What happens when AI meets an industry built on expertise? 

In this episode of Strategy Simplified, Jenny Rae sits down with Dr. Soren Kaplan - Wall Street Journal bestselling author, innovation expert, and co-founder of Praxie.com - to explore how artificial intelligence is disrupting the traditional consulting model.

From his early days in boutique firms to advising global giants like Disney and Visa, Soren brings decades of experience to a fast-moving conversation about:

  • Why consulting as we know it is broken - and what’s replacing it
  • The 5 flaws in the traditional consulting model
  • How AI is transforming project delivery, team dynamics, and client value
  • What skills (hint: they’re not all technical) will set consultants apart in the AI era
  • How to future-proof your consulting career or firm

Whether you’re a seasoned strategist, a boutique founder, or a new consultant entering the field, this episode is packed with insight into how to lead, adapt, and thrive in a changing industry.
