Bring any one of these

Pick your problem. Here's what to have ready.

Ten minutes of prep is enough. Have it open on screen at the session. You can blank out anything you'd rather I didn't see, and I keep nothing.

Money going out

Software, contracts and retainers nobody has read since signing.

Bring: last three months of recurring bills, or a card or bank statement, or a list of your subscriptions.
Format: PDF, Excel or CSV export, or screenshots.

Customers not arriving

Enquiries have gone quiet, or only come by word of mouth.

Bring: your website address, your Google listing, and where your last ten enquiries came from (rough is fine).
Format: links, plus a short list in a note.

Time that isn't yours

Every quote, approval and awkward client lands on your desk.

Bring: one week of your calendar, or a rough list of what you did last week.
Format: a calendar screenshot or a short list.

Risk you're carrying

Client files and passwords spread across personal email and shared drives.

Bring: the names of the tools and drives where client files and logins live, and who can get into each.
Format: a list. No actual files needed.

A system or person you couldn't lose

One person, or one system, holds it all together.

Bring: what the system or role does, who runs it, and any how-to notes that already exist.
Format: a few lines of description, plus screenshots of the system.

A decision you can't judge

A supplier proposal, a hire, a software quote. Is it fair?

Bring: the proposal, quote or contract, and anything you're comparing it with.
Format: the PDF or the email it came in.

Or a practical AI question

Not "what is AI". What it can do on work your firm already does, and what to keep it away from.

Where AI could take work off your team

Drafting quotes and emails, summarising long documents, sorting enquiries, first drafts of reports. Which of yours is worth trying first?

Bring: one task you or your staff repeat every week, a real example of it, and the tools you already use (email, Office or Google, accounting).
Format: the example on screen (an email, a document, a form), plus a list of your tools.

Is AI safe for us to use?

Staff are already pasting things into ChatGPT. What goes in, what should never go in, and what rules you need.

Bring: which AI tools people use now (a guess is fine), what kind of client or company data you handle, and any IT or data policy you have.
Format: a short list. Your policy as a PDF if you have one.

Not sure which it is? Bring one sentence on what's bugging you. Finding the real problem is part of the hour.

01

Book and pay

HK$888 at the link. Takes two minutes.

02

Pick a time

I send you times before 18 December.

03

Ten minutes of prep

Get the one thing from the list above ready.

04

The hour

10 minutes on the problem in your words, 35 looking at it together, 15 on what to fix first, in order.

05

Your call after that

No chasing. Go on to a Smart Package within 30 days and the HK$888 comes off in full.

Is it worth it?

The sums

What you put in

Ten minutes of prep, one hour, HK$888. It pays for itself if one thing you learn is worth more than HK$888 to you. That's arithmetic, not a promise.

What you don't get

A sales pitch. A quote you didn't ask for. A project. Follow-up chasing. Go on to a Smart Package within 30 days and the hour costs you nothing.

Root cause or your money back

If the session doesn't produce at least one root cause and a possible solution, I'll refund you. The risk is mine, not yours.

Who you'll be talking to

Adam Bell, founder of Innov8

Twenty years as an interim CIO, sitting beside owners and boards when something needed fixing. More than 30 years in Hong Kong. Innov8 since 2002.

Strategy first, then content, then technology. The opposite of vendors who start with a platform.

Past work: IT costs cut 40%, systems back in 7 days, a tender benchmarked within about 6% of the award.

To be straight: no published result yet for a firm of 10–50 people. If you're one of the first three, I'll ask to quote one line on what came out of your hour.

Questions

Before you book

What exactly do I walk away with?

At least one root cause and a possible solution, or your money back. Then what to fix first, in order, and the first step, in plain words. You'll know whether the problem deserves more of your time, and where to start.

What if I'm not sure what the problem is?

Bring one sentence on what's bugging you. Finding the real problem is part of the hour.

Do I have to send you confidential information?

No. Show it on screen during the session and blank out what you like. I keep nothing.

Is this a sales pitch?

No. I'll be straight: I'd like some of these to turn into Smart Packages. That's why the HK$888 comes off in full if you go on within 30 days. But there's no pitch in the hour, no quote unless you ask, and I don't chase.

What is a Smart Package, and what does it cost?

Follow-on work sized to what the hour finds. You only see a price if you ask for one, after the hour, in writing.

What happens after I pay?

I send you times before 18 December. You pick one and get your one thing ready.

I'm flat out before Christmas.

Booking by 30 November holds the HK$888 price. Sessions run until 18 December.

Have you done this for a firm my size?

Not as a published case, and I won't pretend otherwise. My past work is listed above.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. If the session doesn't produce at least one root cause and a possible solution, I'll refund you.

Can we talk about AI?

Yes, as long as it's practical: where AI could take real work off your team, which of your existing tools already have it built in, and what staff should never paste into it. No hype, and no demo of things you won't use.
