Is it time to redefine the consulting playbook with AI as your new operating partner? From Cognizant's bold move with Anthropic to the shifting role of human consultants, the team looks at how embedded intelligence is reshaping strategy execution and value creation in professional services.

This week, Pete Buer breaks down why Cognizant's enterprise-scale rollout of Claude AI to each of its 350,00 team members AND co-selling it is more than just a tech headline. It's a blueprint for AI as a transformational tool for how services are delivered. Pete and Courtney also dig into what Digg founder and VC investor Kevin Rose's blunt take on which AI wearables he'll consider investing in signals acrosss the broader AI ecosystem.

And in our weekly roundtable segment, David and Mohan join Courtney to explore how an AI Operating Partner for professional services companies might not replace consultants, but rather elevate them, shifting their focus from analysis to storytelling, judgment, and client empathy. The real challenge? Avoiding the trap of AI-enabled mediocrity.
