The framework · AI

AI strategy, governance and adoption, owned inside one framework.

The board asked for an AI strategy. Yours has a named owner.

Everyone says adopt AI. Nobody owns making the firm ready. This is the domain of The Technology Framework where readiness gets its named owner: strategy in writing, Copilot governed on a tenant you would happily show the insurer, agents in production when a workflow earns one.

An audit and two fixed sprints cover this domain. The seat covers all ten. Either way, a named person owns it.

Sprints from £7,500, fixed. The seat from £4,750 a month. Published prices, on purpose. Never a priced menu of ten.
The board's AI question ONE PAGE AI, owned ONE DOMAIN OF TEN Position Tenant Agents GOVERNED BEFORE IT IS SWITCHED ON

What owning it looks like

The domain, run as a practice
The practice

Copilot governed. Agents in production when they earn their keep.

That is the day-to-day shape of this domain. In a firm of 50-200 people it means two jobs done properly, both with a named owner, on an estate the other nine domains have made ready.

  • A written AI position the board can read. What the firm uses, what it does not, who owns the risk.
  • A governed tenant. Purview, oversharing and labels fixed before any Copilot licences are bought.
  • A short list of workflows worth automating, and an honest reason why the rest are not.
  • Agents in production with a clear owner, a clear finish line, and a measure of what they save.
  • An answer ready when the insurer, the client audit or the board asks what the firm does with AI.
On the record

Running

The agent answering our phone line is ours. Call it.

Call 0117 456 5486. The voice that answers is our own AI call agent, in production, on our own line. We run our practice on what we sell. Hear it running.

Production agents run inside this practice, one job each. That is the bar for anything we build.

The order of work

Governance comes first, and it is short

Copilot stays unsafe while the shared drive is. Oversharing, stale permissions and unlabelled data are the risk; Copilot only accelerates whatever it finds. Owning this domain means the tenant is fixed first, the pilot runs with the people who need it, and the board reads the result on one page.

The same discipline applies to agents. A workflow earns automation, or it stays with the person who owns it today. Nothing here is a science project.

AI in the framework

Strategy, governance, pilots, production
The enablement work

Strategy, governance, pilots, production: AI with a named owner

That is this domain's whole job, in four moves, each with a deliverable somebody signs.

  • Strategy we assess. Where AI could earn its keep in this firm, where it should not run, and a written position the board can read.
  • Governance we put in writing. The controls that let the firm say yes safely: the tenant fixed first, data the tools can see mapped against data they must never see, and an answer ready for the insurer.
  • Pilots we measure. Thirty days, with the people who need it, the measure agreed before it starts. A pilot that cannot say what it changed does not graduate.
  • Production we own. Agents go live with a clear owner and a clear finish line, run the way we run our own.
Why the framework matters

AI fails on estates where the rest of IT is ungoverned

An unread bill, an oversharing tenant, unlabelled data, a daily run nobody measures: that is where pilots stall. So this domain sits inside a ten-domain framework, and the same named leader makes the other nine AI-ready: cost, cyber security, data and the rest.

That is the argument for buying AI as a domain of IT management rather than as a standalone project.

How it runs

Diagnose. Deliver. Decide.
01

Diagnose

We sit with the people who actually run the estate: MSP, finance, operations, whoever holds the passwords. For this domain we also look at the shared drive nobody has audited and the workflow eating someone's day.

02

Deliver

Visible progress in weeks, with a board-readable outcome. For this domain, often the AI position in writing, the tenant made safe, and the first workflow scoped or shipped.

03

Decide

It's your call. Keep the seat filled at one or two days a week, or keep the gains and run it yourselves. Either way the place is stronger.

The rhythm

First we listen. Then visible progress, scoped at diagnose. Then it's your call.

The same rhythm as how we work across the practice, whether this domain is bought as a sprint or owned through the seat.

FAQs

Asked before the board asks
Questions

Is Copilot safe to switch on?

It is safe when the tenant is. Oversharing, stale permissions and unlabelled data are what make Copilot risky in a regulated firm. Governance fixes Purview and labels first, buys Copilot licences only for the people who need them, then runs a 30-day pilot with that group.

Have you put AI agents into production yourselves?

Yes. Call 0117 456 5486. The voice that answers is our own AI call agent, in production, on our own line. We run our practice on what we sell.

Do we need an AI policy before anything else?

You need a written position the board can read: what the firm uses, what it does not, who owns the risk, and what you would tell the insurer. It is usually the first deliverable in this domain, and it is short.

How is the AI domain bought?

The front door is the AI Opportunity Audit, from £4,950 fixed. Two fixed sprints then deliver: Microsoft Copilot readiness from £7,500 and a production IT agent from £7,500. The fractional Head of IT seat, from £4,750 a month, covers AI alongside the other nine domains. Any single domain can be owned on its own, priced in conversation.

Will you automate everything we do?

No. One workflow at a time, with a clear owner and a clear finish line. We build where an automation earns its keep, we measure what it saves, and then we decide together whether there is a next one.

What does AI governance mean for a regulated firm?

A written answer to the questions that are already arriving: what data the tools can see, who is accountable for their output, and what the insurer or a client audit would be told. When the form asks about AI, the firm answers in a sentence instead of a scramble.
