Our Founder's Story
We are a leading AI Transformation firm specializing in enterprise-wide AI strategy and execution, and the education that moves consultants and leaders from "knowing about AI" to becoming " trusted AI Advisors."
​
In early 2023, several previous clients reached out to The 5-Star Approach, requesting advisement in various areas of Generative AI Transformation for their organizations.
​
These skills were exceptionally rare, so we dove into the deep end, just as ChatGPT 3.5 was taking the world by storm.
​
One client asked for a white paper on the underlying architecture of machine learning models and their relevance in the finance industry. We interviewed machine learning engineers from BYU and MIT, and wrote it.
​
Then, a hedge fund asked for product development advice to help them pick better deals. We gave it, helping them translate emerging AI tech into requirements lists to automate analysis and picking tasks.
​
Following that, an AI consulting firm asked for chapter by chapter advice on a book: AI From the Break Room to the Boardroom. We did the research and informed every chapter of the book.
​
Next, the Chief AI Innovation Officer of Utah Valley University asked us to advise on new Bachelors and Masters AI degrees, and to reimagine student assessments in the context of Artificial General Intelligence. We did. We also designed a no-code AI certificate that will be accessible across all majors to all 45,000 students.
​
Soon, The 5-Star Approach was being sought out by a large, private tech company, a prestigious law firm specializing in AI, a multi-national public company, government organizations, a private equity firm, global non-profits, large training companies, healthcare organizations, and various boutique consulting firms.
​
What makes The 5-Star Approach different?
​
-
Our tech development process benefits from an unusual amount of testing and refining with stakeholders to ensure we meet adoption and satisfaction targets.​
-
Our coaching and education programs focus on helping students provide immediate value for their organizations between each weekly class cycle.
-
Our advisement is not only based on the opinions of the foremost AI experts in the world, but also on our own experiences and observations developing and launching technology at scale for decades.
Aristotle once said:
"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts."
We believe that if you only think of AI as an individual pursuit, or as a collection of isolated tools and solutions, you and your organization will fall far short of your potential.
​
Your organization has everything to lose by passively waiting, and everything to gain by engaging in a comprehensive AI transformation, so you can leap ahead of your competition in ways that you can scarcely imagine today.
​
Join us with our comprehensive methodology of AI Transformation. Powerful organizations all over the world are using these strategies to dominate their competition, and you can too.
