ABOUT

The Company

Civic Dialog helps businesses move from AI uncertainty to meaningful, people-centered transformation. We help you democratize AI and automation solutions that empower teams, not replace them, by turning your best people into solution hunting superheroes, providing the training, guidance, project structure, governance, policy, and ROI measurement you need to transform the way your company operates.

Instead of investing in new software or another consultant project, you have the internal capability to identify, scope, architect, test, and deploy safe, accurate, and effective AI, agents, and automation. Every employee is using generative AI reflexively. Not for rewriting emails and creating vague and impersonal content, but for arming themselves with more information. By learning how to solve business problems.

Your business differentiates by operating leaner, faster, and with an internal engine of innovative top performers. Employees who are equipped to be the best and most effective at what they do in the world.

I'm the founder, Erik. If you're still reading I'd love to work with you on turning your company into one like I describe above. It's something that I believe will define the winners of this AI adoption wave/ride/scary journey we're all on, and time-to-mastery and the compounding effects of early ROI are factors within your control. I believe my approach can shift those factors in your favor.

You can start with:
A free 10-minute AI Readiness Assessment to benchmark your organization’s maturity and plan next steps.

And if you want to explore working together, possible formats include:
-Lunch & Learn sessions for rapid, in-house awareness of generative AI and automation possibilities.
-Hands-on AI & Automation Cohort program designed to upskill your people, build your first agents, and establish a sustainable internal capability
-Fractional CAIO advisor where we adjust the pace, roadmap, and approach to whatever needs and constraints your business may have.

I hope to meet and solve problems with you.
