Do you take Calgary clients in person?

Yes. Shawn Moore travels to Calgary quarterly; multi-day on-site sessions are standard. Most engagements combine on-site working sessions in Calgary Metropolitan Region with weekly video steering meetings between visits.

What does an engagement look like for a mid-market Calgary company?

The typical sequence is a 2–4 week paid AI Growth Audit ($15K–$35K range), followed by a fixed-scope 90-Day Execution Blueprint ($25K–$50K range). Most companies decide on the long-term advisory shape — fractional CAIO, internal hire, or quarterly cadence — only after one full 90-day cycle.

Why Calgary Metropolitan Region mid-market is at an AI inflection point

Calgary is the operational heart of Canadian energy and one of the country's fastest-diversifying mid-market economies, and its mid-market is in the middle of an uneven AI inflection. RSM's 2025 Middle Market AI Survey found 91% of mid-market organizations across the US and Canada now use generative AI in operations, while Microsoft's June 2025 Canadian SMB Report put national adoption at 71% — with 90% adoption among digital-native firms.

Calgary's economic base is shifting faster than the national narrative suggests. Energy, agri-food, logistics, and a growing tech cluster (Platform Calgary, the University of Calgary's School of Business AI programs) are all pulling on the same executive talent pool. AI use cases in Calgary skew operational — predictive maintenance, field optimization, permitting automation — where the ROI signature is measured in downtime and margin, not brand.

Alberta-specific considerations

Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA Alberta) governs private-sector data handling and requires a slightly different posture than BC's PIPA or federal PIPEDA. Energy sector clients also operate under AER, CER, and ISNetworld frameworks that need to be mapped before any AI use case interacts with operational data.

The Calgary mid-market has strong operating talent and thin executive AI depth. The recurring pattern is CEOs asking data teams to lead strategy — a role most data teams are neither hired nor structured to perform.

How we work with Calgary clients

Most Calgary engagements run on a hybrid cadence: on-site working sessions when scope warrants, weekly video steering meetings, and async document review between sessions. Shawn Moore travels to Calgary quarterly; multi-day on-site sessions are standard. Engagements can be invoiced in CAD or USD; corporate accounts payable in either currency are routine.
