Our advisors came out of global systems integrators and top-tier consulting firms. Here you work with them directly. No pyramid of juniors billing under a partner’s name, and none of the overhead baked into a large firm’s rate card.

Hive Advisory Group is an AI strategy and governance advisory practice that helps mid-market companies decide where AI will create value and carry that through to results. The full program runs in four phases: AI Readiness Assessment, Strategy & Roadmap, Implementation Advisory, and Change & Capability Building. Targeted engagements, including Client 360, the AI Risk & Governance Review and AI Automation & Quick Wins, can be started on their own or layered onto the program. The firm is based in Nashville.
Hive works with mid-market organizations and is best suited to companies up to $2B in revenue, roughly 50 to 5,000 employees. That focus reflects how the firm is built, with senior advisors from global systems integrators and top-tier consulting firms working at a scale and cost a mid-market company can absorb. Industry work spans healthcare and life sciences, law firms, accounting firms and professional services.
An independent AI advisor is not tied to selling any platform, while a software vendor's guidance naturally centers on its own product. Hive is vendor-agnostic by design. We do not resell software licenses or accept platform referral fees, and our value is in the strategy and integration rather than the license. We help clients choose and integrate the platforms that fit their situation, often working with cloud, data and automation tools already in their environment.
The first step with Hive is a 30-minute briefing with a senior advisor, with no pitch. The briefing looks at where AI can create value in your sector and what peers are already doing about it. An NDA is in place before anything confidential is disclosed, and you meet your assigned advisor, with their full background, before any commitment. Ahead of any agreement, we also provide a redacted sample deliverable, our methodology and client references.
For most mid-market companies, the most useful starting point is a clear view of where they stand today, which is what Hive's Phase 01 AI Readiness Assessment provides. It maps data, talent and infrastructure against AI opportunity and informs the prioritized plan built in Phase 02. Where leaders are more concerned about AI use that is already happening, the four-week AI Risk & Governance Review, priced as a fixed fee or on outcomes, can be a sensible first step. The initial briefing is usually where that choice is made.
A senior advisor will walk you through where AI creates leverage in your sector, and what your peers are already doing about it.
