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.
