I am Kyle Dickinson. Fieldcraft brings together the work I have done as a business advisor and the experience of putting AI to use in organizations I help run.
I spent four years as a business advisor at the Entrepreneur Fund, working alongside nearly two hundred owners across northern Minnesota and Wisconsin as they started, grew, and handed off what they built. The work began with understanding the business, the people, and what they wanted to make possible.
Today I co-own a retail business in Duluth and hold a finance seat at a growing regional company. I have an MBA focused on IT project management, with a background in financial markets, retail operations, and small-business finance.
AI is part of my own working day. In the retail business, systems I built help prepare purchasing, marketing, and inventory work. The result is a starting point for a real decision, and a person approves it before it counts.
I started Fieldcraft because people could see the possibilities in AI but needed help connecting them to their own goals. Some needed a place to try it. Others needed guidance on what to do first or how to bring a team along.
That is the work of this practice: training for teams, consulting for the people who run something, and guidance on where AI belongs. I help you understand the possibilities, choose a useful direction, and put it into practice with your people.
I write and enforce the AI use policy for the businesses I operate. Clear expectations help people use the tools with confidence. The short version is in what never goes in.
