Evolvity

Helping people and businesses evolve in an AI world.

For the first time, intelligence is abundant. What matters now is the judgement to shape it, and the leadership to truly understand it.

The shift

The rules have changed.

Every previous technology wave rewarded whoever had the best tools. AI broke that pattern. The advantage now belongs to whoever has the sharpest judgement and the confidence to use it.
Abundant intelligence changes everything. It's compounding faster than anything that came before — and the gap between those who understand it and those who don't is widening.
AI isn't software you install. It's raw intelligence that must be shaped by someone who understands the work.
Most adoption fails because it starts with the technology. Start with the people closest to the problem and work outwards.
The missing mental model

AI is not software.

Software does what it was designed to do. AI extends what you already know, sharpening your thinking, deepening your reach, working with the expertise you've spent years building.

Once someone experiences that, their own context reflected back, their own judgement amplified, something shifts. Adoption stops being imposed. It becomes personal.

AI is not software — light shaping water
Where we work

One worldview. Three arenas.

Technology only works when it's shaped by the people closest to the problem. Three decades in the built environment taught us that. The thinking applies everywhere.

Building Intelligence

Nearly three decades working with the people closest to the problem, on live sites, under real pressure, where technology only survives if it earns trust. This is where the thinking comes from.

Team collaborating — Amplify Expertise
SMEs

Amplify Expertise

SMEs are the engine of UK business, and their people already carry deep knowledge. They don't need another platform. They need the skills, confidence, and curiosity to channel what they already know through AI.

The AI-Native Founder

No previous generation has had this level of cognitive leverage. AI lets a single founder think, test, and build at a pace that once demanded whole teams. But speed without judgement is just noise. We help founders pair capability with clarity.

What we do

We build the capability inside your organisation.

Most organisations treat AI like a software rollout. We start from the other end entirely — with the people who already know the work better than any vendor ever will.

We develop literacy, confidence, and a direct relationship with AI — so capability compounds from within. People before policy. Understanding before governance. Always.

AI Strategy & Adoption
Helping leadership teams develop a genuine understanding of AI before making commitments. Capability before compliance. Human judgement stays in the loop, non-negotiable.
AI Skills & Literacy Programmes
Hands-on boot camps and workshops that build real capability. Co-working on actual business problems, not classroom theory.
AI in the Physical World
Where intelligence meets buildings, infrastructure, and live operations. Digital twins, smart buildings, and the next wave of construction technology.

Founder

Nearly thirty years riding waves of innovation: mobile, SaaS, cloud, and now AI. Each wave different, but the lesson always the same. Technology only works when it starts with the people closest to the problems.

A career spent building things that people actually use, in industries where getting it wrong has consequences you can see from the road. That's where the instinct for human-centric thinking was forged. Not in a framework, but in hard-won experience.

A personal breakdown changed everything about how this work approaches pressure, pace, and success. Capability without wellbeing is fragile. That's not a position statement. It's lived experience.

Giving back

Entrepreneurship with an AI mindset.

Working with early-stage founders who believe they can change the world and might be early enough in their journey to still need someone in their corner. Not giving answers. Helping them develop judgement, use AI as genuine cognitive leverage, and build with curiosity alongside confidence.

The mindset matters as much as the technology. Empowerment. Belief. And a genuine care for the person behind the ideas, because we're not just building companies. We're shaping lives.

When it clicks

Something shifts.

There's a moment — and you'll know it when it happens — where AI stops being a tool and starts feeling like a trusted partner. Every one of these happened.

The sceptic
A brilliant tech founder, exited and successful, who didn't believe AI was truly intelligent. Then he used it on a major personal project and saw the depth of what it could do. Everything clicked.
The safety manager
Comprehensive health and safety training materials produced in under an hour. Work that used to take weeks. Not because the AI replaced them, because it worked with them.
The land deal
Property due diligence that would normally take weeks. Planning data, underground assets, comparative valuations, risk analysis, all surfaced in a single conversation. The depth of insight changed everything.
The legal fight
Two legal battles. Over two years. No solicitor. AI as thinking partner, strategist, and devil's advocate — role-playing the opposition's arguments, stress-testing every move. Won both cases.
On wellbeing

Capability without wellbeing is fragile.

AI accelerates everything, including the pressure. Without boundaries, it feeds the always-on mentality rather than easing it.

Used with intention, it becomes something different: a thinking partner for the moments when you need to step back, reflect, and protect the sustainability that makes good work possible. Alongside human connection, not instead of it.

On the AI mindset

Curiosity first. Then everything else.

It starts with giving yourself the space to explore. To try, to get things wrong, to discover what becomes possible when you bring your own thinking to the conversation.

The organisations that thrive won't be the ones with the best tools. They'll be the ones that trusted their people to lead the way.

Let's have the conversation.

Whether you're exploring AI for the first time or rethinking an approach that isn't working, we'd welcome the chance to talk.
