Steve BurtStrategic advisory, public sector and education

Strategy · Brand · AI

The strategist you hire when the market is the hard part.

I help companies, foundations, and public institutions sharpen brand identity, scale go-to-market through partner and channel ecosystems, and put AI where it earns its keep. Twenty-five years spent on both sides of the table: inside the institutions you are selling to, and inside the companies selling to them.

Where I help

Three areas of focus, sold as one engagement rather than three line items. Most work starts in the first and pulls in the other two.

01

Brand and marketing assets

Sharpening an existing identity or building a new one, then translating it into the assets that carry it into market.

Executive guides · White papers · Research reports · Customer stories · Sales enablement · Go-to-market content

02

Channel and partner go-to-market

The structures, enablement, and positioning that get partners selling on your behalf, built from having run these programs at scale.

Partner enablement · Channel positioning · Program design · Field readiness

03

AI strategy and alignment

Where AI belongs in your strategy, product, and go-to-market, and where it does not. Built into every engagement rather than sold as a bolt-on.

Opportunity assessments · Adoption roadmaps · Responsible AI guidance · Content workflows

Track record

Two decades of strategy work, grounded in a career that started in the classroom rather than a consultancy.
