Management consultancies are considered to be training grounds for managers. But AI is changing that. Dr. Vera-Carina Elter, CHRO at KPMG explains what this means for HR.
Management consultancies have a reputation for being training camps for future managers. Anyone who starts there quickly gains a broad range of methodological skills, learns to work under pressure and later often – well prepared – moves into management positions in industry, finance or medium-sized companies. But this model is under pressure because artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly taking over the tasks that ambitious young academics used to fill their working days in consulting. What does this mean for the industry – and for those who are trained in it?
