Working With Us

Assembly Theory leverages AI tools to augment what great teams can do and helps those teams to learn how to use those same tools effectively for themselves - regardless of technical skill.

For leaders, thinking about AI and only efficiency misses the central opportunity: The ability to unlock new ideas, information, capabilities, and perspectives to strengthen what your team can do to fulfill your organization's mission. Capturing that opportunity, though, requires not just effectively adopting new technology but also trust, human connection, respect for the organizations existing processes, and clear communication.

Assembly Theory founder Brian Lowe has led organizations (and managed consultants!) in many different roles. Those experiences shape how Assembly Theory operates. First, listen carefully to what an organization needs. Second, communicate clearly & concisely. And third, operate collaboratively, creatively, and effectively to get the job done early and in a way that builds trust, strong organizations, and lasting relationships.
