AI Advisory for SMBs: AI Readiness & Strategy Guidance Services Announced

Share this news:

M&M Kelly introduces guidance for businesses adopting AI, addressing the leadership, accountability, and internal preparation needed to turn early experimentation into practical applications.

-- M&M Kelly has announced AI advisory services for SMBs facing pressure to adopt artificial intelligence without a clear sense of where to start. The firm helps leadership teams assess whether the business is ready for AI, decide where it could be genuinely useful, and work through the practical changes needed to support it.

The announcement comes as AI use among smaller businesses continues to rise. According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s 2025 Empowering Small Business report, 58% of small businesses use generative AI, compared with 40% in 2024 and 23% in 2023. For business leaders, however, deciding to use AI is often much easier than deciding what to do with it.

M&M Kelly works with organizations at this stage, before significant time and money have been committed to tools or large-scale projects. Its advisory work helps leadership teams look at how the business currently operates, where AI may solve a worthwhile problem, and what needs to be in place for a project to work beyond an initial pilot.

The firm also helps address the disconnect that can develop between executive expectations and day-to-day operations. A leadership team may want the company to “do something with AI” while individual departments are already experimenting with different tools. Without shared priorities and clear responsibility, those efforts can remain isolated or create more work rather than less.

M&M Kelly’s advisory services cover AI readiness assessments, strategy development, governance and policy, leadership alignment, vendor decisions, and ongoing executive guidance. Rather than treating AI adoption as a technology project alone, the firm focuses on the decisions and responsibilities that need to be worked out for useful ideas to become part of normal business operations.

This approach is shaped by founder and principal consultant Mitch Kelly’s three decades of experience across complex, high-stakes organizations. After seeing organizations in very different fields struggle with decision-making and accountability, Kelly founded M&M Kelly around the view that AI initiatives often stall because of leadership challenges rather than shortcomings in the technology itself.
