What if AI doesn't just change how consultants do the work, but completely changes the consulting business model itself? Will Hinde believes we may be heading toward the death of the traditional billable hour and a future built around productization, intellectual property, and entirely different ways of delivering value. And he has a really unique vantage point.
His perspective comes from more than 25 years in management and technology consulting with over $900 million in consulting revenue generated throughout his career. Today he is the President of Consulting Services at the Addison Group. Will is focused on accelerating growth across six different consulting brands, after spending years growing and evaluating professional services businesses that he has been a big part of acquiring.
So in this episode, you're going to discover why smaller consulting firms may actually have an advantage in this changing market, why specialization matters more than ever, and how Will thinks that firms need to redesign themselves to compete in an AI-driven world.
If you're thinking about what your consulting firm needs to look like over the next several years, and not just today, then this conversation is one that you're going to want to hear.
Enjoy.
