Dustin Nimmo Strategic Consulting
Bring AI in, make humans more human.
We teach people to work with AI. We get rid of digital blue-collar labor.
The gap
Give the screen work away.
Get your people back.
Email. Spreadsheets. Decks from a blank page. The work under the work. Tell me one person who feels humanized by this labor.
Twenty years of tools asked us to flatten ourselves to fit them. Then a pandemic drove us into the rectangles, and we never fully came out.
The technology is new, it is accelerating, and nobody is there to teach people. That is the gap.
COVINGTON, KENTUCKY.
What we do
We teach people to work with AI, and we get rid of digital blue-collar labor: the email, the spreadsheets, the slide decks, design, and code.
Teams and whole organizations
Ten to twenty weeks inside your organization, an engineer alongside us, until your people can run it themselves. For the ones who know they need real change.
Anyone ready to start
Workshops and trainings that get the needle moving: the knowledge and a first win, in a day or less. The easiest place to begin.
Individuals
One-on-one help setting up your own way of working with AI, and a standing seat at the table for leaders making the calls.
Leveraging AI to rehumanize work.
What happens when we work with your people
Your morning comes back. AI manages the inbox. You still send the mail.
Nobody builds a deck, a spreadsheet or a first draft from a blank page again.
Quality and speed, both. If it only gives you one, it doesn’t count.
We are not afraid to talk about the risks. AI is not a solution for everything. It has real uses you can start on now.
CALIFORNIA.
What I believe
The tech debt we inherited sat us in front of a screen. This is the chance to reverse it.
Keyboards, spreadsheets, decks, inboxes. Eight hours a day of that was never the plan for a human being.
As much a people change as a technology change.
People can only change at a pace they can tolerate.
Draw the line. Define it. Go.
What the machine takes. What stays human. What you are now free to do.
Invite AI in as a coworker, as a peer.
A role, a boundary, a seat at the table.
Where we stand
We have opinions about AI. We say them out loud.
Alignment, simply said.
The best AI alignment is in everyday work: real systems people work in, built with integrity, that you can trust. Build with integrity and it proliferates integrity.
Just because the tech can doesn’t mean the people can, or should.
There is no hacking our way through this. Restraint is a skill. The question before anything ships: who does this create?
This is political, and we will say so.
Two hundred bills in Congress and almost none connected, while the people building this ask to be trusted on their word. This is a regulated industry in the making. Companies should care about the laws and how to use this well, most of all where the rules already run deep. So we talk about it directly and honestly, and education about it should never be gatekept or paywalled. If that is why you want to work with us, good.
How we do it
When we work with you, this is how it goes.
Five moves, around one table, every time. We listen first, map the work, build it with your people, make it something you can trust, and teach until it is yours. Turn the table to see each one.
Who it is for
Three ways to work together.
Learn your world, teach you this one. Companies from small to large, and the schools, churches and nonprofits we serve.
01 · Engagements
For teams ready to change how they work
Ten to twenty weeks inside your organization, shaped around your industry, your people and your pace of change. We bring a network of experts across every kind of transformation (operations, data, learning and development, product) and leave a team that can run it.
02 · Workshops & speaking
The easiest place to start
Some people are afraid of AI, and anxious about what it means for them. That is why we do this: education is the best way to quell fear. And this is an exciting time, because it is rehumanizing us. We help people get excited and find creative, fun ways to make new things, start new things, or work with it in their job in a way that feels empowering and freeing. A day or less, with your team. Keynotes and panels on request.
03 · Advisory & one-on-one
For leaders and individuals
One-on-one help setting up your own way of working with AI, or a standing seat at your table as a former CEO, industry leader and executive coach: a straight read on AI, people and pace when the decisions are yours.
As much a people change as a technology change. Both, together, at a pace your team can hold.
With you, not for you

Investment bank · Ten weeks
A bank’s whole team, working a new way in ten weeks.
An investment bank came in wanting one person to get fast. We listened first, then rebuilt their real proposal and projection work with AI beside the team, and taught as we went. Ten weeks later the way of working was theirs.

Behavioral health network · Compliance first
Nothing moved until the data could.
A behavioral health network wanted help with clinical documentation. Compliance came first. A QA tool piloted with the clinicians who use it, protected health information kept out of every model, and the team taught to run and govern it.

Private equity · A skill, not a slide
The first draft arrives the way the partners write.
A private equity firm’s deal team was losing days to memo assembly. We built a deal-memo skill on their own past memos and rolled it out to the team. The machine carries the assembly; the partners keep the judgment.

Investment bank · the CEO’s inbox
“It changed my life. I got my morning back.”
A CEO drowning in email. We sat down together and built a morning system: AI reads the inbox, sorts every thread into three tiers, labels them, and drafts the replies that need him. He reads the drafts and he presses send. Ten weeks later he starts every day at six, on top of everything, without bothering anyone.

About
I’m Dustin Nimmo.
I believe good things happen around tables. The best moments of my life, and the best of every week, are the tables I sit down at, the people who pull up chairs, and the food we eat. That photo is one of them: my kids, my mom, and the kind of talk that only happens there. We talk about real things.
Twelve years a pastor, planting and leading congregations in Cincinnati. Then a decade in technology: building for P&G’s biggest brands at Alchemy, leading brand strategy and product at Kroger Health, and product lead at AE Studio, the agency known for its AI safety and alignment research, where I shipped my first AI products and built AI-first learning tools for young readers in an AI-first school network. Since then I’ve run AI education for a national executive cohort, sat in the boardroom and the break room with Fortune 500 teams, and most recently served as CEO of an AI agency.
I believe in a world where there is a seat at the table for every person. That is the whole circle, and it is the whole practice: make a space where everybody is heard and everybody can learn. A table. A circle. Pull up a seat.

Kind words
“Under Dustin’s guidance, we witnessed a transformation.”
Michael, CEO
He is willing to do whatever is uniquely best for each human and the team as a whole, and he isn’t afraid to think out of the box. Directly because of Dustin I was able to drastically level up in my career, and I am forever grateful.
He has a unique talent for pinpointing and resolving issues that had previously been overlooked, a skill that not only boosted our revenue but also significantly reduced the stress levels among our team. But what really sets Dustin apart is his approach to people.
Every member of our team has grown both as professional leaders and as people since Dustin has become involved. Because of Dustin, the team has never been stronger.
