The rise of AI may well be the most urgent topic facing the consulting industry today. But beyond the hype, how can firms successfully use AI to transform their operating model?
In this episode of the Future of the Firm podcast, Dan Diasio, Global consulting AI Leader at EY, and Colm Sparks-Austin, Americas Tech Consulting Leader at EY, join our Head of Content, Emma Carroll, to re-imagine consulting through the prism of AI.
We address the following questions and more:
- How can firms move past retrofitting AI into old processes and instead rethink how they operate from first principles?
- How are firms managing the major challenges around pricing AI-enabled services?
- What are the limits of using AI in professional services? (If there are any).
- What will the professional services workforce look like in 2030?
- What are clients buying in the AI space?
- What is the single biggest pitfall firms must avoid when trying to get the best results out of AI?
