AI adoption strategy for humanitarian and development organizations

Over the past year we have partnered with several humanitarian and development organizations navigating the same question: how to adopt AI without exposing sensitive data or outpacing their teams' capacity to absorb it. Across these engagements we reviewed digital readiness, developed usage policies, evaluated AI tools against real workflows, delivered hands-on training tailored to different teams, and built staged adoption plans that meet each organization where they are.

Digital framework review and IT service delivery for a global humanitarian organization

LWF World Service had a digital framework and a capable technical team, but delivery was siloed, governance was informal, and application rollouts lacked consistent support models. We reviewed the full digital landscape, proposed a service delivery structure that treats the IT unit as an internal consulting team, and provided hands-on support across platforms, security, and governance.

Community feedback and complaints system for improved service delivery

DRC's Turkey team was handling feedback and complaints manually, which meant cases were hard to track and reporting across sectors was inconsistent. We designed and built a digital system with role-based workflows, 9 triage routes, and real-time dashboards so every piece of feedback gets captured, routed, and resolved.
