About Kaaspi
Business-led support for knowledge, AI and process improvement
Kaaspi helps knowledge-intensive firms bring structure to business problems, information, processes and technology requirements.
Knowledge Architecture. AI Strategy. Process Improvement.
Kaaspi works where business analysis, knowledge management, information architecture, technology selection and practical change meet.
What Kaaspi does
Kaaspi is a specialist consultancy for financial, legal and professional services firms that need to make important knowledge, process and technology decisions more structured and practical.
The work often begins where a firm knows something is not working as well as it should, but the problem is not isolated to one tool, one team or one process.
Kaaspi helps clarify the business problem, understand the information and process foundations, define practical requirements, and create a route to improvement.

Business-led technology and AI readiness
Richard’s work has often sat between business need, knowledge structure, process design and technology adoption. He helps organisations understand business problems, clarify requirements, assess technology options and prepare knowledge and information foundations for future analysis, automation and AI-enabled work.
Kaaspi’s approach is simple: start with the business problem, the information architecture, the process and the practical requirements before selecting or implementing technology.
How Kaaspi works
Kaaspi is designed for firms that need senior, practical support without immediately committing to a large programme of change.
Most engagements can be shaped as fixed-scope, fixed-fee reviews, workshops or improvement sprints, giving the firm clarity at the outset on scope, cost, outputs and next steps.
Where further support is useful, follow-on work can be scoped separately around implementation planning, workshops, project delivery or targeted advisory support.
