Our Story
Strategy led transformation for the AI era rooted in years of hands-on delivery.
2010–2022: Built on Web Craft
Halyard Consulting began in 2010 as a website development company focused on e-commerce, SEO, and content. We helped organizations launch high-performing sites, attract qualified traffic, and communicate clearly. Those years taught us to map workflows, understand audiences, and measure outcomes. Not just ship pages.
2023: The Inflection
As AI tools matured, clients needed more than “a site”, they needed systems: automation, chat and voice agents, data flows, and governance. In 2023 we made a deliberate pivot from pure web work to a strategy-first consulting firm for ethical, AI-powered transformation.
What didn’t change: our belief that technology must serve people. We kept our bias for clarity, accessibility, and measurable value and applied it to AI.
Resilience in Practice
We’ve operated through platform shifts, budget cycles, and economic whiplash. Resilience for us means staying small enough to move fast, partnering when it’s smart, and delivering in milestones so clients see value early and often.
What We Learned
- Strategy first. Tools change; alignment and outcomes don’t.
- Ship small, learn fast. Iteration beats big-bang rollouts.
- Inclusion matters. Accessibility and multilingual design aren’t add-ons.
- Governance is product work. Ethics, privacy, and security belong in the roadmap.
Where We’re Going
We help public agencies, institutions, nonprofits, and small businesses modernize operations with Agile, ethical AI from discovery to pilot to scale. If you want the delivery detail, see our Methodology.
