How will consulting firms transition away from the traditional time-and-materials pricing model to consumption-based plans?  Why is it essential for consulting firms to build software-style product management capabilities?  How are predefined agents and fully autonomous systems fundamentally changing client experience and delivery models?  In a complex IT landscape packed with overlapping tools, why is the demand for a centralised "agent management platform" becoming critical for clients?  How will delivery models change over the next 5 to 10 years, and what will separate the winners from the losers?  If you are interested in how generative AI and autonomous agents could reshape the consulting profession, this conversation is for you.  If you enjoyed this conversation, don't miss our sister podcast, Business Leader's Voice. In this series, we talk directly to business leaders about what is disrupting their industries, what occupies their headspace.   ","author_name":"The Future of the Firm","author_url":"https:\/\/www.sourceglobalresearch.com","html":"
