AI Advisory
Understanding What Matters.
Applying What Works.
Artificial Intelligence is evolving rapidly—and so is the pressure to “do something with AI.” But jumping on the latest trend isn’t the same as making a meaningful investment. At Discern, we help leaders cut through the hype and make clear, informed, and mission-aligned decisions about AI. Whether you’re just starting to explore AI or already experimenting with tools, we bring the insight and discernment needed to make AI work for you—not the other way around.
AI That Serves a Purpose
We don’t push technology for technology’s sake. We start by understanding your purpose, your people, and your goals. From there, we help you explore how AI can:
- Enhance decision-making
- Improve productivity
- Reduce complexity
- Deliver better service
- Free up human capacity for what matters most
We help you navigate both the possibilities and the limits of AI—with wisdom, caution, and creativity.
Our AI Services Include:
Strategic AI Readiness Assessment
Are you ready for AI? Should you be? We help you evaluate where AI fits (and where it doesn’t) in your organization’s mission, systems, and strategy.
AI Opportunity Mapping
We work with you to identify specific use cases across your organization where AI can add value—from automation and insight to communication and service.
Making AI Understandable
We demystify complex AI concepts so your team can make smart, confident decisions. We explain how different kinds of AI work, including:
- Generative AI (e.g., text, images, code)
- Predictive AI (e.g., forecasting, risk modeling)
- Reactive AI (e.g., real-time automation, sensors)
- Limited-memory AI (e.g., chatbots, customer service)
- Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning
- Natural Language Processing (NLP) (e.g., language understanding and generation)
- Computer Vision (e.g., image recognition, quality control)
- Neural Networks and AI architecture fundamentals
We break it down so you can see your opportunities clearly.
AI Tool and Vendor Evaluation
With hundreds of AI platforms and tools on the market, how do you choose? We help you evaluate vendors, compare capabilities, and select the right-fit tools for your team, budget, and use case.
Pilot Programs and Implementation Planning
Once you’re ready to test or scale AI solutions, we guide you through pilot and phased rollouts—minimizing risk, maximizing learning, and aligning technology with culture and capacity.
Human-Centered, Ethically Grounded AI
We believe technology should serve people—not replace them. That’s why we prioritize:
- Ethical frameworks
- Responsible data use
- Transparency and trust
- Human-in-the-loop design
We help organizations use AI wisely and responsibly, so you’re not just more efficient—you’re more effective, more just, and more aligned with your mission.
AI Isn’t the Answer. But It Can Help You Ask Better Questions.
The right AI strategy won’t just optimize operations—it can reshape how you think, serve, and lead.
At Discern, we guide clients not just to adopt AI, but to discern its purpose and place in their organization. We’re not tech vendors. We’re strategic partners committed to helping you lead thoughtfully in a fast-changing world.
Let’s talk about how AI can serve your mission—not distract from it.
