Clearer AI decisions.
Practical Copilot skills.

Independent advice for boards. Practical training for teams.

Cloverbase helps New Zealand boards examine AI proposals and helps organisational teams get started with Microsoft Copilot. Work directly with the people behind the practice: Mark Smith and Meg Smith, authors of Microsoft 365 Copilot Adoption, published by Microsoft Press.

The gap

From possibility to practical judgement

An AI proposal can sound convincing before its assumptions have been tested. Copilot can be available across a team before people know how to use it well.

Cloverbase helps with both: examining the evidence behind a board decision and developing the practical skills people need in their everyday work.

Our practice

Independent AI Counsel

Practical AI expertise on your side of the boardroom table.

Mark Smith helps boards across Aotearoa New Zealand question AI proposals, scrutinise vendor claims and understand what delivery would require. He brings an independent view to the evidence and the decision before you.

Engage Mark for a board meeting, or discuss separately scoped vendor attendance and ongoing counsel.

Practical adoption expertise, published by Microsoft Press

Meg Smith and Mark Smith wrote Microsoft 365 Copilot Adoption, published by Microsoft Press.

The book explores what it takes to bring Copilot into everyday use: preparing an organisation, supporting people through change, developing practical skills and sustaining adoption.

That attention to people, context and practical application informs our work at Cloverbase.
