Are you a consultant? Tell us how you're using AI.

For many years, consulting firms have relied on traditional methods, providing advice charged by the hour, with teams of junior staff dedicated to research, presentation creation, and information synthesis for top executives. However, the landscape is shifting dramatically as artificial intelligence begins to redefine the consulting sector. Leading firms such as McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, and Deloitte are now integrating AI into their operations, transitioning from mere buzzwords to essential tools. This technological advancement enables consultants to automate tasks such as coding, data analysis, and presentation drafting. Notably, McKinsey's CEO, Bob Sternfels, revealed that the firm currently employs 25,000 AI agents alongside its workforce of 40,000, with ambitions to achieve a one-to-one ratio of AI agents to human employees within the next 18 months. Boston Consulting Group is also making significant strides by developing thousands of customized AI models for both internal use and client projects, while actively assessing how their consultants interact with these technologies. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into everyday consulting practices, the industry is left to ponder not just the extent of this transformation, but also who stands to gain the most from these changes.
