RSW Consulting brings more than 40 years of executive leadership to the questions AI raises: where it fits, what it's worth, and how to lead an organization through the change.
AI is a business decision before it is a technology decision. I help leadership teams decide where to invest, what results to expect, and how to bring their people along.
Ongoing counsel for owners, CEOs and boards weighing what AI means for their business.
A clear-eyed review of your strategy, processes, data and people, and where AI could realistically help.
A prioritized plan tied to the P&L, so AI spending is judged on the results it delivers.
Technology is the easy part. I help leaders prepare their organization to adopt new ways of working.

Scott Wilks is a seasoned business executive with more than 40 years of leadership experience across the healthcare, pharmaceutical, and business services sectors. Throughout his career, he has led complex organizations, managed businesses with revenues exceeding $500 million, and driven strategic growth, operational improvements, acquisitions, and organizational transformation.
Having held senior executive positions with significant financial and operational accountability, Scott understands the challenges facing business leaders. From managing profitability and building high-performing teams to navigating competitive markets and leading organizational change, his career has focused on turning business strategy into measurable results.
Today, as Founder and Principal Consultant of RSW Consulting, Scott is bringing his executive experience to a new area of focus: helping medium and large organizations navigate the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence.
Scott sees AI as one of the most significant business transformations of our time. Yet he believes the greatest challenge for organizations is not understanding what AI is capable of doing. It is determining where AI makes business sense, how to integrate it effectively, and how to achieve meaningful returns on investment.
His approach is business-first, technology-second.
Rather than focusing on technology for its own sake, Scott works from the perspective of the CEO and executive leadership team, connecting AI opportunities to strategic priorities, operational efficiency, customer experience, profitability, and long-term competitive advantage.
Through RSW Consulting, his focus is on helping organizations assess their AI readiness, identify high-value opportunities, establish practical adoption strategies, and navigate the organizational changes required for successful implementation.
Scott brings a perspective shaped by decades of real-world executive leadership, combined with a commitment to understanding how emerging AI technologies are reshaping the way businesses operate.
He believes the organizations best positioned to benefit from AI will not necessarily be those adopting it fastest, but those making the smartest decisions about where, why, and how to apply it.
His mission through RSW Consulting is straightforward: help business leaders move beyond the AI hype and turn emerging technology into sound business strategy, measurable performance improvements, and sustainable competitive advantage.
