Getting Started with AI
What is AI literacy and why does it matter for my business?
AI literacy is the ability to understand, evaluate, and effectively use artificial intelligence tools in a business context. It matters because AI-literate teams identify opportunities faster, make better technology investments, and avoid costly mistakes. In 2026, AI literacy is no longer optional — it is a baseline business skill that directly impacts competitiveness, productivity, and risk management.
I'm not technical — can I still benefit from AI consulting?
Yes. The majority of clients at Tara Elzingre Consultancy come from non-technical backgrounds, including founders, operations leads, marketers, and HR professionals. Sessions translate complex AI concepts into plain English and focus on practical business outcomes rather than code. No prior technical knowledge is required.
How do I know if my business is ready for AI?
Your business is ready for AI if you have repeatable processes, accessible data (even if messy), and at least one clear pain point you want to reduce — such as time spent on admin, slow customer response, or manual reporting. A free Discovery Call assesses your current readiness in 30 minutes and identifies the highest-impact starting point.

Working Together

Are sessions delivered in person or online?
All consulting sessions are delivered online via Zoom by default, which keeps them accessible to clients across Ireland, the UK, EU, and beyond. On-site workshops and keynote speaking are available on request, primarily within Ireland and the UK.
What happens after I book a session?
After booking, you receive an immediate confirmation email with the Zoom link, calendar invite, and a short pre-session questionnaire. The questionnaire helps tailor the session to your specific challenges. Reminder emails are sent 24 hours and 1 hour before the session. Follow-up notes and recommendations are sent within 48 hours after the call.
What industries do you work with?
Engagements span finance, healthcare, retail, professional services, education, hospitality, and creative sectors. AI opportunities exist in every industry — what changes is the specific use case and risk profile. Cross-industry experience helps surface proven patterns from one sector and adapt them to another.
Credentials & Trust
Who is Tara Elzingre and what are her qualifications?

How is AI strategy consulting different from IT consulting?
IT consulting focuses on implementing specific technologies. AI strategy consulting focuses first on where AI creates the most value in your business, what success looks like, and how to get there — before any tool is purchased. It is strategy-first and vendor-neutral, which prevents over-investing in tools that don't fit your workflow.
Do you have client reviews or case studies?
Yes. Tara Elzingre Consultancy maintains a 5.0-star Google rating, with public testimonials displayed on the Services page. Written case studies and references are available on request during the Discovery Call.
AI Tools & Technology
Which AI tools do you recommend for small businesses?
Tool recommendations are always tailored to the use case, but common starting points for small businesses include ChatGPT or Claude for content and analysis, ClickUp AI for project management, Notion AI for knowledge management, and purpose-built tools for industry-specific tasks. The right stack depends on your data, budget, and team skills — which is what the Strategy Sprint maps out.
Is it safe to use AI tools with confidential business data?
It can be safe, but only with the right setup. Use enterprise or team plans (not free consumer plans), turn off data-training options, document an internal AI usage policy, and avoid pasting personal data of clients or staff without a lawful basis under GDPR. Risk and governance are covered as standard in every Strategy Sprint.
Will AI replace jobs in my company?
AI is far more likely to reshape jobs than eliminate them outright. Roles tend to shift toward higher-value work as AI absorbs repetitive tasks. The companies that benefit most invest in upskilling their existing teams rather than replacing them. Team training programmes are designed exactly for this transition.
