Building Business 2.0 — for real-world small businesses
I’m J.P. Henri — IT analyst and AI systems consultant based in Gatineau. I help small businesses save time, modernize operations, and produce more marketing using practical AI and automation (without unnecessary complexity).

Business 2.0 is my practical framework for using technology in a realistic, simple and sustainable way for small businesses.
Most small businesses don’t need a dozen new tools — they need clarity, less repetitive work, and better visibility on what truly matters. My work starts from what already exists: the shop floor, the inbox, spreadsheets, and customer conversations. Then we add just enough structure, automation and AI to create measurable improvement.
- Understand reality: how work actually flows today (not how it “should” work).
- Simplify first: remove friction before adding new systems.
- Add targeted automation: only where it saves real time or reduces risk.
- Use AI as an assistant: for content, documentation and decision support — not to replace people.
- Measure impact: time saved, fewer errors, better customer experience.
Everything I test eventually gets applied in real projects with real businesses — like the ones below.

Long-term digital transformation for a high-end cobbler: website, clear service catalog, local SEO, before/after content, and backend workflows that simplify mail-in repairs.
This is my main sandbox for testing how far Business 2.0 can go inside a single local shop without losing its personality.
Chuck’s Casse-Croute
Fast, minimal and low-maintenance website for a local restaurant. Demonstrates how a small business can look professional online without a heavy CMS.

This experience shaped my Business 2.0 philosophy: long-term relationships, plain language, and solutions aligned with real constraints.
