Technology implementation firms install and configure tools. Pink Aspen Advisory works at the layer that determines whether those tools ever deliver on their promise, the leadership alignment, governance infrastructure, and change management work that makes adoption actually stick.
Pink Aspen Advisory has no technology partnerships, referral relationships, or financial incentives with any AI vendor or software company. Every recommendation is based solely on what's right for your organization's mission, capacity, and values.
-
The core engagement, Assess, Envision, and Plan, typically runs 12 to 16 weeks. The Sustain phase is ongoing and can include an optional Executive Advisory Retainer for continued thought partnership and support. Implementation timelines vary based on scope and your organization's internal capacity.

Prosci® is the globally recognized leader in change management research and methodology. Their Certified Change Practitioner credential represents rigorous training in the people side of organizational change, specifically how to guide individuals and organizations through transitions so that new ways of working actually stick.
For AI adoption this matters enormously. Research consistently shows that the gap between AI installation and AI realization is almost always a people problem, not a technology problem. Having a Prosci®-certified advisor means your engagement is grounded in proven methodology.

Pink Aspen Advisory works with nonprofits and foundations that have digital systems in place and leadership ready to move intentionally on AI.
I engage exclusively at the executive level, working directly with CEOs, Executive Directors, COOs, and CTOs to build the leadership alignment and organizational readiness that makes AI adoption succeed.

Every phase of a Pink Aspen Advisory engagement produces concrete, board-ready deliverables, not just recommendations. Depending on your engagement scope, that includes an AI Readiness Report, AI Vision Statement, Leadership Alignment Summary, AI Strategy and Roadmap, Governance Framework, Prosci®-informed Change Management Plan, and Board-Ready Presentation Package.

Yes, and this is often the ideal time to engage! Organizations that build the right foundation early avoid the costly mistakes that come from moving too fast without governance, alignment, or people readiness in place.
You don't need existing AI tools, a formal AI strategy, or even a clear sense of where to start. The Assess phase is specifically designed to meet your organization where it is today and build from there. Starting intentionally is always better than recovering from a failed implementation.
-
Pink Aspen Advisory engagements are scoped and priced individually. No two organizations start in the same place, and the investment reflects the complexity, size, and needs of your specific engagement.
Pricing is discussed as part of an initial conversation once we have a clear picture of scope. Pink Aspen Advisory is currently accepting a limited number of engagements at introductory rates.
