leaders whose teams have stalled, restructured, or absorbed a fresh mandate: AI rollout, RTO, cost targets. A diagnostic across the levers that govern how your team works: people, place, tech, AI. You get a root-cause map and the 3–5 changes most likely to move your numbers in two quarters.

Fractional Chief of Work Advisory Role

For organizations that need ongoing, cross-functional stewardship of how work is designed and governed, but have yet to create a dedicated role. I become a strategic partner to the leaders who own pieces of the work agenda and need someone to facilitate across lines. Regular cadence, direct access, accountability over months.

Executive Workshops and "North Star" Visioning

For leadership teams that need to align before they can act. I facilitate "North Star" workshops, futures thinking, and narrative design that give executive teams a shared framework and the confidence to commit to a direction. Often the start of a broader advisory relationship.

AI Adoption and Work Redesign

For leaders and teams ready to move from AI awareness to fluency in their own workflows. I map and redesign work to capture real value from AI, drawing on my background in IT architecture and human-centric research. For structured upskilling, I facilitate public and private cohorts for Lead with AI, where participants build practical, personalized AI assistants.
