Turn AI ambition into working, measurable change.
Adoptis is a senior-led AI adoption and delivery practice for complex organisations. We work from leadership priorities through to real services and frontline teams to find where AI is worth using, test practical solutions, embed what works and evidence the value before scaling. No software to sell. No vendor commission. No junior delivery team.

The problem
AI is easy to demonstrate. It is harder to make useful at scale.
Organisations do not need more demonstrations of what AI might be capable of. They need to know which problems are worth solving, whether proposed uses work in the reality of their organisation, how people will adopt them, and whether the result justifies further investment.
In complex organisations, that means working within real constraints: existing systems, governance, data, budgets, operational pressures and very different levels of workforce confidence.
Adoptis works on that gap between AI ambition and everyday organisational value.

Who we help
Is Adoptis right for your organisation?
Adoptis works with complex organisations where governance, workforce needs, existing technology, financial pressure and evidence of value all matter.
- Leaders have discussed AI but have not agreed where to start.
- Employees are already using AI without consistent guidance.
- Copilot licences have been deployed but meaningful use remains patchy.
- Internal IT teams can deploy the technology but need support with adoption.
- Leadership needs evidence of value before making further investment.
The work is particularly relevant in public services, transport and infrastructure, regulated or operationally complex organisations, and larger private-sector environments.
A practical place to start
The AI Leadership Working Session
A short, tailored engagement built around a half day with your leadership team. Not a training course and not a presentation about what AI is. Structured work that ends with agreed priorities and a written 90 day plan.
£2,750 plus VAT for remote delivery and from £3,250 plus VAT on site. Delivered by a named senior Adoptis practitioner who remains involved through the engagement.
See the full session outlineWhat it covers
- Short conversations with three or four of your leaders beforehand, so the session is about your organisation rather than a generic agenda
- A grounded view of what these tools do well right now and where they fail
- A structured look at where the opportunities sit across your operation
- An agreed shortlist of the highest value use cases, and the ones to leave alone for now
- The risk, data and governance questions you need a position on
- What this means for your people, their roles and their confidence
- Clear leadership ownership, so the plan does not stall
- A written 90 day plan sent to you within five working days
How organisations use Adoptis
From the first decision to everyday use.
Adoptis helps complex organisations turn AI ambition into working, measurable change. We identify problems worth solving, test practical uses with the people who do the work, build adoption and capability, and evidence value before scaling. We do not sell software, earn vendor commission or provide large-scale systems integration.

Microsoft Copilot & AI
Licences do not change how people work.
Copilot is straightforward to deploy and considerably harder to embed. Some organisations reach widespread, purposeful use. In others, a group of enthusiasts get real value from it while everyone else tries it once and goes back to what they were doing.
Where that gap opens up, more licences and more feature training rarely close it. People use these tools when they can see the point in their own work, when their manager expects it, when they trust what it does with their information, and when the small practical obstacles have been cleared out of the way. That is organisational work rather than technical work.
Adoptis complements internal IT teams and Microsoft or technical partners rather than replacing them. Technical deployment gets the technology there. Adoptis gets the organisation using it.

Our approach
A method, applied to your organisation.
Six stages, used flexibly. Each one produces something the organisation can act on.
- 01
Understand
Understand the organisation, priorities, technology, workforce, constraints and problems worth solving.
- 02
Prioritise
Identify the opportunities with enough potential value to justify testing.
- 03
Prove
Develop and test use cases, prototypes or Agents with the people who will use them.
- 04
Engage
Create leadership ownership, employee involvement, communications, Champions and support.
- 05
Embed
Build internal capability and make successful new ways of working sustainable.
- 06
Measure & Scale
Evidence adoption and value, expand what works and stop what has not earned further investment.
Experience
Enterprise change. Real-world experience.
Adoptis is led by Andy Labrum, a principal consultant with over ten years leading change, communications, engagement and adoption on major Microsoft 365, Copilot and Oracle programmes across the public and private sectors. He is a Certified Microsoft Adoption Specialist and holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Change Management and Innovation.
He is joined by Michael Pattinson, Principal Associate, whose earlier career includes PwC, where he was a consulting director, and Network Rail, where he was a director leading delivery at national scale. Michael now works as an AI consultant across transport, education and the public sector, and builds and tests working prototypes rather than stopping at strategy.
Between them, that experience covers major organisations and complex public-sector environments, where governance, scale and competing priorities shape what adoption can realistically look like.

