AI strategy & implementation for entrepreneurs
I am James Pratt, founder and AI consultant. For over 20 years, I have helped entrepreneurs and organisations implement change with confidence – from public sector digital transformation to building scalable business systems. Today, my focus is helping founders and small-medium teams move from confusion to clarity to execution using the WHĀKĀ‑6 Framework™. As a Deaf/disabled indigenous entrepreneur, I bring lived experience in accessibility, equity, and inclusive cultural design to everything I do.

Strategy, governance, and practical delivery
With a Master of Communications and Information Management and a Bachelor’s in Management and Marketing, I bring strategic thinking to every engagement. Over 20 years of experience across public sector digital transformation, not‑for‑profit governance, and practical delivery has shaped my approach: evidence‑based, relationship‑first, and focused on sustainable outcomes. I have worked with government agencies, charitable trusts, and entrepreneurs – delivering audit‑ready solutions that respect cultural values and drive real change.
Track record – 20+ years delivering complex projects across diverse sectors and stakeholder environments.
Governance expertise – Public sector and not‑for‑profit experience means your solutions are compliant, audit‑safe, and built to scale.
Cultural grounding – Strong commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi, accessibility, and equity in every strategy I develop
