Reshaping human-centred businesses to compete in an AI-enabled world

Publication
Published: 
AI and intensifying competition are set to reshape the business model of professional services firms, including legal, engineering, marketing and advertising businesses. While demand for experienced advice, judgement and trusted client relationships will remain, the way services are delivered, resourced and priced is changing.

These shifts will likely move firms away from the traditional hours-driven pyramid model toward smaller, more senior, AI-enabled teams. That transition will place pressure on profitability unless firms modernise their technology environment, reset performance expectations, rethink roles and career pathways, and reshape service delivery.

The important message for boards and executive teams is to act sooner rather than later. Early movers will be better placed to fund AI investment, protect margins and compete on speed, quality and value by deliberately reshaping their operating models and cost structures before market pressure forces more reactive change.
