Adam Pryor
Through Pryor Consulting, I partner with leaders and teams in Higher Education and Non-Profit organizations navigating the dynamic opportunities of Artificial Intelligence. My work is deeply rooted in the belief that the most successful AI integration empowers organizations to apply AI strategically, transforming their unique challenges into more impactful processes.
My journey to founding Pryor Consulting is built on over a decade embedded in the higher education landscape and a deep commitment to the non-profit sector. With 12 years of experience, including significant leadership roles such as Provost, Vice President, and Dean at Bethany College, I've gained firsthand understanding of the strategic challenges, operational realities, and the vital missions these institutions serve. My academic background, holding a Ph.D. in Philosophical and Systematic Theology, has honed my skills in navigating complex ideas, critically assessing new concepts, and translating intricate subjects into understandable insights – skills directly applicable to making AI approachable and practical.
For the past year, I have had the privilege of serving as a Senior Advisor for the Council of Independent College's (CIC) AI Ready program. Through this initiative, I've been directly involved in providing over 17,000 hours of AI education and actively developing practical tools and best practices specifically designed for the needs of independent colleges and universities. This intensive, hands-on experience has deepened my understanding of the specific AI adoption challenges and opportunities within higher education and further refined my approach to practical, impactful AI training and strategy.
My goal through Pryor Consulting is to bring this blend of strategic leadership experience, deep sectoral understanding, and front-lines AI implementation expertise directly to your organization. I offer interactive workshops, tailored strategic planning, and guided pilot programs designed to demystify AI and build your internal capacity. I focus on teaching your team how to effectively use tools like prompt engineering and strategic frameworks to improve workflows, enhance program delivery, streamline communications, and make data-driven decisions.
Ultimately, I founded Pryor Consulting to be your partner in ensuring AI enhances your vital work, deepens your impact, and truly serves your mission in a way that is both practical and transformative. My background in leading institutional initiatives in areas like strategic planning, curriculum development, retention, and ethical guidelines provides a holistic perspective on how AI can be integrated responsibly and effectively across an organization.
