• We explore them together in a 2-3 hour sparring session.
• And leave you with a Provocation File ​that looks beyond incremental improvement.

 
What you get:

• At least 3 untapped or ignored profit angles for your business or industry.
• A 2-3 hour sparring session on applying the provocations to your business.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

Everywhere, advisory firms and agencies are under pressure. Clients push back on fees and billable hours. AI is stripping value from routine work, while partners need to choose which associates to retain, and which to let go. In the knowledge that once talent leaves, it may never return.

Professional services are at an inflection point. The previous century playbook of more services, more staff and new methodologies is exhausted. The new one is still being written.  

Success now means laser-focus on the clients where you deliver outcomes they cannot achieve elsewhere. Where your expertise leverages AI. And where you build the next generation of talent now, before the firm runs out of knowledge when today’s rainmakers retire.
