Artificial intelligence is not only changing business models and processes, but increasingly also the very nature of consulting itself. Classical consulting approaches are reaching their limits while new forms of collaboration, decision-making, and value creation are emerging. But what does consulting look like when it is conceived from the ground up with AI?

In „AI-native consulting“ show Stephan Weber, Daniel Ehmann and Stefan Schmautz, how the industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation and what consequences this entails for consulting firms and their clients. The book provides a strategic framework for the next evolutionary stage of consulting and makes clear why it is not enough to simply use AI as a tool, but rather that it must become an integral part of mental models, processes, and business models.

At the center are concrete transformation paths toward an AI-native consultancy. The authors describe new role profiles, altered career patterns, and innovative business models that emerge through the use of AI. At the same time, they examine the changing relationship between consultants and clients, which is increasingly characterized by co-creation. Issues of leadership, corporate culture, as well as risks and ethical responsibility are also systematically categorized and combined with practical examples and recommendations for action.
