What comes after strategy consulting as we knew it?
Consulting is changing. AI is challenging traditional business models, clients are demanding different kinds of value, and the skills needed to succeed are evolving.
Alt-Consulting explores what comes next.
Through the book, conversations and original thinking, we explore how consulting is being reinvented, what the next generation of advisory models could look like, and what this means for consultants, business leaders and those aspiring to enter the profession.
Alt-Consulting: What Comes After Strategy Consulting as We Knew It
For decades, strategy consulting ran on a simple formula: prestigious firms, large teams and months-long projects. Generative AI is breaking that formula. Drawing on Clayton Christensen's theory of disruptive innovation and real transformation cases, the book is both a playbook and a case for reimagining professional services.
- Why the traditional consulting pyramid is giving way, and what replaces it
- Five new archetypes reshaping the industry
- What law firms learned when technology disrupted them first
- How to buy consulting differently: faster, cheaper and better
- What consultants at every level must do to stay relevant
