JOBS

This meme is funny because it exposes something real. A surprising number of companies say they want to become AI-first. Then they hire more consultants. More slides. More workshops. More people discussing transformation while very few are actually building it. That might have made sense before. It makes much less sense now. AI has already made a big part of traditional consulting work faster, cheaper, and easier: summaries, formatting, repetitive analysis, deck-building, and a lot of the copy-paste work that used to pass as high-value output. So when a company responds to AI by adding even more consultants, I have to ask: What exactly are they accelerating? Because real AI transformation does not happen in a strategy deck. It happens when builders are embedded inside the business. Close to the teams doing the work. Close to the friction. Close to the messy processes that no workshop can fix. That is where the real use cases appear. That is where systems get tested. That is where value gets created. The companies moving fastest right now are not the ones talking most about AI. They are the ones shipping. If consultants outnumber builders in your AI initiative, that is not a strategy. That is the problem. What are you seeing more of right now: companies building with AI, or companies still making decks about it? #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #BusinessTransformation #Consulting #DigitalTransformation #FutureOfWork #Innovation #AIStrategy
