Sector briefings

The business case for AI depends on the work, economics and priorities of the organisation using it. Our sector analysis examines those conditions and makes the assumptions behind potential returns visible.

Law firms

What could AI be worth to your law firm?

The return from AI depends on how your firm works, how widely people use it and what happens to the time it saves. Published benchmarks can help you explore the possibilities, but their assumptions need to fit your business.

We offer a complimentary AI value briefing for your law firm, drawing on publicly available information, sector research and clearly stated assumptions. It explores how different adoption and usage scenarios could affect the business case, and identifies the questions worth investigating before you invest further.

The briefing is a starting point for discussion. Its estimates are illustrative, rather than forecasts or measured results from your firm. A detailed assessment builds on this by working with your people and internal information to test assumptions and develop a practical roadmap.

Original research

How businesses make progress with AI

Stephen Harley
Stephen Harley, Founder & Managing Director

Stephen Harley's MBA research at Warwick Business School drew on interviews with 20 senior decision-makers across 18 UK businesses. It explored how leadership, trust, organisational culture and practical constraints shape the adoption of generative AI.

The published series examines what leaders can do when the answers are still emerging, why people can feel threatened by AI, and how shared learning helps turn individual experimentation into organisational capability.

How readiness grows through use

The Leadership Sensegiving–Readiness Heuristic is the model developed from the research. It describes a repeating cycle: leaders give direction, people make sense of what AI means for their work, and confidence and capability develop through experience. What they learn then informs the next decisions.

The model helps explain why readiness can grow, stall or reverse, and why leadership and learning need to continue as adoption develops.

Commentary

Readiness Is Not a Gate

Our response to Microsoft's 2026 Work Trend Index considers where its findings align with our research and where a different interpretation could help leaders. It examines readiness, visible leadership and the work needed to turn time saved into business value.
