Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents both a major threat and a major opportunity for management consulting. In this online event, organised jointly by the BAM Management Consulting Network and the Centre for Management Consulting Excellence, we will showcase cutting-edge research that explores the application of AI in management consulting and its implications for the profession.

The event will comprise three online presentations, spread across the 6th of June. Each session will feature a presentation by the speaker followed by a question-and-answer session:

  • 10.00 – 11.30: ‘AI in Professional Service Firms: a research study’, Professor Joe O’Mahoney. Joe will present the findings of his recent research. The session will also include a breakout period for discussion in small groups followed by a whole-audience discussion.
  • 14.00 – 15.00: ‘Enhancing Consulting Outcomes: Business Sparks' AI-Powered Approach to Generating Innovative SME Strategies’, Dr Kos Zachos. Kos will demonstrate AI tools for consultants being developed at CebAI, the National Centre for Creativity enabled by AI at Bayes Business School.
  • 17.00 – 18.30: ‘Building the higher order management consultancy skills needed to excel in the AI era’, Professor David V L Smith and Adam Riley MBA. The session will provide an opportunity to discuss critical skills in more detail.

We will also be holding our monthly Management Consultancy Network Coffee Chat on 19th June from 08:30 - 09:30 BST, where we will have the opportunity for further discussion on emerging themes from this event.
