Our Story

Who we are

We are a boutique consulting firm in Europe and North America.

We help CHROs, CIOs and their teams with the digital transformation of work.

We believe that ensuring people adopt new, digital ways of working is the most overlooked—and most critical—success factor in digital and AI transformation.

What we do

We help large organizations shift from traditional, siloed HR and IT initiatives to an integrated, AI-powered approach to digital transformation that drives measurable productivity gains. Our work is:

  • Experience-Centric – Ensuring AI and digital initiatives remove friction, making work easier and more effective for employees.
  • Data-Driven – Leveraging predictive metrics to set the right priorities and accelerate impact.
  • Co-Creative – Engaging cross-functional teams in designing and scaling AI-enabled ways of working.

Our leadership team

TIPeople LT scaled

Our founders share a common history at CEB, now Gartner. Having witnessed traditional, top-down digital transformation initiatives fall short, we saw a critical gap: the adoption of new ways of working by those actually doing the work. United by this insight, we built TI People to help companies drive AI and digital transformation with a focus on work adoption and the experience of work—ensuring real, sustained impact on productivity and engagement.
