Slalom is a Seattle-based consulting firm of about 12,000 people⁠1Slalom ConsultingWikipedia. Its AI practice describes a path from use-case selection and governance to build and, if the client wants, ongoing operation⁠2Artificial intelligenceSlalom.

Best for: Upper mid-market and large companies that want one firm to set the AI strategy, build on their cloud platform and keep running it.

Not the right fit for: Buyers who want a published price or a small fixed-scope pilot from a specialist.

What Slalom does for a company

The practice is organised around six areas: business and customer value, workforce and organisation, experience and process, technology and data, strategic alignment and governance, and trust and security. Related offers include an Agentforce accelerator and agentic managed services. Slalom partners with AWS, Databricks, Google Cloud, Microsoft, OpenAI, Salesforce and Snowflake, and lists offices in 12 countries⁠2Artificial intelligenceSlalom.

Its own research, a survey of 2,000 leaders, reports that only 21% have enterprise-wide AI use cases and 93% report workforce barriers⁠2Artificial intelligenceSlalom. The emphasis on people shows in its client work.

Published evidence

Strengths

• Covers the full path from strategy and governance to build and ongoing operation.

Limits

• Most client stories on its AI page are headlines without figures.
• Pricing and engagement terms are not published.
