TSCi CEO Sam Shar argues that while AI has genuine potential to improve consulting outcomes, West Monroe's move to hand out AI-generated strategy documents for free risks conditioning clients to see consulting as little more than packaged thinking — ultimately devaluing the embedded, execution-focused work that delivers real results.
His take: the future of consulting isn't AI-generated strategy decks, it's accountability, measurable KPIs, and consultants working shoulder-to-shoulder with clients to drive outcomes.
