UK Consulting Firms-Clients-AI Fee Impact Sources for Financial Times

AI, the pyramid model and falling consulting fees? Media request for comment - Financial Times article. The Financial Times has commissioned me to write an analysis article on how, as management consulting firms lean more on AI, their business clients are demanding/will demand a reduction in consulting fees. I think it's a really interesting subject. I'm pretty sure people have some strong views on it! NB: My article is focused on UK management consulting firms. Who I'm looking to talk to: - A couple of UK businesses who say they've demanded/will demand that their UK management consultant firm cuts fees/changes it's fees to reflect AI use - 2-3 management consulting firms who do business in the UK (How AI is changing/will change their fees; or maybe it won't? As AI automates a growing proportion of consulting tasks - data analysis, idea generation, strategy advice … how are firms justifying to clients their fees and any fee increases? Are clients requesting/demanding a reduction in fees or hinting that they will next year? Have any consultants cut their fees recently in response to greater AI use and client requests?) - An AI/tech expert with deep knowledge of how consulting firms are using AI in their business, estimates for how much time/productivity benefits AI creates, whether consultants are adjusting their fees in response to greater AI use If you meet one of the criteria above, please email me: [email redacted] In your pitch email, please let me know in four-five brief paragraphs: - What your company does in language a 10-year-old would understand - Why they're the right expert to comment for the FT article (rather than hundreds of other similar experts/businesses. Please answer the "so what?" and "why now?" questions) - What the expert can say - 3-4 bullet points - Any case studies/real-life anecdotes to back up broad claims - Any recent, new and proprietary information/research that are relevant to the key issues in my article I'm looking to do interviews in the next few weeks and early January. What I DON'T want: Generic, self-serving comment from tech suppliers with a few AI product features who don't specialise in the consulting market, haven't read this post properly and just want to plug their average product.

UK HE Staff with Disabilities or Neurodivergence for Podcast Interviews

🚨 New disability resource and opportunity for UK HE professionals (HEnabled) 🚨 Happy International Day of Persons with Disabilities everyone! Yesterday, I had the pleasure to sit down with Fiona Bicket for an introductory virtual coffee. It was a deeply insightful discussion which covered everything from our roles in higher education, to the challenges facing the sector as a whole and what we can do about them.I have learned so much about what Fiona does as a coach and mentor to HE professional services staff, specifically those in managerial positions and prospective managers. Please check out her profile if you are interested in finding out more! As part of this chat, Fiona has been kind enough give me the opportunity to share HEnabled with her network. Here's what you need to know: HEnabled showcases the lived experience of disabled and neurodivergent people, as well as those with long-term health conditions in the UK Higher Education system. There is a new episode every Sunday, with a different guest each week talking about their experiences as a disabled person in the sector. The show has been running for over a year and has 30 episodes to date. To the best of my knowledge, HEnabled is the first independent podcast to share the lived experiences of disabled people in UK higher education, regardless of their university or the nature of their condition(s). This makes it an incredible resource for HE providers, policymakers, and disabled students themselves. We can hear what needs to be improved in the HE sector directly from the people in it, while providing them a platform to show others that they are not alone. While the vast majority of my interviewees to date have been university students, I am looking to interview anyone involved in HE as professional services staff, support staff, academics, researchers, etc. If you are part of UK higher education I want to hear from you. If you are also able to share this show around your own networks, I would be deeply appreciative. HEnabled is not currently income generating but it takes a lot of energy to produce–the more eyes that I can get on it, the sooner that I hope to change that. If you want to find out more you can listen to the show on Spotify here: https://lnkd.in/dfzc383R Links to other streaming platforms and social media channels can be found via the Linktree link here: https://linktr.ee/henabled I hope that you find the show enjoyable and would love to hear from you via Linkedin or email ([email redacted]) if you would be interested in coming on the show. Thanks for taking the time to read this :) ID: The HEnabled logo. It has the text 'HEnabled.' in white text on a teal background.
