Here’s what I think - this isn’t the end of consulting, but the start of a reinvention. The firms that thrive will be those that teach AI with their people, not instead of them.

For years, AI automated factory lines and paperwork. Now, it’s climbing higher - taking on white-collar work that demands reasoning, communication, and analysis. 

The consulting industry, worth hundreds of billions globally, may be one of the first to feel the impact.

Mercor pays professionals around $110/hour to review data, correct AI outputs, and teach models to “think” like consultants - training systems like Google’s Gemini to handle entry-level consulting work.

The consultants who built the playbook are now teaching it to AI. 

According to @bloomberglp.bsky.social , about 150 ex-consultants from @mckinseyconsulting.bsky.social, Bain, and BCG have joined a secretive project called Argentum, led by US startup Mercor, now valued at $10B.

In my experience, successful AI transformation starts small - with purpose, trust, and continuous learning.

Here are 5 common mistakes leaders make when adopting AI, and how to avoid them.

AI adoption isn’t about having the latest tools - it’s about asking the right questions.

Too often, companies rush into AI without clear goals, clean data, or a plan to bring their people along. The result? Expensive pilots that never scale.
