Human Context is the consulting practice of Sean King. After 20 years building enterprise platforms that scale, I help growing companies transform founder-led product decisions into systematic product leadership built for human-AI collaboration.
The approach is systematic: establish clear customer context, design effective human-AI decision workflows, then install the operating model that makes collaboration consistent.
Most engagements focus on building this capability through targeted sprints or ongoing fractional partnership."Not everything is broken. But most growing companies make product decisions reactively - responding to the loudest customer, the latest sales request, or whoever has the CEO's ear that week.
That's what I bring: systematic product leadership that transforms reactive decisions into strategic human-AI collaboration. We establish clear customer context, design decision workflows that leverage both human insight and AI capability, then install the operating model that makes this collaboration consistent.
The goal is to build on what's working, with clear priorities, aligned teams, and intelligent systems that amplify human judgment.
Every organization starts in a different place. These four modes help growing companies build the product leadership capability they need to scale confidently.
Most growing companies hit predictable scaling bottlenecks: product decisions take too long, priorities shift weekly, teams work in different directions, or the founder becomes the product decision bottleneck.
Highlights:
Without clarity on who you're building for and what business outcomes you're driving, product decisions remain reactive. This phase establishes your ICP, connects it to clear business strategy, and builds the roadmap framework that guides all future product decisions.
Highlights:
This is where strategy becomes systematic capability. We implement the product operating model - the frameworks, processes, and tools that turn good product leadership from individual heroics into organizational muscle that scales with your growth.
Highlights:
Scaling isn't one-and-done. Market conditions change, teams grow, new complexity emerges. This ongoing mode helps you maintain product leadership effectiveness while adapting to evolving business needs and market conditions.
Highlights:
Every organization's friction looks a little different. That's why Human Context engagements flex to meet your needs, timing, and internal capacity. Whether you're starting from a hunch or already in the middle of transformation, the service matches the depth of support to the clarity you're aiming for.
