“John O'Connell, from KMeans Consulting, led our LexisNexis CLM implementation at Perfect Game, using AI to review roughly 1,300 contracts and build the metadata, templates, and workflows behind the system, along with e-signature. What stood out was his ability to understand the business problem and translate it into something practical. I'd recommend him without hesitation.”

About

Operator first. Technologist second.

KMeans Consulting is led by John O'Connell, who spent 20+ years running operations before he put AI to work in them: contracts, inventory, aircraft fleets, service departments and the systems behind them.

That is the order he works in. He starts with how the work actually gets done and where it stalls, then puts AI where it removes real effort, and stays until the people doing the work are using it.

You work with John directly, from the first call through go-live. When a project needs more hands, he brings in a trusted technical partner and stays accountable for the result.

Let's put AI to work in your operation.

For owners and operations leaders with work that is stuck: a system rollout that stalled, documents piling up, or a process that lives in spreadsheets and inboxes.

  1. A free 30-minute call with John. You walk him through how the work gets done today and where it slows down.
  2. An honest read. Whether AI is the right fix, what else might be, and what it would take. If AI isn't the answer, he'll tell you.
  3. A clear next step. If there's a fit, a short written proposal with scope and timeline. If not, you still leave with what we'd do in your place.
