How we help

Three ways to work together, on their own or combined, sized to where your organization is today.

Data & AI advisory

Get real value from the data you already have, and adopt AI with your eyes open.

  • Data strategy, platforms and analytics
  • AI assistants and agents, designed to be accurate and auditable
  • Security, privacy and governance built in

Fractional CTO

Senior technology and product leadership, part time, for organizations not ready for a full-time CTO.

  • Technology and product strategy, roadmaps
  • Product UX: products people find easy to use
  • Architecture, build-or-buy and vendor decisions
  • Engineering practices, delivery and team building

Business performance consulting & coaching

Simpler operations, lower costs, clear measures, and leaders who keep improving them.

  • Opex optimization and business simplification
  • End-to-end process transformation
  • Performance diagnostics, KPIs and operating rhythm
  • One-to-one and team coaching for leaders

Our approach

Practical, measured and honest about what will and won't move the needle.

Understand

Listen first: your goals, your constraints, and where the time and money really go.

Plan

A short, prioritized plan with clear owners, costs and measures of success.

Deliver

Build, lead or coach alongside your team, rather than hand over a report and leave.

Measure

Track the results, adjust, and leave your team able to keep improving on its own.

What you can expect

Independent adviceRecommendations based on your needs, not on a vendor's products.

Responsible AIAccuracy you can check, data that stays protected, and limits stated plainly.
A practitioner's viewExperience gained doing the work across many functions of a business, so advice that holds up in practice, and help to design it, build it and explain it.

About

Emflo Advisory is a boutique product strategy, UX and data analytics consultancy, founded in 2017 by Mark Flowers and based in Los Gatos, California.

Mark is a software veteran, data nerd and global business leader based in the San Francisco Bay Area. His work brings together software, data and analytics, business operations and now AI. Having rotated through many functions of a business, from technology and data to operations and the commercial side, he brings a practitioner's experience to every engagement: advice from someone who has done the work, not only advised on it. He is a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, has lived and worked in Australia, Japan, Singapore, Canada and the USA, and speaks Japanese.

We work with founders, executives and leadership teams who want technology and data to drive the business, and who value straight answers.
