Building an AI Centre of Excellence into a self-sufficient capability​

The outcome: a CoE that now runs the full AI lifecycle itself, proven by two solutions built live in eight weeks.​

CONTEXT

A US legal services and eDiscovery provider, PE-backed and growing rapidly through acquisition. AI governance policies, a firm-wide Copilot roll-out and company-wide training were already in place, alongside an internal AI Committee of Excellence. What the CoE wanted was guidance on building a prioritised AI roadmap, and the best-practice method to identify, size, build and embed workflows itself. Operationally, client records were fragmented across eight systems with no single customer view, and manual quality- control checks consumed skilled time in record delivery. Palladium was engaged for eight weeks: two weeks of workshops and hands-on training to map the value chain and rank opportunities, then six weeks turning that roadmap into running software, with the CoE leading the second build.​

THE OUTCOME
  • Mapped the end-to-end value chain and ranked 15 AI opportunities by
    impact and feasibility into a sequenced adoption roadmap​
  • Delivered two AI solutions into live operations: intelligent quality-control automation and a unified client view​
  • Automated review expected to cut quality-control effort from 40 staff hours a week to around two – close to a full-time equivalent returned to billable work​
  • Eight source systems reconciled into one entity model, with duplicates surfaced and a point-of-entry look-up so the problem is not recreated​
  • Guardrails, compliance and KPI tracking validated, so the CoE now owns the full lifecycle – identify, measure, build, embed and track​
