Focused support for a specific challenge.
Bespoke programmes and fractional leadership for the problems that need senior, hands-on attention - designing AI-enabled products and services, improving operations and making sound technology choices. We work directly with businesses and brands as well as alongside consultancies, agencies and specialist providers.
Senior expertise, on the problems that matter most.
Our consulting practice brings senior expertise to a defined challenge. Engage us for a focused programme, bring in fractional leadership to steer work from within, or combine the two where it helps. Each can stand alone, shaped around what your business needs.
Programmes shaped to the outcome you’re seeking.

Discover, design, deliver.
A simple shape for project work, adapted to the challenge in front of us. Fractional leadership is a separate option and works differently.
Discover
Understand the challenge, the customer and commercial goals and the current service blueprint.
Design
Explore and prioritise opportunities, prototype the strongest ideas and shape a practical plan.
Deliver
Mobilise the agreed work with clear ownership, supporting your team or delivery partners as required.
AI-native twins.
An AI-native twin is a design and prototype of how a product, service or process could work with AI at its core. It’s a way to compare value, feasibility and trade-offs against how things work today - so you can decide what’s worth building before committing to build it.

Illustrative view. Designed well, each pass through the loop can reduce waiting and lost context and the work improves as it learns - with people reviewing the decisions that warrant it.
A senior leader to start it, steer it and leave it stronger.
Not every challenge needs a programme. Sometimes it needs experienced hands at the helm. We provide fractional leadership to initiate the work, steer delivery and build the capability to sustain it. You get the seniority of a full-time hire for a fraction of the commitment, plus a team ready to carry it on once we step back.
The right people, assembled around the work.
Every consulting engagement draws on the same senior Collective as the rest of Faire. We bring in exactly the expertise your challenge needs, for as long as it needs it, with one accountable lead throughout - then step back and leave the capability with you.
The things people ask first.
We agree the scope up front. Delivery can be led by your team, by your existing partners, or supported by us through the Collective and fractional leadership.
No. We’re platform and vendor agnostic. Your requirements, constraints and existing estate lead the choices, not a reseller relationship.
Yes. A programme and fractional leadership are independent options. Take either on its own, or combine them where the work benefits from both.
