We turn your AI ambition into a twelve-month plan, with an owner on every item.
The board has asked what the AI budget buys. We work the ambition out by people, process and technology, and sequence it Now, Next and Later, with a cost and a measure on each line.
Why an ambition is not yet a plan.
Most legal teams have a direction on AI and leadership behind it. What is missing is the order: which bets go first, which wait, which are not worth the money, and who runs each one.
Without it, initiatives run side by side, each with its own sponsor, and the board is asked to fund an ambition instead of a piece of work.
How it works
We start from what is agreed
The ambition, the initiatives already running, and what the tools you have are used for today.
We work it out by angle
People, process and technology, and whichever other angles fit your organisation.
We set a goal per angle
The outcome each angle aims for, written as a goal with a number and a date on it.
We sequence the work
Now, Next and Later. Every item gets a cost, an owner, its dependencies and a measure.
We hand it to whoever runs it
A kick-off with the people who own execution, and a recommendation on how to govern the plan.
What you get
A twelve-month roadmap
Organised by angle, with a cost, an owner and a measure on every item.
A goal per angle
What each angle should have achieved, and by when.
A backlog beyond the year
What did not make the first twelve months, in order, ready to move up when the plan changes.
Governance and a kick-off
How to run the roadmap, and a session with the people who will.
Frequently asked questions
We can plan this internally. Why bring someone in?
You can, if someone has the weeks free. Internal roadmaps tend to stall on the order, because every item has a sponsor. We arrive with no item of our own to defend.
Isn't this what a strategy house does?
A strategy house sets the strategy, and you may want one. The roadmap sits underneath it: each item sized to be built, by people who can then build it.
Doesn't our platform vendor have a roadmap for us already?
Their roadmap ends at their product. Yours also covers the people, the AI policy, the integration with the DMS and the tools no vendor ships.
Do we need an AI Transformation Scan first?
Not always. If leadership already agrees where the organisation stands, we start from that. If it does not, the AI Transformation Scan gives the roadmap its starting point.
What happens to the items on the roadmap?
One that still needs working out becomes a Strategy Deepdive. One that is ready to build goes to Discovery.

Send us the ambition as it stands and the date the board wants a plan. Without an agreed starting point, the first step is an AI Transformation Scan, not a roadmap.
