Your AI Transformation Partner
Practitioner-built AI systems, coaching, and strategy for school leaders, business owners, and solo operators ready to work differently.
How We Work
Conversation
It starts with a real conversation. No pitch, no pressure. We sit down, you tell us what your days actually look like, where things break down, and what you wish worked better. That conversation shapes the structured intake process that follows and sets the direction for everything we do together.
Audit
We run a structured AI audit of your workflows, tools, and decision patterns. Not a technology checklist. A strategic assessment of where AI can reduce your load, sharpen your operations, and give you time back. You walk away with a written report and a clear picture of what to do next.
Strategy & Coaching
We build a plan around what the audit reveals. That might mean one-on-one coaching to get you fluent with AI tools. It might mean a training session for your staff. It might mean redesigning a workflow from the ground up. We go where the leverage is.
Implementation
When you are ready, we build the systems. Custom AI assistants trained on your world. Automation that handles the repetitive work so your people can focus on the parts that require human judgment. And ongoing support to make sure it sticks.
Who This Is For
School Leaders
Superintendents, principals, and district-level administrators who are expected to lead on AI adoption but were never given the training, strategy, or support to do it well. You have a tech department, but nobody who understands both AI and the weight of leading a school system. That is what we do.
Business Owners
Local and regional business owners who know AI is changing the game but have not had the time, guidance, or confidence to figure out what it means for their operation. You are not looking for a vendor. You are looking for someone who will sit with you and help you see what is actually possible for your business, without the hype.
Consultants & Professionals
Independent consultants, coaches, and knowledge workers running their own practice who are doing everything manually, from content creation to client communication to reporting. You are one person doing the work of four. AI can change that ratio, but only if someone helps you set it up right.
What Makes This Different
Most AI consultants come from technology. They understand the tools. What they do not understand is what it is like to manage 450 employees, balance a $32.8 million budget, present to an elected board, and still have to think about the next five years of a community's future.
WRG was founded by Dr. Steve Troyer, a former public school superintendent with more than two decades in public education and 15 years in leadership. He went full time on the question that kept coming up: how do leaders and organizations actually adopt AI in a way that makes their operation better, not just louder?
This is not a tech service. It is not an automation agency. It is a consulting practice built by someone who has sat in the chair, carried the weight, and knows what it takes to lead people through meaningful change.
What Our Clients Say
“From the first conversation, it was clear that Steve provided exactly the guidance needed to overcome hesitation about fully engaging with AI and to enhance professional practice as an Executive Coach. Within days, client growth sped up, and overall production, professionalism, and proficiency noticeably improved.
He eliminated the fear and uncertainty around AI and replaced them with confidence and practical skills. Steve has a rare talent for making innovation feel approachable, strategic, and immediately practical. Extremely qualified, very practical, and truly dedicated to the growth and success of the leaders he serves.”
“Steve at Willow Run Group built me a custom command center that tracks literally everything (pipeline, revenue, goals, and more). It’s been a total lifesaver for my business.
If you want a tech-savvy pro who actually listens and builds a relationship of trust, Steve is the person to call. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an individualized approach to deeply understanding their work and overall success.”

Built on Something Deeper
AI transformation is where we start. But Willow Run Group was built around a bigger idea: that the systems people operate in shape the lives they lead. Better systems create better organizations, better leadership, and better lives.
WRG's Blueprint framework addresses leadership development, personal and professional freedom, and long-term legacy planning. The AI Transformation Division is the entry point and the engine. The Blueprints are the architecture underneath.
