The Fractional AI Director service is offered through Phimation Strategy Group, a strategic advisory practice built specifically for owners and leaders of small private companies.
Dave Haviland's work sits at the intersection of business strategy, investor discipline, and practical execution. He brings the same framework-driven, probabilistic thinking to AI adoption that he brings to every engagement: identify the 4–6 variables that actually determine outcomes, build conviction, and act with clarity.
This service is a natural extension of 25 years advising companies exactly like yours.
