Where AI possibility meets profitability

AI can’t be added to business as usual.

Mid-market B2B businesses are big enough for sluggish complexity, but too small to throw money at problems.

And that’s really good news for you.  

AI doesn’t simplify complexity; it compounds it. Which is why bigger competitors pouring money into AI are already stalling. More isn’t better.

To pull ahead, first upgrade your operating system: the underlying “rules of the game” for how your company operates and creates value. Then add AI.

You generate ROI and a growth flywheel when AI’s the engine for a clear, focused, next-ready business.

If AI is a game, which one are you playing?

“Hi, I’m Jen Rice.

I’ve been working in customer-led strategy for B2B businesses for over three decades.

My superpower? Simplifying complexity. And the fastest, easiest way to do that is to start with the customer and work backwards. It’s a high-leverage approach that gives you growth, profitability, and competitive advantage.

Now AI’s necessitating this exact shift: cross-functional teams organized around customers and outcomes.

I previously served as B2B Sector Lead and CX Principal at Forrester in San Francisco. Now I’m a global citizen, advising and speaking around the world about building what’s next.
