AI in TechSTRIVON

I help technology professionals and teams turn AI into measurable outcomes.

Most people in tech use AI every day, yet struggle to show what it actually changed. I help technology professionals and organisations move beyond experimentation and apply AI where it counts in the work, decisions and systems that already matter, with a practical, governed approach grounded in real enterprise experience.

The AI Execution Scorecard

Find out where your organisation stands on AI execution, and what to focus on next.

Assess your organisation across strategy, capability, technology, execution, governance and value in about three minutes. You get your maturity stage, your biggest gap and your primary constraint on screen, and a personalised 30-day action plan by email.

Working on your own role rather than an organisation? The AI Career & Capability Scorecard tells you how effectively you use AI at work, and what to develop next.

The audit is a review, not free implementation.

The free AI audit

Have a real workflow you think AI could improve?

Bring one real workflow. I will look at where AI could help, where it probably will not, and what would be required to make it work.

Step 01
Find the opportunity

I take one real workflow, look closely at the manual effort buried inside it, and identify exactly where AI could carry a meaningful share of the load.

Step 02
Be honest about the risks

Data and system constraints, governance questions and implementation risk are all worked through openly, before anyone commits to anything.

Step 03
Agree what happens next

You get a straight conversation and a written summary that sets out the real opportunities, the genuine constraints and a sensible next move.

Ways to work together

Ways to work with me.

Most people begin in the learning areas. From there, the same thinking can be brought to bear on your own role, on a single workflow, or across a whole team and programme. Each stage picks up where the last one leaves off.

Explainers, walkthroughs and opinions across all six learning areas, written to give you a working understanding of AI in technology work before you change anything about how you do it.

Selected experience

Real technology. Real delivery. Real experience.

The advice on this site comes from work done inside organisations where a mistake costs real money. These are the kinds of engagements it was built on.

Regulated financial services
Enterprise decisioning platforms
The challenge

Every customer interaction across the channels had to be decided by one governed set of rules and models, in real time, with a record a regulator could follow.

My role

Decision architecture and next-best-action at enterprise scale, including deep specialist work on Pega Customer Decision Hub.

What changed

A decisioning capability the business could run itself: one place where the offers, the policies and the models were set, and every channel drawing on it.

Architecture · Decisioning · Integration · Delivery
Banks and other regulated organisations
Large-scale transformation and migration
The challenge

A legacy estate that had to be modernised while the business kept running, with dependencies nobody had fully mapped and a cutover that could not be allowed to fail quietly.

My role

The underlying work of large-scale change: modernising legacy estates, sequencing dependencies and keeping cutover risk honest.

What changed

A sequenced programme with the dependencies made visible, the risks stated plainly before each cutover, and the decisions recorded so they survived contact with delivery.

Transformation · Architecture · Delivery leadership
Large, complex organisations
Enterprise AI, from pilot to production
The challenge

AI pilots that worked in a demonstration and stalled at the questions about data, governance, accountability and testing that stand between a demo and production.

My role

Working out where AI genuinely helps, the governance it needs, and what it takes to move it from a promising pilot into production.

What changed

A clear line from pilot to production: which use cases were worth it, what had to be true before they went live, and the governance that let them stay there.

About the founder

Everything here comes from work I have actually done.

I am Naveen Khokher. I built Strivon, the company and the site behind everything here, after a career across enterprise AI, customer decisioning, architecture and large-scale delivery inside banks and other regulated organisations.

That background sets the standard for everything here. Every explanation and every opinion is grounded in how technology behaves in the real world, not in a headline or a vendor deck.

Questions, answered

The questions people ask me most.

See the full FAQ
01What is this site about?

This site is about putting AI to work in real technology jobs, in a way that produces results you can show rather than experiments you cannot explain. It brings together six free learning areas, one-to-one mentoring for people who want help with their own role and career, and a free audit, team workshops and advisory for organisations that want the same thinking applied inside their teams.

All of it draws on years of delivering technology inside banks and other organisations where mistakes are expensive, which is why the advice here is practical, specific and honest about what works.

02Who is it for?

It is written for people who work in and around technology: analysts, engineers, architects, delivery leads, decisioning specialists and the leaders they report to. If technology is part of your working day and you want AI to earn its place in it, you will find the site was built with you in mind.

Some areas go deeper than others, and whenever something is technical, it is explained properly rather than assumed.

03Do I need an account, and does any of it cost money?

There is no account to create. Every explainer, walkthrough and opinion in the learning areas is open to everyone, and the email list asks for an address and nothing else.

The only things that cost money are the ones where I work with you directly: mentoring, team workshops and advisory. The one exception is the Pega CDH interview guide, which is a paid product written for people preparing for that particular interview.

04How often do you publish, and where?

I publish one substantial piece every week or two, on YouTube first, and the deeper guides and frameworks go out by email when there is something worth reading. I would rather be consistent than prolific, and I would much rather explain a subject properly and take a clear position on it than add to the commentary on whatever happened in AI this week.
