A survival guide to AI

Two weeks ago, we reported that Qatalyst studied the threat that AI poses for consulting firms by speaking to clients, consultants, developers and others, reading current research, and  testing out advances in LLMs and apps. A report was made freely available.

Now, Qatalyst openly offers its take on the strategy that consulting firms could implement to face the challenge. This takes the form of a report and companion deck. Qatalyst contends that six steps are required:

  1. finding your niches that AI can’t touch
  2. clearly defining and prioritizing your use cases
  3. adapting commercial AI tools and developing your own
  4. reshaping your team for the AI era
  5. working with others on AI
  6. repeating these steps as AI and markets continue to evolve
