AI Opportunity Assessment

Move from uncertainty to confident, wise stewardship of AI in your business.

A practical, faith-aligned approach to understanding how AI can strengthen your team, serve your customers, and honor what God has entrusted to you.

How it works

Understand Your Business and Calling

We begin by learning your goals, constraints, and the people God has placed under your leadership — so recommendations honor both your mission and your values.

During the pre-engagement Discovery call we discuss:

  • Your company's mission, vision, and values,
  • The high level structure of the business, and
  • How your AI ambitions align with your mission, vision, values, and goals.

We will then distribute a survey to your employees to learn:

  • Any experience they already have with AI, at work or at home,
  • Where they see opportunities for AI to improve the business, and
  • Their concerns about AI.

Reveal Your AI Opportunities

We identify practical use cases rooted in service, integrity, and operational excellence — avoiding hype and focusing on what genuinely strengthens your work.

The first week of the engagement is focused on identifying potential AI opportunities for your business.

I interview 8 - 12 key players in your business to understand:

  • Key workflows and their component steps,
  • Critical handoffs between teams or systems,
  • Opportunities for error reduction, efficiencies, improved employee experience, or improved customer experience

I then translate these learnings into a small set of workflow maps and a combined list of potential AI opportunities.

Validate ROI & Prioritize with Wisdom

Not every AI idea is wise or right. We help you evaluate impact, stewardship implications, human effects, and financial return so you can choose the best next step.

Why now

Immediate, practical efficiency

AI can reduce repetitive burdens and create margin — giving your team more time for meaningful, relational, or creative work.

Competitive positioning

Other companies are moving fast. You can move wisely — using AI in ways that reflect your values and strengthen your witness.

A steward's responsibility in a changing world

Technology amplifies impact. Christian leaders have a unique calling to ensure it's used with discernment, care for people, and respect for truth.

Common concerns

“We can't afford to implement AI.”

Wise stewardship means starting small. We help you identify quick-win projects with immediate value — without overbuilding or overcommitting.

“We're too small.”

Some of the most meaningful, God-honoring uses of AI are in small and mid-sized businesses where leaders know their people well.

“AI doesn't matter in our industry.”

AI often adds value not by transforming your industry but by strengthening everyday operations — helping you serve customers more effectively and sustainably.

About Russ

Hi, I’m Russ McGuire. As a Christian and long-time business strategist, my work is shaped by a simple belief: leadership is stewardship. God entrusts business owners with people, resources, and opportunities — including new technologies like AI.

For more than 30 years, I’ve helped organizations navigate major technology shifts.

  • In the mid-1990s, I co-founded an early web development firm that helped businesses embrace the power of the Internet.
  • When the iPhone was launched in 2007, I wrote The Power of Mobility to help leaders prepare for the impact of smartphones on their businesses.
  • More recently, I authored The A,B,C,D's of Glorifying God with Your Business, encouraging leaders to align their work with their faith.

Today, I help Christian business owners use AI wisely, faithfully, and effectively — creating value while honoring the people and purposes God has placed in their care.
