Code X Connor Ep5: Evolution of Consulting in the Age of AI
About this episode
CodeStrap's "Code and Connor" Episode 5 is live! This episode features our friends Usman Sheikh and James O'Dowd, two business leaders with incredibly strong and accurate perspectives on the ongoing evolution of consulting.
Our fifth episode focuses on:
→ LegacyCo vs. NewCo - The markets will decide the timeline
→ Reinvention requires structural change, which may need to be drastic to escape organizational gravity
→ From headcount to compute - transitioning from staffing armies to services-as-software
→ Shift from effort to outcomes - incentivization is changing, reducing the hidden drag on innovation
→ The outcome of consulting will be workforce, not PowerPoints
→ Private equity’s investment in services and the culture, talent, and tech hurdles they face
→ Flight from Big Consulting is real
