Frequently Asked Questions

We help businesses make smarter decisions about their work, technology, and strategy. We cut through corporate nonsense, expose broken systems, and provide clear, actionable insights. Our work is about real change, not performative consulting.

Most consultancies sell templated solutions and prioritise billable hours over real outcomes. Akron Flux rejects that. We provide clarity, direct action, and results that actually matter.

Automation should serve people, not replace them. We focus on augmentation, not mindless automation. If you want someone to replace human judgment with AI-driven nonsense, look elsewhere.

Real success means your team has a clearer vision, stronger decision-making ability, and reduced reliance on unnecessary SaaS tools and external dependencies. We don’t chase vanity metrics.

Most risk management is fear-driven nonsense that slows companies down. Our approach is about identifying actual risks instead of imaginary ones and helping companies adapt to uncertainty instead of being paralysed by it.

We're anti-bullshit, not anti-business. We believe businesses should be independent, resilient, and capable of making their own decisions-without blindly following trends or corporate dogma. Your people - the ones who build, create, and drive your business forward - deserve more than empty promises and corporate theatre. We focus on making work better for them, not just the bottom line.

We do not support extractive AI practices built on unconsented use of human work. At Akron Flux, we believe in consent, credit, and compensation. Generative models trained on copyrighted, creative, or proprietary material - scraped without permission - raise deep ethical concerns. Tools built on these foundations may offer short-term gains, but they pose long-term risks for trust, authenticity, and the value of human labour. We're cautious of narratives that frame this kind of extraction as progress or inevitability. We don't reject AI - but we reject the idea that speed and novelty justify erasing the rights and contributions of real people. For us, innovation must respect the creative foundation it depends on.

Not unless they make sense for your specific needs. We prefer open, explainable, and maintainable solutions over black-box dependencies. If a SaaS tool is genuinely useful, we’ll say so-but we don’t push software for commission.

Yes, but we don’t blindly push cloud adoption. Not everything belongs in the cloud. If you want to avoid vendor lock-in and unnecessary SaaS dependencies, we’ll show you how.

We strip away the corporate fluff and focus on real, meaningful change. Most digital transformation projects fail because they’re driven by hype instead of logic.

Yes, but not in the way most people expect. Culture doesn’t change through slogans or workshops. It changes when leadership follows through, processes align with values, and decision-making structures support autonomy.

Yes - but better doesn’t mean more complicated. Many companies think more processes equal more efficiency, but the opposite is often true. We streamline decision-making to reduce unnecessary complexity.

Yes, but only when it makes sense. We don’t lock clients into unnecessary retainers. If you need long-term strategic guidance, we’ll provide it. If you just need a one-off intervention, we won’t drag things out.

Yes, but only for teams that actually want to learn. Our training is practical, tactical, and tailored to your needs - not some off-the-shelf package filled with outdated ideas.

Start with a conversation - we need to know if there's a fit. If we can help, we'll tell you exactly what we can do. No fluff, no sales pitches - just straight talk about what needs to happen.

Yes, but only for audiences that actually care about critical thinking and meaningful change. If you’re looking for a safe, PR-friendly talk that won’t challenge anyone, find someone else.

Then we’re probably not the right fit for you. We work remotely by design. It’s how we deliver the best results. In some cases, we may arrange in-person sessions for strategic workshops or training - but these are exceptions, not the rule. The core of our work happens from our own offices, using well-tested remote collaboration practices.
