Independent AI workflow practice

Fix the workflow before you add more AI.

Rivington helps growing companies improve recurring workflows where fragmented information, unclear decisions and repeated handoffs consume time and capacity.

We examine how the work actually runs, clarify what should change, and design a practical path to implementation, using AI and automation where they improve the outcome.

One workflow. Three weeks. $9,500 fixed fee.

Where is the work becoming expensive?

A workflow can become expensive before anyone makes the final decision. Experts assemble information, managers resolve recurring exceptions, teams repeat checks, and customers wait for an answer. Rivington examines where that effort is necessary, where it compensates for a design problem, and what would need to change.

01Experienced people repeatedly rebuilding the context for a decision.
02Approvals waiting because evidence or ownership is unclear.
03AI-generated work requiring extensive checking and correction.
04Cases moving between teams without a confirmed next owner.

These are situations to investigate, not assumptions about every organization.

From diagnosis to implementation

Start with one workflow. Establish how it operates today, identify the source of delay or inconsistency, and agree a practical redesign. Your team can implement the resulting plan, use it to brief an existing provider, or scope a separate implementation engagement with Rivington.

Understand and redesign

The three-week diagnostic examines the current workflow, establishes available baseline measures, clarifies decisions and ownership, and produces a practical redesign and implementation roadmap.

Implement a bounded change

Where appropriate, a separately scoped implementation puts the agreed design into practice. This may include intake, routing, decision rules, human review, workflow configuration and suitable low-code automation.

Test and adopt

Implementation includes agreed acceptance criteria, testing of routine and exception cases, and a clear operating handoff. The scope defines who owns ongoing operation and support.

The $9,500 diagnostic does not include implementation or ongoing support. Implementation is scoped separately based on systems, stakeholders, and technical requirements.

Rivington can work alongside an internal operations, automation or technical team. The engagement clarifies the business rules, responsibilities, exception paths and requirements that the team needs to implement and operate the workflow.

Deeper software engineering, security and data architecture may require the client’s technical team or specialist partners.

Relevant operating experience

Work completed in prior roles, not Rivington client engagements

Five Iron Golf

Ross helped turn one-off launches into repeatable operating and go-to-market systems as Five Iron Golf grew from one location to more than 20. That work informs Rivington’s focus on clear ownership, repeatable processes and systems that can support growth.

Tourism Ireland

Ross delivered major commercial and brand partnerships across multiple organizations and stakeholders. That experience informs Rivington’s approach to aligning participants, coordinating delivery and making responsibilities clear.

When this is the right starting point

Good fit

  • ✓One recurring workflow is visibly underperforming.
  • ✓The problem has a meaningful cost, capacity, customer, or quality consequence.
  • ✓Several roles or systems participate in the process.
  • ✓AI or automation is already involved or is being considered.
  • ✓A senior leader is willing to sponsor the work.
  • ✓The company can provide access to relevant people and information.
Revenue-generating B2B software, technology-enabled services, and expert-services companies past the earliest product-market-fit stage. Typically 25 to 250 employees.

Not a fit

  • ×You need a single automation built without examining the process.
  • ×You want general AI training.
  • ×You want a company-wide AI strategy presentation.
  • ×You are looking for outsourced software engineering only.
  • ×The workflow has no clear business consequence.
  • ×Leadership is not willing to inspect how the work actually happens.

What does AI workflow redesign actually look like?

These illustrative workflow designs explore how information, decisions, ownership and exceptions could be organized. They are not client work or measured results.

Led by an operator, not a software vendor.

Rivington is led by Ross McLaughlin, an operator whose work has focused on turning fragmented, judgment-heavy processes into clearer and more scalable systems.

Ross works across operating strategy, workflow design, AI and automation, decision ownership, implementation, and adoption. His role is to identify the actual business constraint, translate it into a workable operating design, and help the organization put that design into practice.

Rivington does not sell a preferred platform or recommend automation where the workflow is not ready for it.

Bring one workflow that is not working as it should.

In a 20-minute fit call, we will determine whether the problem is specific enough, consequential enough, and accessible enough for the diagnostic.
