AI in Your Core Work: Change how your key work runs, led by your own people.

For teams whose people already use AI, but whose key work still runs the old way. We take one process that matters, from tenders to month-end close, and work out with the people who do it how it should run now. The gain isn’t only speed: it’s new insight, fewer errors and work you couldn’t take on before.

Sound familiar?

“Everyone’s a bit faster. The process is exactly the same.”

The operations lead

“Our month-end still takes a week. AI hasn’t touched it.”

The finance director

“We know where the bottleneck is. We don’t know how AI fits into it.”

The head of function
What you get

Faster work, new insight, less risk.

  1. Two or three key pieces of work, running a new way.

    Chosen with the head of the function and tied to a business goal.

  2. A clear split for every task.

    What AI does, what it does alongside someone, and what stays human.

  3. A named person checking AI’s work.

    With the time, knowledge and authority to reject it.

  4. A written playbook for each one.

    So the new way of working survives holidays, new starters and change.

  5. A team that can do the next one.

    Your super users and their lead learn how, so you need us less each time.

Our method

One process at a time, so everyone keeps working while it changes.

  1. Pick the work that matters.

    With the head of the function, we choose one key process tied to a business goal and record where it stands today.

  2. Work out the split.

    The team’s strongest AI users and their lead decide what AI takes on, what it does alongside someone, what stays human and who checks what. They’re chosen on how they use AI, not on job title.

  3. Build it into the work.

    We build it with them, in the tools the team already uses, on systems you own.

  4. Measure it.

    We track it against the starting point, and the head of the function signs off the result.

  5. Roll it out across the team.

    The rest of the team learns it from the colleagues who built it, and those colleagues stay the go-to people.

See it on one process

Month-end, the old way and the new way.

The same close, the same team. AI takes the matching and first drafts, a named person checks its work, and the time goes where judgement is needed.

Your people, brought with you.

Role changes and concerns handled team by team, with managers and super users leading.

Safe from the start.

Every new way of working is checked for the data it uses and where a person signs off.

Questions people ask

Before you book the call.

How is this different from AI Adoption?

AI Adoption changes what each person does. This changes how a team’s work is done. Most clients do Adoption first: it’s hard to move the team if you can’t move the individual.

Will this mean job cuts?

That’s your decision, not ours. We talk openly with your people about what changes for each role, and plan with you where the time saved goes.

Do we need new software?

Usually not. We work in the tools your team already uses. Where something new is needed, we build it on systems you own.

Which teams do you work with?

Any team with a process that’s slow, costly or error-prone. Finance, sales, operations, engineering and HR are common places to start.

Not sure where to start? That’s the right time to call.

Whether you have licences, pilots or nothing yet, we’ll help you pick a sensible first step.
