Why firms like yours hire us

  • Our AI training for consultants and professional services firms shows teams where AI speeds up research and drafting, and where human judgement must stay in charge.
  • Sessions use your own expert reports and templates, house style guides, regulator papers, client proposals and source evidence.
  • We have trained economic consultancies, advisory and communications firms, and sustainability consultancies.
  • We train each team individually so the examples match its work, and one-to-one coaching is available.

AI use cases from our consulting and professional services clients

Each one was built in our sessions with clients like yours, and comes from our library of more than 1,000 AI use cases.

Cross-report consistency checks

Long reports drift out of line with each other. Independent runs compare related reports and show where claims agree or conflict, with page citations.

Proposal checks against the template

Proposals go out missing required sections. Drafts are checked against the firm's standard template before they reach the client.

Regulatory knowledge base

Answers sit buried in long determinations. A searchable knowledge base gives cited answers on allowances and methods in seconds.

Simulated leadership panels

Analysis rarely gets challenged before the client sees it. Panels of personas debate what it means and push back on each other.

Impact report review board

Credibility problems surface after publication. A reusable board of assessor, regulator and journalist personas stress-tests reports first.

Automatable roles dashboard

Clients want evidence, not opinion. Labour market AI usage data becomes an interactive dashboard of which roles can be automated.

How your peers are moving

Law firms are moving from handing staff AI tools to teaching them to use those tools well, through academies, literacy programmes and firm-wide rollouts. Few mid-sized firms can staff an in-house AI academy, so we give your people the same practical footing in days, built around your own documents.

Shoosmiths

In April 2025 the firm set a target of one million Microsoft Copilot prompts in the year, with £1m added to the staff bonus pool if staff reached it. Usage was shared monthly across the firm, supported by training, drop-in sessions and hands-on workshops. Staff hit the target more than four months ahead of schedule.

Completed a firm-wide Microsoft Copilot rollout, with around 1,300 people enabled and roughly 700,000 prompts submitted by January 2026. The firm has also launched an AI agent for all business services colleagues and runs a Digital Champion Network to share what works.

Courses for consulting & professional services teams

What makes us different

  • Everything is bespoke. Each session is built around your own data, workflows and use cases, such as your expert reports, proposals, templates and house style, so people practise on real work.
  • Our instructors are AI practitioners, not career trainers. They are founders, operators and advisers who use AI in their own work every day, so they answer the hard questions from direct experience.
  • We take a data-driven approach. We survey your teams before and after the programme and measure time saved, AI adoption and return on investment, so you can see exactly what changed.
  • We are a full-service AI enablement partner. Beyond the training, we offer AI strategy for leadership, one-to-one coaching for key people, and rollouts across multiple teams.

How we get your team there

A practical playbook

  1. 1

    Anchor it in the work clients pay for

    Start where faster research, sharper drafting or tighter checking create the most value: expert reports, proposals, regulatory analysis, and client deliverables. Firms that tie AI to that work, rather than treating it as a general productivity tool, build capability that compounds across engagements.

  2. 2

    Build on real documents and workflows

    Teams adopt faster when training uses their actual report templates, house style, past deliverables, and papers they already know well enough to judge the output. Abstract demos generate interest. Working with live material changes behaviour.

  3. 3

    Fix the data and access rules early

    Agreeing what client material can go into which tool, and making sure the right features are switched on for every user, is what stops people falling back on personal accounts. Most firms find that client confidentiality and access, not model capability, are the real constraints.

  4. 4

    Measure adoption, not enthusiasm

    Track time saved and which workflows are in use, and offer one-to-one coaching a few months later, once people have habits worth improving. The goal is a smaller set of workflows that are measurably better and that the team trusts enough to rely on.
