The Gen AI Effect: Why AI Won’t Replace McKinsey — But Will Change Consulting Forever
Can ChatGPT really replace McKinsey? The hype says yes—but the truth? Not even close. In this episode of Smart Consulting Sourcing, Hélène Laffitte cuts through the noise and reveals how Generative AI is truly reshaping the consulting world.
AI isn’t killing consulting—it’s killing bad consulting. From flashy claims to “10 prompts to replace McKinsey” memes, Hélène explains why technology can’t substitute for real expertise, context, and judgment. She breaks down how Gen AI actually works, where it genuinely accelerates consulting delivery, and why understanding its limits is just as important as embracing its power. From spotting “AI-washing” in proposals to knowing when to lean on human insight, this episode uncovers how consulting’s real value is evolving—from decks to decisions, insights, and execution.
Tune in to discover how to make AI your consulting ally—not your replacement.
