AI Without the headache: Practical Tools for Consulting Firms

In this session, Ben Jervis explores how AI can be applied meaningfully in real consulting workflows without the hype. Drawing on his experience developing CMap’s AI capabilities, he will discuss what consulting leaders are actually saying about AI adoption, which use cases are proving genuinely useful, and how to navigate the noise to focus on tools that improve decision‑making and project delivery. 

The live session will include a demo of features such as the Fee Estimator and Resourcing Agent, designed to highlight practical examples of where AI can save time, improve accuracy, and support better client outcomes. Ben will also look ahead to emerging opportunities and explore the role of partner feedback in shaping tools that truly support the realities of running and scaling a consulting firm.
