But two recent AI expert panels at the BCS concluded differently that AI is both a threat and an opportunity for consultants. Our speaker served on both panels and picks up from those discussions and aims to start to ground this work, so that consultants can act to counter the threats and (as with past waves of global change) seize the opportunities and provide leadership to their clients on AI. Indeed, our speaker will boldly suggest a new “golden age” for consultants awaits, if the profession gets this challenge right.The content of the workshop will be practitioner and practice focused:· Review of workshop attendees’ usage & “lessons to date” on AI· Benchmarking against evidence of wider utilisation of generative & agentic AI· Case based review of the consulting industry’s current efforts & strategies on AI· Theoretical propositions for AI’s value as a new capability in consultancies· Introductory demonstrations on developing AI consultant co-workers and the potential for Agentic AI enabled consultancies.· Workshop activities on the actions consultancies and consultants must be taking nowAlthough this workshop will combine some technical demos, the time available limits these and means the workshop will sometimes need to be at a conceptual and introductory level. So, this workshop is aiming at consultants and other professionals needing an “on-ramp” to ensure they are not left behind or want pointers to how they can get an “early mover advantage”.Specialists and experts in AI may find the content too introductory. Non consultants are welcomed but the cases and focus will be the practice of consultancy, and such attendees will need to adapt it to their personal context. The content will be vendor agnostic.SPEAKER BIOGRAPHYDr. Alan Warr is the past Chair and current Treasurer of the BCS Consultancy Specialist Group.
