Boutique AI advisory · Milford, Delaware
AI guidance for your organization, from someone you actually work with.
Blue Hen Consulting is a boutique AI advisory practice helping small firms, nonprofits, and local government use AI safely and well — without an IT department, a big-firm budget, or a consultant who never shows up.
The problem
You know AI matters. You don't have anyone to ask.
Your staff are already using AI tools — you're just not sure which ones, or what they're typing into them. A vendor is pitching you something with "AI" in the name and you can't tell if it's safe for client data. Your board, or a partner, keeps asking what your plan is. And the firms big enough to have an answer have an IT department you don't.
You don't need an enterprise consulting engagement. You need someone who knows this material, understands a firm your size, and will sit down with you and your team to sort out what's worth doing and what to stay away from.
Who I work with
Small organizations that run on trust and sensitive information.
Professional firms
Law offices, medical and dental practices, insurance offices, and accounting firms — holding privileged client information every day.
Nonprofits
Managing donor, client, and constituent data on tight budgets, with a board asking what the AI plan is.
Local government
City and county offices serving the public with sensitive constituent data and no room for missteps.
How we start
The easiest first step is getting your team trained.
Most engagements start with practical, role-specific AI training — not a generic "intro to AI," but how the people in your office can use these tools safely in the actual work. What saves real time. What should never go into a chatbot. Where the risks are when you hold privileged or personal information.
It's hands-on, it's tailored to your office, and it gives your team something they can use the next morning. From there, we go as deep as you need.

Boutique and local doesn't mean inexperienced.
Tyson Saltwell, Principal
You work with me directly — but I bring experience most boutique advisors don't. Twenty-two years in consulting, including twelve in federal defense with Deloitte, Booz Allen Hamilton, and Serco, focused on the thing that actually matters here: modernizing how organizations work and helping their people adapt.
I've spent my career changing how organizations operate. Now I do it for organizations my size — close to home, in the Mid-Atlantic.
- Federal IT modernization & business process re-engineering — 12 years across Deloitte, Booz Allen Hamilton, and Serco
- MBA — your AI decisions treated as business decisions, not technical novelties
- Harvard programs in AI Strategy and AI for Leaders — completed
- IAPP AI Governance Professional (AIGP) — credential in progress
