About Evolutio Consulting
The last 50 years have seen the lifespan of a business model shrink dramatically, from 15 to just 5 years. In an era defined by the AI revolution, the pace of disruptive change has further accelerated, and businesses face unprecedented challenges to how they operate.
On the flip side, Generative AI has also democratised AI for vast numbers of individuals and businesses, providing them with unparalleled opportunities for growth, as well as improved productivity and creativity, and an unmatched window to leap-frog existing technologies and get ahead of the competition.
While the scale and nature of disruption are beyond control, the response to it and ability to tap new opportunities is not!
Evolutio Consulting, inspired by the Latin word for “evolution,” is more than an advisory and training company. We are your strategic partner in both navigating and thriving amidst the Generative AI revolution.

Our APproach
Human-Centric
Approach
The best tools are worth nothing if people do not use them. Winning over hearts and minds is therefore a big part of implementing new technology. We guide leaders to recognise and address the underlying fears and uncertainties of their people, while helping them to build excitement and confidence in using AI among their teams.
Future-ready
CapaBilities
Succeeding with AI requires more than just the right tools. Through customised training, we help teams develop AI-literary, and enable then to become comfortable about “copiloting” with AI. Just as importantly, we support in building key human-centric skills that AIs cannot replicate such as communication and problem solving.
Quick Wins &
Rapid Prototyping
As distinct from other technologies, Generative AI affords businesses the ability to rapidly reap practical and commercial benefits in weeks (or even days) as opposed to months or years. We support you in prioritising and rapidly prototyping high-value use cases, while adopting an approach that allows your team to learn-by-doing.
Implementation
& Scaling
Business value is ultimately gained by moving projects from pilots to widespread adoption. By taking into account your organisation’s specific operational ‘DNA’ (e.g., IT and data infrastructure, processes, ways of working, culture), we support you in developing and implementing a holistic roadmap to reach implementation at scale.
