Hive Advisory Group works with mid-market companies on AI strategy, governance and adoption. The firm is based in Nashville, and for leadership teams in the region the working sessions can happen in the same room.
AI decisions in a mid-market company usually involve a small leadership group, a few core systems and a handful of vendors. In our experience the work moves faster when the advisor can sit with that group and meet the people who will use the tools. Hive's advisors come from Capgemini, Accenture and McKinsey, and the practice was built to bring that rigor to mid-market companies at a scale and cost they can absorb. Engagements are not limited to Tennessee, and much of the work runs well by video.
Yes. Hive Advisory Group is an AI strategy and governance advisory practice based in Nashville that works with mid-market companies up to $2B in revenue, typically 50 to 5,000 employees. The firm is senior-only, with advisors from Capgemini, Accenture and McKinsey, and it is vendor-neutral, so it does not resell software or accept referral fees. Engagements range from a four-week AI Risk & Governance Review to a full four-phase AI program.
No. Hive is based in Nashville, and engagements are not limited to Tennessee. Much of the work, including interviews and working sessions, runs well by video. For leadership teams that prefer to meet in person, particularly in the Nashville area, we are glad to come to you. The first conversation is a 30-minute briefing with a senior advisor, in person or by phone.
The main difference is structure rather than geography. Hive's advisors trained at Capgemini, Accenture and McKinsey, but the firm is a senior collective rather than a pyramid, so the advisor who scopes an engagement is the advisor who delivers it. Being local also means leadership sessions and site walks can happen in person, which in our experience tends to shorten discovery.
Hive works with healthcare and life sciences, logistics and distribution, manufacturing and supply chain, financial services, law firms, accounting firms and other professional services firms. It also works with procurement teams across sectors. Each industry page on this site sets out the specific use cases and governance questions we focus on, from PHI governance in healthcare to explainable models in financial services.
Most companies are best served by first establishing where AI is already being used, because a policy written without that view rarely matches what is happening. Hive's AI Risk & Governance Review does this in four weeks for a fixed fee and closes with a governance roadmap leadership can act on. Where the question is where AI will create value, the AI Readiness Assessment is usually the better starting point.
