Practice 06
AI and technology
You want AI to take work off your people and leave the judgement with them. We help you decide where it belongs in your workflows and how to put it in. We run ON on our own tooling, so we know what the change work takes.
This is the practice for
- the firm whose senior people spend the week on reading and first drafts
- the board that wants its reporting from the systems it already runs
- the business choosing between building and buying
In this practice
AI readiness and use-case scoping
Where the hours go today, which of them are grind, and the three workflows worth automating first.
Workflow automation
Review, extraction and first drafts run on tooling, with the review that matters kept with a person.
Data and reporting
The numbers a board actually reads, produced from the systems you already run rather than retyped into a deck.
Build partner selection
What to buy, what to build and who to build it with, from people who have done it to their own firm.
Before you start
What we would tell you before you buy any tooling.
Start with where the hours go.
Before any tool, a fortnight of the team's hours by task. The grind is usually reading, extraction and first drafts; the judgement is a small share of the hours and most of the value. The tooling belongs with the first, and the person with the second.
Automate the grind. Keep the person.
Review, extraction and first drafts run on tooling; the review that matters stays with a person who is accountable for it. On our own mandates the client is told at scoping what the tooling does on their matter, and we would build yours to the same rule.
Build for the workflow, not the demo.
The tooling ON runs on was built for our own matters and runs on live mandates every working day, with every model run recorded. That is the standard we hold a build partner to, and the difference between a pilot that ships and one that stays a slide.
The reporting should come from the systems you already run.
The numbers a board reads, produced from the systems in place rather than retyped into a deck each month. Most of the value of the change is in the reporting nobody has to prepare.
Work in this practice
Who runs it
A partner who has lived it runs your mandate.
Every engagement is run by a partner who has done it. We built the tooling ON runs on, and use it on live mandates every working day.
Meet the teamTell us where the hours go.
We will tell you which of them a machine should have, and which should never leave a person. The earlier the call, the more we can add. The first conversation costs nothing.
