Chad Williams
From Training 2,500+ Enterprise Leaders to Automating Small Business Success
SAFe Program Consultant Trainer (SPCT) • Automation Expert • Business Efficiency Architect
Hi, I'm Chad. After nearly two decades training and consulting to over 2,500 professionals across 4 continents—including the last decade as one of only ~150 SAFe Program Consultant Trainers (SPCTs) worldwide—I discovered something powerful: the same Lean-Agile principles that help Fortune 500 companies scale can transform businesses of any size when combined with smart automation.
My journey from corporate transformation to business automation wasn't planned, but it makes perfect sense. Through my Lean-Agile training work, I taught organizations how to eliminate waste, optimize workflows, and deliver value faster. Now, I apply those same principles using AI and automation tools to help businesses worldwide reclaim their time.
What makes my approach different? I don't just implement tools—I teach you the thinking behind them. My background training executives and teams means I know how to break down complex concepts into actionable steps. Whether you're automating your first email sequence or building an AI-powered customer service system, I'll show you exactly how to do it yourself.
Today, I'm co-founder of Clever Assets (focusing on enterprise property management) and run Visible Projects, where I help small business owners and professionals automate the boring stuff so they can focus on what actually matters: growing their business and enjoying their life.
