Almost three-quarters of professionals now use AI several times a week, but are their organizations getting real value from it? In this episode of Clarity on Tech, Mike Abbott speaks with Thomson Reuterssegment presidents Raghu Ramanathan (Legal), Elizabeth Beastrom (Tax, Audit& Accounting) and Liz Zimick (Corporates) about key takeaways from our latest Future of Professionals research, including the gap between AI strategy and execution, the rise of shadow AI, and what leaders should do in the next 90 days.

Across all three sectors, the core challenge is the same: the tools and ambition are there, but translating strategy into daily practice is where organizations stall. The conversation digs into the "elevate, scale, reimagine" strategic paths, the rise of shadow AI and the accountability gap it exposes, and what leaders should actually do in the next 90 days to close the gap.

 

Why you should listen

1. Hear how client pressure is reshaping legal, with 32% of in-house teams ready to walk away from firms that can't show clear AI value, and why so many law firm leaders may be underestimating the risk.

2. Understand why adoption without strategy is the trap, from tax and audit firms racing to do more returns faster on increasingly commoditized work, to corporate functions treating AI as a series of projects rather than a journey.

3. Get concrete, sector-specific 90-day actions from each leader, including a reframing of shadow AI not as a discipline problem but as a signal that professionals need better, fiduciary-grade tools built for trusted work.
