AI adoption advisory

Redesign the workflows that matter. Embed what works.

AI adoption starts with the work, not another tool.

CURN's strategists and product engineers work alongside your team to choose one important workflow, agree what better looks like, redesign the work around AI and prove it in practice. The platform turns the proven method into a governed playbook your firm can adopt, improve and reuse.

Advisory & platform

The advisory redesigns the work. The platform helps it spread.

Keep using the AI tools your teams already use. CURN works with the people doing the job to build and test a better workflow, then preserves the successful method so it does not stay trapped with one person or team.

  • Decisions and context preserved
  • Governed playbooks shared and improved
One integrated system

Advisory redesigns. Teams prove. The platform scales.

The first engagement

Start with one workflow and one agreed outcome.

We work inside the workflow, alongside the people who do the job, and expand only when the evidence supports it.

  1. 01 /

    Choose the workflow

    We map the work, select one important workflow and agree what a meaningful improvement would look like.

  2. 02 /

    Redesign it together

    Our AI strategists and product engineers work with the people doing the job to redesign the workflow around AI.

  3. 03 /

    Prove it in practice

    The team tests the new way of working on real work, checks it against the agreed measure and improves what falls short.

  4. 04 /

    Embed what works

    We capture the proven method as a governed playbook, assign an owner and agree how adoption and improvement will continue.

What your firm keeps

Three assets that outlast the engagement.

Not a presentation about AI. Practical operating assets your team can use after we leave.

Workflow opportunity map

A prioritised view of where AI could improve the work, which workflow to start with and what outcome would matter.

A proven way of working

One redesigned workflow tested with the people who do the job and captured as a governed, reusable playbook.

An adoption operating model

Clear ownership, governance, measures and reuse patterns so the new method can improve after the engagement.

Who this is for

Built for teams where expertise is expensive to lose.

We work best with knowledge-heavy teams where research, judgement and repeatable process live in how people work, not only in documents.

Investment teams

For diligence, sourcing, memo and portfolio workflows that need to be captured before they fragment across deal teams.

Portfolio operators

For value creation, operating improvements and repeatable portfolio company playbooks.

Research teams

For recurring research, market monitoring and judgement-heavy analysis that should compound across the team.

Advisory teams

For delivery methods, sector knowledge and client workflows that should become reusable team assets.

A good fit usually has repeated high-value workflows, senior sponsorship and at least one team ready to test a better way of working. See how this applies to CURN for investment firms or CURN for advisory firms.

FAQ

Common questions

  • What does a first engagement look like?

    We choose one important workflow with your team, agree what better would look like, redesign the work around AI and test it in practice. Your firm keeps the proven method, its owner and the operating model around it.

  • How long does an engagement take?

    The scope follows the workflow, the people involved and the evidence needed to judge it. We agree those stages before work begins and expand only when the result justifies it.

  • How is the advisory priced?

    We scope the work around the workflow, team and level of support required. We agree the commercial model after an initial conversation about your starting point and intended outcome.

  • Is CURN advisory or software?

    It is AI adoption advisory supported by a platform. Our strategists and product engineers help your team choose, redesign and prove the workflow. The platform preserves the method as a governed playbook people can adopt, improve and reuse.

  • How does CURN make AI adoption stick?

    We start with one important workflow and an agreed outcome. We redesign it with the people doing the work, test it in practice, assign an owner and preserve the successful method on the platform. The result is a way of working the team can keep using, not a one-off AI experiment.

  • Where is CURN based and who do you work with?

    CURN is an AI adoption advisory and platform business based in London, working with UK and international teams. We focus on knowledge-heavy firms where expertise is expensive to lose, including investment firms, portfolio operators, research teams and advisory firms.

  • How can CURN help us adopt AI across the firm?

    CURN helps firms make AI part of everyday work, workflow by workflow. We find the work that matters, redesign it around AI, prove the new method in practice and turn what succeeds into a playbook the firm can adopt, govern and improve.

  • What does our firm keep after the first engagement?

    Your firm keeps three practical assets: a workflow opportunity map, a proven way of working captured as a governed playbook and an adoption operating model with clear ownership and measures. CURN can then help with another workflow if the evidence supports it.

  • Is this only for investment firms and consultancies?

    No. We are starting with knowledge-heavy teams where expertise is expensive to lose, but the underlying problem applies anywhere repeated work, judgement and process matter.

  • Do we need to be advanced with AI already?

    No. Some firms need help choosing where AI could improve the work. Others already have strong individual users and need to make their methods reusable. CURN works from either starting point.

  • What do you need from us?

    One important workflow, access to the people who do it, a sponsor who can remove obstacles and a practical measure of what better would mean.
