How is AI transforming consulting and what’s next for firms?  

In this episode of the Future of the Firm podcast, Bhaskar Ghosh, former Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer at Accenture, joins Emma Carroll, Head of Client Voice at Source, to explore how AI is already transforming the consulting industry and the big mistakes firms must avoid making. 

In this episode, we explore the following questions and more: 

  • Will AI shrink or grow the consulting industry? 
  • Is the biggest risk to consulting firms not job losses, but loss of judgement? 
  • How will AI impact firm profitability? 
  • How can firms navigate the “Three C’s” (cannibalisation, cost structure, capabilities) of AI disruption? 
  • Where will clients really need consultants to unlock value from AI? 
  • What is the biggest mistake consulting leaders risk making around AI?
