Dejan Kosutic discusses whether AI will take over consulting, drawing on his experience using ChatGPT to complete an ISO 17024 exam validity assessment for Advisera that previously would have required hiring a consultant. He concludes that traditional consulting focused on guiding processes, creating documentation, and answering questions will face major pressure as AI improves. However, consulting has big advantage over AI in innovation and change management. He introduces the Consulting Evolution Matrix with four approaches—Knowledge advisors, Innovation strategists, Change enablers, and Transformation partners—arguing growth will be strongest in business transformation, and urging consultants relying on the Knowledge advisor model to shift toward other quadrants.
