Explains how AI changes the consulting business model by tying fees to outcomes

Original Description

McKinsey now ties 25% of its fees to outcomes. The consulting business model is cracking. For decades, agencies and consultants charged by the hour, by the day, by the deliverable. AI changed the math. The work that used to take weeks now takes hours, and clients know it. Pricing pressure is coming, and the firms that survive will be the ones that charge for results, not time. If you run an agency or consult, this shift is worth paying close attention to. Comment "NEWSLETTER" for more on AI, business, and marketing.
