    This is part 2 of my investigation into AI's impact on consulting. In part 1, we uncovered how AI is enabling a two-person consultancy to compete with McKinsey. Now, we reveal why traditional consulting firms might become extinct faster than anyone expected.

    Two weeks ago, I shared data from 384 interviews showing how AI is completely restructuring the consulting landscape. Many of you reached out to discuss this more in-depth - some skeptical, others excited, all wanting to know more.

    Today, we're going deeper. We'll explore:

    • 📈 The New Economics of AI-Powered Consulting

    • 🧠 The Evolution of AI Capabilities

    • 🛠️ The Tools Reshaping Consulting

    • 🌟 New Business Models

    • ⚠️ The Barriers

    • 🚀 Predictions for 5 years ahead

    \n\n

    This isn't just another tech trend. This is a fundamental rewiring of how value is created and delivered in consulting. And the numbers are staggering.
