"This framework is highly commendable as it focuses on both technological advancement and human empowerment, ensuring a balanced and sustainable transformation. Your team needs to read, understand, and execute the Fieldguide AI Maturity Framework."

Firms face rising client demands, regulatory pressure, and a shrinking talent pipeline, all while AI adoption accelerates. Many want to embrace AI, but without a clear roadmap, efforts stall, leaving teams overextended and tools disconnected.
The six levels of the AI Maturity Framework change that. Developed with industry leaders, it gives firms a path to adopt AI responsibly, scale intelligently, and prepare for the future of the profession.
By putting AI in service of human expertise, firms can expand capacity, increase quality, elevate practitioners, and deliver the insight clients expect—building a future where human judgment, client trust, and AI work together.
For firms, it means scalable growth without more headcount. For clients, it means higher quality and more insight.
For the profession, it means a shift from repetitive tasks to empowered practitioners who lead and thrive.
Expand capacity without adding headcount by automating repeatable tasks and embedding AI into workflows. Standardize delivery across teams, strengthen margins, and unlock scalable growth while maintaining quality, trust, and oversight.
By putting AI in service of human expertise, firms deliver faster and more consistent engagements. Practitioners spend less time on tasks and more time applying judgment, analysis, and client guidance—raising quality and deepening client relationships.
Shift work away from repetitive tasks toward orchestration, strategy, and leadership. Redesign the practitioner experience to reduce burnout, retain talent, and create a future-ready workforce where professionals can grow, thrive, and lead.
