Summary
Most teams fail at AI adoption because they ignore the human side. Scott Howard Swain works inside your dev team to build automations they’ll actually use, not just tolerate.
The story
Most development teams struggle with AI adoption because they treat it like a software deployment instead of a human problem.
Scott Howard Swain gets this. After 30 years in tech and training his own AI system since 2018, he’s learned that successful AI workflows aren’t about the fanciest models – they’re about building systems teams actually want to use.
Here’s what makes his player-coach approach different: He doesn’t just hand you a strategy and disappear. Scott works directly within your development team to build the automations alongside your people.
The results speak for themselves. One client cut response times by 60% during their peak season while saving 25 hours per week. Not because Scott built some magical AI solution, but because he understood why the team was resisting change in the first place.
Most AI consultants come from pure tech backgrounds. Scott combines his technical expertise with cognitive empathy training – he’s been teaching communication skills since 2006 and founded a practice group that’s run over 650 meetings with 2,100+ members.
This matters more than you might think. The biggest AI implementation failures happen when teams get a system they don’t understand or trust. Scott designs workflows that feel natural to adopt because he actually listens to how your team works.
Instead of forcing your developers to adapt to yet another tool, he builds AI that adapts to them. The goal isn’t to replace human judgment – it’s to give your team their time back so they can focus on the work that actually requires their expertise.
When you’re ready to implement AI that your team will actually embrace, Scott’s the guy who makes it happen from the inside out.
