Independent business systems design

Make complexity
work for you.

I help organizations turn financial ambiguity, tangled workflows, and AI opportunity into practical systems that move the business forward.

The opportunity

Your business already has the ingredients. Let’s make them work together.

Good consulting should leave you with more than a deck. It should create visibility, remove friction, and build capability your team can keep using long after the engagement ends.

What I do

Three ways to create momentum.

Focused help for the places where decisions, data, and day-to-day work intersect.

01

Financial clarity

Turn scattered numbers into a useful operating view—so you can understand performance, evaluate choices, and act with confidence.

  • Management reporting & dashboards
  • Forecasting & scenario design
  • Decision models & unit economics
02

Process design

Find the friction, clarify ownership, and redesign the flow of work around what people and customers actually need.

  • Workflow mapping & redesign
  • Controls, handoffs & accountability
  • Automation opportunity assessment
03

Applied AI

Move beyond demos. Identify valuable use cases, design human-centered workflows, and put AI to work with sensible guardrails.

  • AI workflow & assistant design
  • Use-case prioritization
  • Prototypes, governance & rollout

How we work

A practical path from question to capability.

No black-box transformation program. We start small enough to learn quickly, then build what earns its place.

  1. 01

    Frame

    Define the real question, the decisions it affects, and what better looks like.

  2. 02

    See

    Map the current reality—data, workflow, incentives, constraints, and hidden workarounds.

  3. 03

    Build

    Create the model, workflow, or prototype with the people who will actually use it.

  4. 04

    Embed

    Measure the result, strengthen the system, and transfer capability to your team.

Good outcomes look like

Fewermanual handoffs

The target is not “more technology.” It is a business that understands itself and works better.

Why Thorsen

Senior attention.
Direct collaboration.
No consulting theater.

Thorsen is an independent practice for leaders who want clear analysis, thoughtful design, and hands-on help turning ideas into working systems.

Every engagement is shaped around the problem—not a prepackaged methodology. The work combines financial discipline, process thinking, and a practical understanding of where AI helps and where human judgment matters more.

I work best with growing organizations that have outgrown spreadsheets and informal workflows but do not need a large consulting team.

Have a complicated problem?

simpler.

Tell me what you’re trying to improve. A useful first conversation costs nothing and starts with the problem—not a pitch.
