Leap to Scale
Leap to Scale is for technology curious leaders of service firms who want higher margins without adding headcount. Each week, Justin Davis and Greg Ross-Munro show how to turn firm expertise into repeatable, sellable technology products: SaaS, packaged workflows, and AI-powered tools clients can buy again and again. With AI, more of your know-how can be captured, standardized, and protected as IP instead of being rebuilt in every engagement.
We focus on practical decisions: what to productize, how to price it, when to build vs. buy, and how to use AI responsibly without risking delivery quality or margin. Clear steps, real tradeoffs, usable examples.
