consulting, intended to identify areas of focus; paid consulting begins when deeper, more specific analysis based on a client&#8217;s specific data is required.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Disruption and Industry Response<\/strong>: Consulting firms are integrating AI into their workflows and advising on its implementation, leading to changes in pricing models, workforce structure, and raising concerns about job displacement, especially for junior roles.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Future of Consulting<\/strong>: Despite AI advancements, Greenstein asserts that consultants&#8217; judgment, critical thinking, and personal relationships remain irreplaceable, suggesting a future where consultants focus more on client outcomes and collaborative work.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>West Monroe AI Chief Explains Why Its Giving Out Free Consulting Work https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/west-monroe-ai-agent-free-consulting-strategy-advice-2026-6 Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":227855,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/i.insider.com\/6a268cabb4fb977f3598546b?width=1200&format=jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-227854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227854"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227854"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227854\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":227856,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227854\/revisions\/227856"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