Selected work
Adoption, delivered.
The same work at different scales. The detail differs. The problem does not: technology arrives, and somebody has to make it part of how people actually work.
Case study
Swansea Council: Copilot adoption at scale.
Swansea Council introduced Microsoft 365 Copilot across a large, diverse workforce spanning corporate services, frontline teams and schools. Licences alone were never going to change how work got done.
Adoptis worked alongside the council’s internal teams to identify practical use cases by service area, engage leaders, build a Champions Network and deliver tailored training and hands-on support to colleagues at every level of confidence.
The result: Copilot moved from curiosity to everyday, purposeful use, with adoption evidenced and connected to service outcomes.
This is what staying for the delivery looks like. Not a strategy handed over at the door, but use cases, leaders, Champions, training and support, worked through with the organisation until it changed how people worked.
“Adoptis made such a difference to our AI journey, providing tailored training and support to so many colleagues.”
Case study
East Sussex County Council: Oracle Fusion ERP change and adoption.
A major local government Oracle Fusion ERP programme needed more than training and a communications plan. It needed change leadership embedded from the start so the workforce was ready, capable and aligned before go-live.
Over a twelve month engagement via Technical ERP Limited, Andy led organisational change, communications, engagement and training: the integrated change strategy, executive alignment, stakeholder engagement, culture and trust, and hands-on training delivery including Oracle Guided Learning.
The result: change and adoption were governed as a core programme deliverable, with clear metrics, leadership ownership and a measurable view of employee readiness.
“Andy is one of those people you want on your team. He brings humility while being effortlessly good at building relationships and drawing that change journey.”
Why Adoptis
The difference is what happens next.
Most advice in this market ends at the point where the work begins. You get a plan, a deck and a set of recommendations, then you are left to deliver them with the same people and the same capacity you had before. Adoptis is built the other way round.
We stay for the delivery
Deciding what to do is the easy half. We help you make the decision, then we help you deliver it, with the same person accountable from the first conversation to the point where it has actually changed how people work.
The people you meet deliver
We do not use the traditional consultancy pyramid. Each engagement is led by a named senior practitioner. Where specialist capacity is needed, experienced named associates are introduced openly around the requirement.
Nothing to sell you
Adoptis does not resell software, does not implement platforms and takes no commission from any vendor. There is no product waiting at the end of the advice. If AI is not where your attention should be this year, you will hear that.
Small enough to start now
A deliberately small senior team keeps the work focused and accountable, while adding specialist capacity only where the agreed requirement genuinely needs it.
Investment
Engagements are scoped to your priorities and delivered by senior practitioners. We typically agree a fixed price for an initial phase, with flexible ongoing support once the shape of the work is clear. You pay for expertise and outcomes, not consultancy overhead.
How we workCommon questions
Questions organisations ask.
What does an AI adoption consultancy do?
An AI adoption consultancy helps an organisation identify where AI is worth using, prove priority uses in real work, build adoption and capability, and measure whether the result creates enough value to scale. Adoptis works from leadership priorities through to services, operational teams and frontline employees.
What is the 90-Day AI Value Programme?
It is a focused three-month engagement that moves from organisational priorities to evidence. Adoptis identifies and prioritises worthwhile opportunities, works with selected teams to test practical use cases and prototypes or Copilot Agents where appropriate, supports adoption, and finishes with a clear view of what should scale, stop or happen next.
What is an AI Leadership Working Session?
An AI Leadership Working Session is a short engagement for organisations that have not yet agreed where AI is worth pursuing. It includes short leadership interviews, a tailored half-day session, agreed priorities, a written 90-day plan and a follow-up review.
How much does an AI Leadership Working Session cost?
Remote delivery is £2,750 plus VAT. On-site delivery starts from £3,250 plus VAT, with travel and accommodation agreed separately in advance.
Who delivers Adoptis work?
Adoptis is deliberately small and senior-led. The people clients meet are the people who do the work. Each engagement is led by a named senior practitioner who remains involved throughout. Where specialist capacity is genuinely needed, experienced named associates are introduced openly around the requirement.
Does Adoptis implement AI software?
No. Adoptis does not sell licences or software, earn vendor commission, provide Microsoft tenant implementation or position itself as a large systems integrator. Where substantial technical build or integration is required, Adoptis works alongside the organisation’s internal teams, Microsoft partner or an appropriate specialist.
Can Adoptis work with our existing Microsoft partner?
Yes. Adoptis is complementary to Microsoft partners and internal IT teams. Technical specialists configure, secure and deploy the technology. Adoptis focuses on opportunity selection, real-world testing, workforce adoption, organisational capability and measurable value.
What happens after an initial AI pilot?
Adoptis can help decide what has earned further investment, strengthen adoption around what worked, build internal ownership and capability, and scale successful approaches across more services or teams. Work that has not demonstrated enough value should be stopped or redesigned rather than expanded automatically.
How should AI adoption and value be measured?
Measurement should combine meaningful usage, employee confidence, adoption of agreed use cases and a small number of operational, productivity or service outcomes. Licence activation and training attendance alone do not show whether AI has improved real work.
