Solution

HSP GRUPPE treated ChatGPT Enterprise as an organizational capability instead of a standalone productivity tool. Leadership combined monthly AI forums, role-based learning, and internal governance requirements so employees could use AI across tax advisory, legal research, client communication, financial analysis, and knowledge sharing while professionals retained final responsibility for outputs. The network standardized workflows into shared agents such as AI Client Communication for first drafts and tone support, and Booking Assistant SKR03 & SKR04 for preparing and classifying booking questions. Individual professionals then used the platform as a sparring partner for complex tax work and meeting preparation, while the organization began piloting ChatGPT Work to redesign workflows like year-end accounting into more proactive, agentic processes. This created a scalable operating model where repeatable best practices are embedded once and reused across legally independent firms.

Data flow

Professionals submit client communications, booking questions, legal and tax research, and financial-analysis tasks into ChatGPT Enterprise and shared agents. Outputs are reviewed by the relevant specialist, while successful patterns are standardized into reusable agents and later extended into broader workflow pilots with ChatGPT Work.
