About
Why we built it
Strategic Thinking Systems was built on a conviction: the more capable AI becomes, the better the ways we need to work with it. A chat window is a good way to ask a question. It’s a poor way for a team to think a problem through together.
STS gives the problem a place of its own: a board your whole team can see, where AI works on what you point it to, and where the reasoning stays after the meeting ends.

Founder
A serial technology entrepreneur, Francis founded, led and sold Xpertdoc Technologies, a document automation company that grew 40% a year for a decade and served 800 customers worldwide. At STS, he brings that experience to a question that has long fascinated him: how can human and artificial intelligence work together to make better decisions? An accomplished chess player and sought-after speaker, he teaches “AI in the Enterprise” at Institut Grasset.
