    • Adventures in Ai Ep. 7 - Goodbye Mckinsey: Will AI Put Management Consultants Out of Business?

      Is it time to say "Goodbye Mckinsey"?

      As former consultants, we talk in this episode about AI's transformative potential for the management consultancy industry - from both the perspective of the consultancies themselves and their potential clients.
      AI's Mastery of the Initial Audit:
      Firstly, we delve into the initial audit phase, a critical step in consultancy. AI's rapid data analysis, covering client capabilities, market trends, and existing data, streamlines the process, offering valuable insights for informed decision-making.

      The Always-On Agent of Change:
      We explore AI as a continuous change agent. Unlike humans, AI operates non-stop, monitoring trends, identifying opportunities, and suggesting course corrections. This constant presence accelerates change initiatives, ensuring businesses stay agile in today's dynamic environment.

      Elevating Knowledge Base and Expertise:
      We also investigate AI's role in enhancing knowledge for clients and consultancies. AI tools facilitate knowledge sharing, granting clients easy access to expert insights. For consultancies, AI serves as a knowledge aggregator, providing a centralized repository for faster and more comprehensive problem-solving.

      Rethinking the Business Model:

      Lastly, we consider AI's implications on the consultancy business model. As AI advances, consultancies may shift focus to managing and implementing AI solutions, requiring consultants to become AI leaders. This transformation raises the question: Is it time to bid farewell to traditional consultancy models?

      Join us in this insightful episode as we explore how AI is revolutionizing management consulting, challenging norms, and ushering in a new era of innovation. Together, we ponder the future of consultancy and the potential shift away from established practices.

          • Adventures in AI Ep. 3 - Talking to whales and Cheating is a good thing

            Can AI help us talk to Whales?
            A US-based not-for-profit organization called EarthSpecies is looking to use machine learning to decode communication in other species.  Or, put simply, they want to train a machine to listen to and talk to animals and birds.


            The global economic and commercial impact of AI
            The ability of Gen AI to make pictures, write creative text and to write music has caught the imagination - but the real commercial impact is perhaps less talked about. And it’s worth talking about, because the greatest impact for businesses comes in the commercial detail and facts.

            Why everyone should be cheating on their homework
            Is using AI cheating? Or is it more likely to be something that we will very quickly take as a matter of fact? We talk about how using AI will soon be seen as being just as acceptable as using a calculator in a science exam.

          • Adventures in AI Ep. 1 - Do Androids dream of electric sheep?

            Lessons about AI from the early days of Digital - looking at the parallels between the digital revolution in the 90's and what's happening now. There are lots of lessons!

            Do Androids dream of electric sheep? - Does AI perform better if we get emotional with it? (Hint: the answer's 'yes')

            AI is good at tasks - but not jobs.

            The more tightly defined the task is, the better the AI performs. In that respect, these LLMs are much more similar to humans.

          • Adventures in AI, Ep. 2 - How to get AI to write like a human

            Why is GitHub losing money on its AI application? It's probably about data, users, and a bet that the tech costs will fall.

            AI's are like interns - but they can't yet go out and get you coffee. We should expect the same from our Gen AI as we would from new interns - and think about managing them in the same way.

            How to get AI to write like a human. It sounds obvious, but how many of you have asked AI to write like a human? We expect there’s a fair number of people that haven’t.
