Engagement architecture
Three layers. One practice.
Far West Consulting is structured as one practice with three layers — the AI work that leads, the communications and learning practices that support it, and the legacy capability we still deliver by referral. Engagements typically start in Focus, draw on Active as the work calls for it, and graduate to advisory once the rollout is operational.
§ Focus · AI integration and change
The lead practice. Productized engagements with locked scopes. This is what most clients buy first.
AI Workflow Diagnostic
A 1–2 week fixed-scope assessment that maps where AI fits the work your team is already doing. Founder's Edition for single-function questions; Standard for multi-function rollouts.
1–2 weeks · fixed scope

A 4–8 week workflow build with adoption support — tool selection, governance, integration, training. The full sequence from "what should we build" to "the team is using it."
4–8 weeks · embedded

Workshops, executive sessions, and role-based playbooks. Half-day to 5-day intensives, plus per-seat open enrollment for the catalog courses.
Half-day to 5-day · cohort or custom

Ongoing AI guidance and change support after an initial engagement. Three tiers: Essential (~8 hrs/mo), Standard (15–25 hrs/mo), Comprehensive (25+ hrs/mo).

Three practices Far West Consulting actively delivers, drawn from fifteen years of communications and change work in Asia-Pacific. Used standalone or alongside the AI engagements above. AI-augmented where it adds value — never AI-replaced where judgment is the deliverable.
