AI adoption is accelerating. ROI is not. Colleen Jones has spent over a decade studying what separates organizations that scale from those that stall, and her conclusion is clear: content operations maturity is the difference. As President of Content Science, Colleen partners with senior leaders across marketing, product, customer experience, and communications to close what she calls the “content gap” in AI-driven transformation. Her firm’s research, the largest study of content operations in the world, shows that governance, measurement, and clear content vision are the real levers behind sustainable AI success.

In this conversation, we unpack how consulting leaders can position themselves in the AI wave without becoming generic “AI advisors.” Colleen makes the case for specialization, proprietary systems, independent research, and building intellectual capital that compounds over time.
