Make better business decisions with CEO-designed AI.
The Smarter Way to Solve Business Problems
Most companies are using AI too small.
Employees writing faster emails is not transformation.
Real AI leverage happens when capable leaders apply it to pricing, operations, planning, forecasting, execution, and decision-making.
That shift produced $650,000 in measurable business value for one executive in eight months. That is the standard we build toward.
Decision Check
Free Tool
A five-minute pressure test for a decision you are already sitting on.
Bring one real decision, not a topic. Whether to add the second truck. Whether the builder asking for 45-day terms is worth it. Whether to promote the inside sales lead or hire from outside. Answer four questions about the situation and you get back three things: what is actually going on underneath it, whether it materially matters, and what decision moves the business forward. It was built out of forty years of running companies, not out of a prompt library.
The Companies That Thrive in the AI Era Won’t Be the Ones Waiting to Catch Up.

WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO
Most companies do not have an AI tool problem.
They have a leadership leverage problem.
The tools are widely available. The real advantage comes from knowing where AI creates measurable business value — and equipping the right people to use it on the work that actually drives the business forward.
Six documents and a facilitator guide that teach your people how to ask AI a question that returns something usable, and how to check the answer before anyone quotes off it. One person already on your payroll runs it in 75 minutes. No trainer, no software purchase, no IT project. Built for lumber and building materials dealers, licensed to the company rather than the seat, and free whether you ever buy anything else.
The build hour and the decision meeting, sold together as the AIGP Rollout Kit. Your team leaves the build hour with a working prompt for a task they do every week and a shared context system so twenty people do not build twenty different habits. Sixty days later, the owner-level session ends in five written decisions and a 90-day plan. $995, one company license, no per-seat charge and no renewal.
Some owners want a second set of eyes on the decisions AI cannot make for them. I work hourly, directly with the owner or CEO, on the work that moves the P&L: pricing, forecasting, operational planning, leadership alignment, and execution. No retainer, no project scope, no team to manage. Forty years of running companies applied to whatever you are actually wrestling with this quarter.
the $650K Tara Manufacturing story
AI Growth Partners focused on executive leverage first — applying structured AI workflows to operational planning, communication, analysis, and decision-making tied directly to business performance.
In just eight months, the initiative produced approximately $650,000 in measurable business value.
Not from replacing people.
Not from a massive software rollout.
From one executive using AI strategically on high-value business responsibilities.
Full disclosure: I serve as interim CEO and Chairman of the Board of Tara Manufacturing. The $650,000 figure is an internal estimate using a documented business-value framework applied to eight months of one executive’s work.

TESTIMONIALS
“Whenever I have a question about using AI more effectively, John is my go-to resource.”
I have known John Marshall for years, dating back to when he was President of Wilson Lumber in Alabama.
He has fully embraced the rapid evolution of this technology—particularly as it applies to the LBM industry.
John has personally helped me better understand how AI can improve efficiency and productivity in my consulting business.
He is straightforward, honest, knowledgeable, and practical in his approach. I recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to better understand and apply AI.
“His work in artificial intelligence combines with all his past experiences to make his recommendations especially valuable.”
I first met John when he was writing a profile of Wilson Lumber when my magazine named it ProSales Dealer of the Year.
John was COO at the time, and it was immediately clear that this guy knew how to run a top-notch lumberyard and lead a team. Wilson’s executives had high expectations and worked hard to achieve their goals. Then and now, John searched constantly for ways to improve processes. His work in artificial intelligence combines with all his past experiences to make his recommendations especially valuable.
