How Smokejumper works →Education begins the work
Start with your people.
Keep learning together.
AI creates uncertainty for employees as well as owners. We address it from the beginning. The whole company learns what AI could do, how it could help them and how they will help shape its role.
Education continues through assessment, strategy, development, testing and everyday operation. Workforce Intelligence connects learning to people’s responsibilities, career development and personal interests.
Adopt AI
Build confidence through participation, thorough testing and a path into everyday work suited to each deliverable.
Partner with AI
Combine human expertise with AI to expand what the company can accomplish. This is where we aim for transformation and outsized results, measured against business goals.
The innovation center
Develop the future.
Keep today’s business running.
A separate, controlled R&D lab brings AI professionals and your company’s people together to develop and thoroughly test new capabilities. It creates room to explore beyond the initial mandate while keeping changes to operational scope deliberate.
The professional lab team
AI professionals, engineers, data scientists and product and program managers develop and thoroughly test the work in a separate innovation environment.
Innovation Captain
A person assigned by the company coordinates its participation, helps manage workflow-specific AI Chaperones and connects their work to the program.
AI Chaperones
Company employees represent the people who do a particular job. They work shoulder to shoulder with AI engineers to shape, develop and test the deliverables.
AI Proactive Prediction
Model your company.
Examine the path forward.
We model your systems, processes and people to examine how proposed changes could unfold. Real data is used where available and permitted; simulated data fills gaps or avoids exposing restricted information.
The model connects decisions, dependencies and measures to the strategy. Predictions are compared with actual results as work progresses.
