You don't need AI automation.
You need Human-Centric AI Systems that amplify your best people instead of trying to replace them.
Hi, we're Alif.
We help you amplify your best humans using AI
Two years ago, we put together a dream team in AI engineering, behavioral science, and systems design - from institutions such as the University of New South Wales, McKinsey, PwC, and Ogilvy Consulting.
Our goal was simple: uncover the secrets behind the 10% of AI initiatives that actually work.
We did just that - and tested our findings in the real world with startups, SMBs, blue-chips, and sovereign wealth funds.
Now we’ve distilled those lessons into practical support for leaders who want AI transformation that delivers.
Sometimes that means we build part of the solution for you.
Sometimes it means we guide your teams through their own builds.
Either way, we help you build systems that amplify your best people.
OUR CLIENT EXPERIENCE
We're proud of the trust our clients have put in us to help lead transformations within their organisations.
From major corporates to sovereign wealth funds to SMBs- we've always been and will always be open to work within anyone who believes in putting humans before AI in this age of massive transformation.

Very impressed with what I've seen so far from Alif. They were able to identify the key systematic issues in our Procurement workflow first- only then did they use AI to solve the problem.

Alif didn't just try to copy paste Microsoft's Copilot playbook. They truly understood our business systems and then designed just the right level of AI interventions to help us click. Fantastic partners!

Workshop 1: Systems Thinking for AI Leaders
Objective: Shift paradigms — see AI adoption as a systems challenge. Agenda 1. Welcome & icebreaker: “AI wins and fails I’ve seen.” 2. Core concepts: stocks, flows, feedback loops, delays. 3. Why AI automation often fails → low leverage interventions. 4. Activity: Map your department as a system (post-its/online whiteboard). 5. Debrief: What leverage points can you identify?
