Episode Description from the Publisher

AI isn't going away. And the consultancies that don't adopt it are going to get left behind. In this episode I break down how to use AI to grow your consultancy - to win more work, move faster, and get more competitive - without replacing the team you've worked so hard to build. I also share the story of Russell, a Boardroom member who's using agentic AI tools to get around a 10x time saving on certain tasks, built a live project dashboard that refreshes every 30 minutes on the office TV, and has pushed his fee proposal conversion rate to nearly 58%. Inside this episode we cover: - Why the consultancies that don't adopt AI will slowly start losing work- Why AI is an accelerant and not a replacement for your team- Why you need to get clear on your values before you bolt AI onto everything- The three levels of AI you can start bringing into your business today- What Russell did to get a 10x time saving and a 58% proposal conversion rate If you run an engineering or built environment consultancy and you're not sure where to start with AI - or you've been quietly hoping it blows over - this episode will change how you think about it. 👉 Check out our $10M+ Consultancy Roadmap Training.
