KPIs we move
Every engagement ties back to a measurable metric on your scorecard. For professional services, these are the KPIs we target most often.
Compliance & governance
We design every AI initiative to fit within your existing compliance envelope. Relevant frameworks for professional services:
Tech stack we typically recommend
How a Hilliard engagement typically runs
Discovery
We start with a structured look at your business, your data, and what your leadership team is actually trying to accomplish. Expect sharp interviews, a quick artifact review, and an honest read on where you stand.
Strategy & Roadmap
We convert the findings into a prioritized portfolio of initiatives, each with a business case, an owner, and a sequencing plan your CFO can defend. You leave with a roadmap, not a research report.
Workshops & Enablement
We run targeted workshops and private coaching so your executives and line leaders can actually lead the work. This is where strategy becomes behavior — shared language, sharper decisions, and real fluency.
Deploy & Coach
We stay close while the first initiatives go live, troubleshooting with your teams, steering the governance cadence, and coaching executives through the inevitable bumps. Then we hand the keys over cleanly.
Common questions from Hilliard leaders
Do you specialize in Professional Services specifically?
We work across several sectors, with repeated engagements in Professional Services. That means we bring pattern recognition from other Professional Services Firms without being locked into a single playbook. Our advisors know where the usual AI bets pay off in your industry, where they stall, and what good looks like for a Prof. Services AI operation of your size.
How much does AI consulting for Professional Services Firms in Hilliard cost?
Engagement pricing depends on scope and duration. A two-week readiness assessment for a Hilliard Professional Services team typically runs in the mid five figures; full strategy and roadmap work sits in the low-to-mid six figures; embedded task forces are priced by quarter. We quote fixed fees wherever possible and walk you through the breakdown before you commit to anything.
Should we hire a Head of AI instead of bringing in consultants?
Often the answer is both, in sequence. An outside advisor helps you define the role, build the initial strategy, and de-risk the first hires so the person you bring in walks into a functioning operating model rather than a blank page. We're happy to advise on the job description, interview loop, and first ninety days for any senior AI hire you're contemplating.
