Summary

AI is blowing up McKinsey’s old billable-hours model and forcing elite consultancies to charge for real outcomes, not 300-page decks. We break down why clients want results-based fees, how JPMorgan and Goldman are using AI to cut “gatekeeper” roles, and why true operators now have the leverage.
