Peter Adam Smith
A business analyst and architect with over a decade delivering transformation, decision-support and data governance in regulated, high-stakes environments.
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office. NHS England. The Home Office. A major UK consumer-rewards brand. Environments where accountability is scrutinised and the consequences of getting it wrong are significant.
Ignivara iQ is not a departure from that work. It is the same discipline — understand the business, find who owns what, make the dependencies visible — applied to the thing organisations now depend on and least understand.

A stalled AI adoption programme recovered
An ungoverned generative-AI initiative made safe, prioritised against a purpose-built framework, and piloted with measurement in place.
