Its the beginning of the end for big players in consulting. More agile start-ups are leveraging AI to charge less, silently eroding on peripheral accounts and revenue. Once they dent in key accounts and big players realise this, it might be too late.

Anyone thinks differently?
Is it best to exit now?

Service design seems a popular role in consulting in the past year or so, certainly seeing more grads go down this route. Is there much overlap with business analysis?

I’m wondering how easy a move would be from business analysis to service design...
