Upcoming Webinar
For decades, consulting has sold expertise delivered by people and billed by the hour — but Agentic AI is now doing much of the analysis, benchmarking, and roadmap-building that once justified that model. However, it is the very technology putting the model at risk which may also be its saviour, as Agentic AI implementations are rarely successful if done alone. This webinar unpacks where consulting can add value in the Agentic AI world, what's actually changing in how consulting is delivered and priced, and what the future workforce and talent model looks like when agents handle execution, and humans concentrate on judgment, governance, and change. Drawing on findings from the new EY x Hypatos whitepaper, we’ll separate the organizations positioned to capture real value from those stuck running pilots.
