Real Minds AI is an Australian-owned consultancy specialising in practical AI adoption for organisations navigating operational complexity. Founded by Tracy Anthony and Dr Dennis Wollersheim, we combine 30+ years of enterprise transformation experience with rigorous research methodology.

We believe AI works best when it amplifies human expertise—not replaces it. Our approach cuts through the hype to focus on what actually works: practical tools, clear guidance, and results you can measure in time saved and stress reduced.

We’ve delivered transformation projects across diverse sectors including healthcare, government, utilities, construction, and not-for-profits. Our work spans enterprise payroll systems, regulatory compliance frameworks, workforce management, and operational integration—always focused on practical outcomes, not theoretical possibilities.

We understand that school administration teams don’t have time for fluff. Our training is built around real tasks, immediate application, and the specific challenges of working in education—including privacy, compliance, and the reality of doing more with less.

We look forward to helping school admin teams across Australia work smarter with AI.
