Behavioural-science background. Currently advising senior teams at HSBC and Wren Sterling on the human side of AI adoption. Writes here when the pattern is worth naming.
Who we are.
A small consultancy navigating human behaviour around AI for senior leaders in regulated industries. Calm under load. Honest about cost.
We started human-being-ai because every AI rollout we walked into was being measured by the wrong things. Throughput up, burnout up, dashboards green, people quietly disengaging. We named what we were seeing — silent veto, compounding fatigue, performed success — and the work became actionable. That is the whole company.
The work has four verbs.
- 01
Seek
Listen for the patterns, not the noise. The first week of any engagement is reading the weather.
- 02
Name
Give the pattern its name. A 4/10 score doesn't tell you what to do; silent veto does.
- 03
Brief
Hand back a bearing the senior team can act on — not a deck, not a roadmap. A short, honest read.
- 04
Hand off
Then leave. The work belongs to the team doing it. We come back when the weather changes.
The navigators.
Senior advisory work, mostly in financial services. Cases aren't published by name; if you'd like a reference conversation, ask.
HSBC·Wren Sterling
We publish the patterns we find, not the clients we find them in. Engagements are confidential by default; named references happen only with explicit permission. The Journal is where our learnings become public; the bearing email is where they land in your inbox first.
If the weather's changing where you sit, take the bearing or write to us directly.
