What we do About
AI Transformation Consulting

AI Transformation Properly Done

We help ambitious businesses become genuinely AI-ready, not through generic advice, but through one integrated methodology that runs the full distance: from strategy through to execution, and everything in between that makes AI actually stick.

See what we do

Your board has mandated AI. Budgets are allocated. And you're left with the question nobody can answer: where do we actually start?

What we do

One integrated methodology. Not a menu.

Five disciplines, sequenced and connected, covering everything from strategy to the change management that makes it stick.

STRATEGY
EXECUTION
01

CIO Advisory

AI strategy and a 12-month transformation roadmap. The entry point for every engagement.

02

Data Readiness

Governance, architecture and infrastructure, so AI has good data to work with.

03

AI Build & Automation

Agents, automations and integrations, built hands-on with your team, live in production within weeks.

04

Security

AI posture assessment and governance. New risk surfaces require new defences.

05

Change & People

Adoption programmes and behavioural change. The piece most transformations fail on.

About

Twenty years inside teams, solving problems. Not advising, doing it.

The Plaibook is led by Chily Fachler, who spent twenty years as a CIO before founding it: most recently as CIO at AppsFlyer, driving 97% AI adoption across a $500M+ ARR, 1,300-person organisation. Before that, CDIO at Steinhoff UK, running the CIO function and digital P&L for two retail brands.

Chily was the buyer before he was the advisor. He signed the vendor contracts and bore the accountability when deployment stalled, so he knows exactly where transformations fail, and how to make sure yours doesn't.

He's backed by a team of senior experts: data technologists, AI builders, CIOs and change management specialists, so every engagement has the right depth at every stage, not just at the top.
