Your people already use AI.
What's missing is anyone accountable for what the firm learns from it. Over a defined engagement we stand up the group that owns it, and we leave once it runs without us.
Any firm can buy access to the tools. Capability has to be built: knowing what to point them at, what's safe with client data, and what actually worked. Most firms sit somewhere in between, and it sounds like this:
“People here are already using AI, and we could not tell you where or on what.”
“We are paying for these tools and cannot say what has changed because of them.”
“Nobody has written down what is allowed with client information.”
“It comes up at every partner meeting and leaves without an owner.”
And why it persists: The people who should lead this have the least time for it. Almost everything that reaches you is someone selling a tool, so the conversation stays on products instead of direction.
That is the part we carry, until the group carries it itself. We form a dedicated group with you and run it through its formation term, and it sits under whatever already governs technology decisions at your firm.
Grounds brings the agenda, the research, and the technical translation. Your group does not have to go and find out what is true before it can decide anything.
Nobody at your firm lacks the ability to understand this work. What they lack is time to research it, translate it, and build something the rest of the firm can use.
Every session leaves a written record your people keep, so the group is being trained on your firm's own decisions rather than on somebody's course.
Nothing above it changes. It's staffed from across the firm, meets on a schedule, and becomes the one place your firm's AI decisions get made and recorded.
Phase one takes a measurement so the last one can be checked against it. Everything in between is your group learning to take that measurement itself.
We find where AI is actually used across the firm today, and how long the work you'd want to target currently takes.
The group is named, and writes down what it is for and the language it will use. It sits under whatever already governs technology at your firm, and nothing above it changes.
The group meets, decides, and records. Grounds brings the agenda and carries the research between sessions, translating it into something the firm can use.
The group meets, decides, and records on its own. You hold its baseline and a training plan leadership can fund.
Agreed before we start, and measured against your own numbers rather than an industry average.
Where your people actually use AI today, and how long the work the group chooses to target currently takes.
Whether the group meets, decides, and records without Grounds in the room.
The hours the targeted work takes, against the baseline taken before the group existed.
How much of your firm's own way of working is written down rather than held by individuals.
The engagement ends with your firm holding the group, its direction, and the record it keeps. Start a conversation, or see the research it rests on first.
