Do you take Minneapolis clients in person?

Yes. Shawn Moore travels to the Twin Cities on request. Most engagements combine on-site working sessions in Minneapolis–Saint Paul with weekly video steering meetings between visits.

What does an engagement look like for a mid-market Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis–Saint Paul mid-market is at an AI inflection point

Minneapolis is the Upper Midwest's largest business market and home to an unusually deep concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters per capita, 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, but the same survey flagged that governance maturity and internal expertise still lag adoption sharply across every US metro.

The Twin Cities host a disproportionate share of US mid-market and Fortune 500 headquarters — retail, health, food, financial services, and industrial. AI adoption here is disciplined and operational, and the buyers are unusually experienced.

Minnesota-specific considerations

Minnesota's Consumer Data Privacy Act took effect July 31, 2025 and adds AI-specific consumer rights beyond the baseline of most state privacy laws. Health engagements navigate HIPAA and Minnesota-specific health privacy rules; insurance engagements navigate the NAIC AI Model Bulletin.

The Twin Cities' operating talent bench is deep and disciplined; the strategic ownership layer at the CEO tier is what most engagements install.

How we work with Minneapolis clients

Most Minneapolis 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 the Twin Cities on request. Engagements are invoiced in USD; Canadian entities of US clients can be billed in CAD on request.
