Let's build AI solutions that work and deliver real-world results.

We help you build the AI skills and understanding you need for the next step in your career. The focus is on understanding AI trade-offs, communicating clearly about AI possibilities and pitfalls, and making the right decision when leading or contributing to AI-driven change.

We conduct applied AI research on how agentic AI can be implemented as part of the workforce. The work focuses on real operational environments, and is carried out in collaboration with universities. The goal is to test what works in practice and turn research into approaches organizations can actually use.

We help organizations build and use AI systems that work for them in daily real-world operations. The focus is on choosing the realistic use cases, integrating AI into existing processes, and making sure the systems deliver reliable results in day-to-day business.
We help professionals find AI roles that build on their existing skills and experience. The focus is on understanding how your background translates to AI work, what additional skills are needed, and which roles are realistic next steps. Together we develop a concrete AI transition plan.

Dr. Tor Bøe-Lillegraven is a data and AI leader with experience building and scaling AI systems in complex, regulated environments.
He has worked across digital marketplaces, asset-heavy operations, and financial services, and has held CDO, CISO, and CTO roles.
His background spans AI, data, security, and regulation, with current research focused on ambidextrous AI agents.

Partnering with Tor is an AI agent designed specifically to build and stress-test high-stakes AI decisions.
Together, we look across the full AI system - including processes, technology, data, risks, and human decision points - to surface where AI initiatives are likely to fail at scale.
The focus is on exposing business opportunities, trade-offs, and risks early, so decisions can be made with a clear view of operational, regulatory, and organizational impact.

Our team has extensive experience in building and scaling AI systems across various industries. With a focus on complex, regulated environments, we bring a wealth of knowledge to help you navigate the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence.

Our coaching helps people become the most capable, confident, and strategically powerful version of themselves - professionally and personally.
My approach blends deep psychological insight, first-principles clarity, building on lessons learnt from two decades of experience leading complex transformations in global organisations.
Well, this is not therapy. My role is to challenge you - wisely, compassionately, relentlessly.
Step out of the comfort zone to get clarity. Cut through the noise, and accelerate your growth. This is the ground we will cover together:
1. Clarify where AI actually makes sense
We start by understanding your business, constraints, and goals. Together we identify where AI can realistically add value — and where it won’t — so effort isn’t wasted on the wrong problems.
2. Design AI systems that fit your business
We help turn those choices into practical AI systems that work with your processes, people, and technology. This includes stress-testing assumptions, risks, and dependencies before they become expensive problems.
3. Make sure it works in practice
We stay focused on outcomes: whether the system is used, reliable, and delivering the effect you expect. If it doesn’t hold up in real operations, we adjust or stop.
1. Tap into our research on ambidextrous AI agents
You can build on our ongoing research into how AI agents balance autonomy and control in real work settings, including how they interact with people, processes, and rules.
2. Test ideas in realistic environments
We help move research beyond lab settings by studying agentic AI in real operational contexts, often in collaboration with universities and practitioners.
3. Turn research into usable insights
We focus on translating findings into implications for system design, decision-making, and organizational use, so the research informs practice rather than staying theoretical.
1. Map your AI experience honestly
We look at what you have actually done with AI - systems, data, decisions, failures - and how that translates to roles that involve real AI work, not just titles.
2. Identify realistic AI paths
We explore concrete options such as senior IC roles, AI leadership, applied research, or system ownership, and the skills, exposure, and risks each path involves.
3. Choose a direction and act
We help you decide where to focus and turn that choice into specific steps, so you move toward an AI role that fits your strengths and how you want to work.
