🔍 An interesting read for our network, Jon Bance from Leading Resolutions raises some timely points about the evolving consulting landscape and the risks of prioritising efficiency over genuine client value. As firms lean more heavily on AI and cost-cutting measures, it's vital to remember that successful consulting is still, at its core, a people business. Trust, expertise, and continuity matter. Clients deserve more than clever pitches, they deserve consistent delivery and real outcomes. “AI is not a replacement for strategic thinking... expertise needs to lead before tools.” Well worth a read for anyone working with (or within) consultancy in our network 🔗 https://bit.ly/4fp2Ny1 #Consulting #AIinBusiness #ClientExperience #DigitalTransformation #Leadership
