Legal Insider: Report: Knowledge maturity identified as key differentiator in AI success

This article highlights findings from the iManage Knowledge Work 2026 Benchmark Report and insights from Global Insights Director Laura Wenzel. The research shows that while most professional services firms are experimenting with AI, only a small percentage have integrated it into daily operations. Organizations with strong, well‑governed knowledge foundations consistently outperform peers on AI adoption, revenue growth, client trust, and long‑term competitiveness. The report underscores that true AI success depends on mature knowledge environments—governance, structure, and data quality—rather than rapid experimentation alone.
