I help organizations navigate AI — from the inside, not the sidelines.
I'm Chad Boersema. For more than 30 years I've built the data and information systems real organizations run on — most of them inside higher education, one of the most demanding environments there is. Now I help organizations of every size get ready for AI — practically, honestly, and without the hype.
