Professional services automation, usually shortened to PSA, is the software that runs the operating side of a firm that sells expertise by the project or the hour: winning work into a plan, staffing it, capturing time, tracking delivery against budget, billing, and forecasting revenue and capacity. It joins the parts of a firm that usually…
AI for law firms means using AI in legal practice: researching the law, reviewing and drafting documents, summarising files and correspondence, managing intake and running the business of the firm. The useful question is not whether it helps, since it plainly does, but where it is safe to use. Legal work has an unusual combination…
AI for accountants means using AI across the work of an accounting or tax practice: preparing and reviewing the books, researching and drafting tax positions, testing and documenting audit work, producing the analysis behind advisory conversations, and running the firm itself. It is a guide for the practitioner, the person whose name goes on the…

A go-to-market strategy is the set of decisions that determines how a company wins customers for a specific offer: who it is for, what problem it solves for them, why they should choose you over the alternatives, how they prefer to buy, where you reach them, and what each customer costs to win. It is…
Data sovereignty is the principle that data is subject to the laws and control of whoever governs it. For a company using AI, the useful version is narrower and more practical: knowing, and deciding, who can see, keep, use and move the data that goes into your AI systems and the outputs that come out…
AI consulting services are the outside help a company buys to decide, build and run its use of AI: strategy and prioritisation (often sold as AI strategy consulting), readiness and data assessments, implementation and integration, training and change support, governance, and ongoing managed operation. The category is broad enough that two proposals with the same…
AI change management is the work of getting people to change how they do their jobs because of AI, and to keep working that way once the launch energy has gone. It covers four things: a redesigned workflow worth using, clear permission to use it, the skill to use it well, and an honest answer…
