💼 AI is Changing the Rules of the Game in Consulting

Generative AI is not destroying the professional services industry, but it is breaking the old model of billing for hours worked. As AI takes over the routine tasks of drafting and coding, selling "time" becomes unprofitable.

🌍 The industry needs to transition to value-based pricing. Companies stuck in the "man-hour" sales model will face a sharp decline in profitability.

👤 Professionals in analytics, coding, and consulting must understand: your value now lies not in the volume of time spent, but in the quality of solutions and the management of risks that AI might miss.
