Frontier Firm Workshop: Reimagine Your Business with Copilot Agents

Inspire your Board and executive leadership to think beyond automation.

The “Reimagine Your Business with Copilot Agents & The Frontier Firm Vision” workshop by TC1 Labs helps CEOs, Board Members, and VPs understand how Generative AI and Copilot Agents are redefining how organizations operate — and how to adopt and govern AI responsibly to evolve into a Frontier Firm, where agents operate and humans lead.

💡 Context

Today, 95% of organizations are not realizing real ROI from AI because they only use it to automate tasks. True transformation happens when companies redesign their business models around human–agent collaboration.

In this workshop, leaders will explore how organizations are: • Increasing productivity without expanding their workforce. • Opening new revenue streams with the same or fewer people. • Improving margins through AI-driven organizational redesign.

🧠 Executive Inspiration & Human–Agent Evolution

The session begins with the “Journey to the Frontier Firm,” introducing the three stages of AI maturity:

1. Human with Assistant — AI supports individuals on basic tasks.
2. Human–Agent Teams — Humans and agents collaborate on decisions and workflows.
3. Human-Led, Agent-Operated — Humans focus on direction, innovation, and governance while agents execute at scale.

Participants will also learn to measure this evolution through the Human–Agent Ratio (HAR) — a new board-level indicator that quantifies how AI agents are augmenting decision-making, execution, and creativity.

🧩 The RISE Framework

RISE is TC1 Labs’ AI Adoption & Governance framework for Frontier Firms, aligned with Microsoft Responsible AI and Zero Trust AI Security. It represents four stages of AI-First maturity:

R – Redefine: Reimagine processes, roles, and structures by integrating AI agents. I – Implement: Activate pilots, governance, and ethical and security controls. S – Sustain: Scale human–agent collaboration through continuous optimization. E – Evaluate: Measure impact, maturity, and Human Agent Ratio.

Supported by three strategic pillars: • Transformation — Organizational redesign powered by Copilot agents. • Responsibility — Ethics, transparency, and traceability in AI use. • Security — Data, identity, and agent protection.
