Consultants Talk
<p>In this episode, we share a preview of our newest research -- the 2026 Consulting Navigator report. The Navigator is a detailed breakdown of the global consulting market, with market size and forecast data as well as ratings and assessments of consulting providers and their capability-building investments. My colleague and report author, Nathan Simon shares details on the rapidly changing consulting landscape.</p>
Consultants Talk
<p>Most consulting firms are still using AI to do fairly routine and basic tasks. But firms are experimenting and getting a lot closer to what a consulting partner would produce. But will AI replace that expertise? </p><p>In this episode, we talk with Professor Joe O'Mahoney, the consultants' consultant. He's been advising firms for more than 20 years, with a particular emphasis on building equity and value for boutique firms. He explains what AI still doesn't do, which is understand the political environment of the client. So as firms narrow their pyramid, that expertise becomes even more important. </p>
Consultants Talk
<p>Conventional wisdom says top-level partners are the "rainmakers" for consulting firms. David Ryan, founder of Gray Matters Group, tells us that real revenue generation comes from the other 90% of your consulting staff. David has spent the last 20+ years advising professional services firms on how to activate front-line consultants to be your most effective business development team. Host Tom Rodenhauser and David discuss the pragmatic skills, tools, and behaviors that can be immediately applied to provide an immediate revenue boost.</p>
Consultants Talk
<p>Consulting's mentorship model has long been the foundation of the industry. Does AI threaten to undermine this principle? Will bots be the teachers rather than the experienced partners? In this episode, Tom talks with Tony Klimas, who has been a senior partner at EY as well as KPMG and Bearingpoint. His capstone was as President of Horvath USA. Reflecting on more than three decades of leadership and service in consulting, Tony believes AI will actually enable firms to be more responsive to teaching the skills necessary to succeed in the consulting industry.</p>
Consultants Talk
<p>Every consulting firm talks about values and principles. But do they live them? In this episode, Tom talks with Adam Boitnott, founder of fast-growing Hylaine Consulting, on what it's like to say "no" to clients. Adam's philosophy was formed early in his career, when, as a junior consultant at Accenture, he sent the CEO a list of suggestions for bettering the firm. Today he teaches staffers that doing right by client means more than the bottom line.</p>
