La opinión de Penny

The consulting industry is currently split into two camps: those charging by the hour who view AI as a threat to their revenue, and those charging by value who see it as a massive profit lever. If you're still billing £200/hour for work that an LLM can do in four seconds, you're in trouble. The 'Junior Analyst' role as we knew it is dead. Your new junior analyst is an AI agent, and your human staff need to move up the value chain immediately. My advice? Don't hide your use of AI from clients. Be the consultant who teaches *them* how to use it. Your value isn't in your ability to make a pretty slide deck anymore; it's in your judgment, your industry context, and your ability to navigate the human complexity of change management. Use AI to handle the data, so you can handle the people.

Preguntas frecuentes

Will my clients be annoyed if they find out I'm using AI for their reports?+
Not if the quality is higher and the insights are deeper. Don't sell 'AI-generated reports'; sell 'AI-augmented insights.' If you use AI to do the boring data crunching, it leaves you more time to provide the 'so what' that clients actually pay for.
Is it safe to put sensitive client data into an AI tool?+
Only if you use Enterprise-grade versions (like ChatGPT Team/Enterprise or Claude for Business) where data is not used for training. Never put sensitive PII into a free, consumer-grade AI model. For ultra-sensitive work, look at locally hosted models or private VPC deployments.
How do I justify my fees if the work takes me 50% less time?+
Stop billing by the hour. Switch to project-based or value-based pricing. If a project saves a client £1M, it doesn't matter if it took you ten hours or a hundred. AI forces the industry toward results-based compensation.
Can AI really handle complex strategy work?+
AI is excellent at divergent thinking (brainstorming 50 options) and data synthesis. It is poor at reading the room in a boardroom or understanding the internal politics of a C-suite. Use it for the former, save yourself for the latter.
Which tool should I start with today?+
Perplexity Pro. It replaces 80% of manual Google searching for market research and provides cited sources, which is critical for consultant credibility.
