Let’s CHAT AI iN YOUR OPERATIONS.

What happens next

After you send your message, Phil will be in touch within one working day — usually sooner. The first conversation is a straightforward chat: what you're trying to do, where AI fits in, and whether there's a good match between what you need and what Diagonal Thinking offers.

There's no sales pitch. If there's a fit, Phil will outline what working together could look like and what it would cost. If there isn't, he'll tell you that too.

What Phil works on

Phil works with business leaders, teams, and organisations that want to get serious about AI — not the hype version, but the practical, working version that actually changes how things get done.

AI training and workshops — Half-day and full-day sessions for teams and leadership groups, covering generative AI and agentic AI. The AI Advantage and The Agent Advantage are the flagship programmes, running in-person, online, and as bespoke team deliveries.

AI consultancy and strategy — For organisations that want a clearer picture of where AI should and shouldn't fit in their operations, and a practical roadmap to get there without the jargon.

One-to-one advisory — For senior leaders who want a thinking partner as they navigate AI adoption decisions.
