I have come to the view that the majority of our effort with advanced business automation (aka AI) will be in the business adoption space. This will be the big lesson learnt in 2026.
In this Linked in post from Legora Max welcomes the legal plugin from Anthropic by reminding everyone its not just about the AI engine – its about how it is consumed – its the platform not just the tech.
Extending that it then becomes about new ways of working and from there its about adoption.
Authentic adoption will only come from a compelling share of benefits between the Firm, The Partitioner and the Customer.
Benefits will only be transformative if the come from systemic change – re engineering value streams.
It’s as obvious as data and yet no one talks about data.
Get a small team together to look at where you can reimagine your operations first, prioritise based on value, make sure the expectation on AI is realistic, check you have the mandate and the ability to persuade the business to work differently and start there.
