What I Do

01

Maturity Audits & Gap Analysis

A systematic evaluation of your data, analytics, and AI capabilities, informed by published maturity research. Identify where you are, where capability breaks down, and what should happen next.
  • Data and technology assessment
  • Process maturity scoring
  • Team capability mapping
  • Gap analysis and prioritized action plan
02

Education, Speaking & Applied Training

Workshops and applied training led by a Certified Adult Educator with 2,000+ classroom hours. No jargon. No logo-stuffed slides. Just signal.
  • Conference speaking
  • Executive workshops
  • Applied team training
  • AI literacy programs
03

Analytics Systems

End-to-end analytics infrastructure — from instrumentation strategy to dashboard design. Systems that produce decisions, not screenshots.
  • Tag management & data layers
  • BI platform architecture
  • Dashboard & reporting design
  • Data pipeline integration

Why FMC

Three things that distinguish FMC from a vendor's consulting arm:

Vendor-neutral.

FMC has no software partnerships, resale margins, or platform allegiances. Recommendations are based on what fits your organization's actual maturity—not on what someone is trying to sell you.

Current through teaching and applied work.

I lead a post-graduate program in AI and data analytics and work with applied projects across Atlantic Canada. That provides a direct view of emerging tools, changing practices, and the capabilities organizations will increasingly need.

Research-informed, not pattern-matched.

Recommendations are calibrated to your organization's actual capabilities, constraints, and objectives—not to the size of the engagement FMC would like to sell next.

Philosophy

The goal isn't to have more data. It's to need less of it to make the right call.

The work rests on two ideas, borrowed from people who've said them better:

Cindi Howson named the goal: the job of a BI analyst is to reduce time to insight. George Box named the method: parsimony and sufficiency — the smallest model that actually works.

Most organizations have data dashboards. Few have a data practice. No magic frameworks. No vendor pitches. Just signal.

About

Chris Stewart, founder of FMC Applied Intelligence

I'm Chris Stewart, founder of FMC Applied Intelligence. I'm a data analytics practitioner, educator, and technical advisor based in Kensington, Prince Edward Island.

I lead Holland College's Post-Graduate Certificate in AI & Data Analytics and advise projects through the Holland College Business Analytics Centre. My background includes an M.Sc. in Information Systems, certification in adult education, and published maturity research in business intelligence.

I started FMC because successful analytics work requires more than software, dashboards, or AI. It requires a clear understanding of the problem, sound judgment, and technology that people can actually use.

Clients work directly with me—from the first conversation through implementation. The objective is always the same: practical systems, defensible decisions, and results that remain useful after the project is finished.

FMC Applied Intelligence operates independently of Holland College.
