They’re layering it on top of existing services instead of rethinking how value is created. Andrew has spent the last seven years doing the opposite, building AI-native platforms from scratch across legal, healthcare, education, and governance. He operates at the intersection of product strategy and consulting, with full P&L ownership across a multi-platform portfolio. That changes the perspective. This isn’t theory or advisory, it’s direct exposure to where AI breaks, where it scales, and where money is actually made. In this episode, we unpack the structural shift happening in consulting: from billable hours to intelligent systems, from advisory to productized intelligence, and from AI as a feature to AI as the foundation.**********************************************************************Proposed Interview Questions: 1. What got you into consulting, and how did that evolve into building AI-native platforms instead of staying purely advisory? 2. What specific problem are you solving for your clients today, and why does it matter so much for you personally to solve it? 3. Who are your ideal clients today, and who typically holds the decision to bring you in? 4. How do clients typically find you, and what’s worked best for you to attract high-level engagements? Current Acquisition Channels: Content, Google Ads, Podcast (guesting) Sub Question: What do you think about podcasting as a marketing tool for consultants working in AI or complex industries? 5. When you’re selling AI-native transformation at board level, how do you move from initial interest to actual buy-in? 6. Once you’re working with a client, how do you retain them, keep them coming back, and build long-term relationships? 7. Where do you find yourself most stuck right now as a consultant operating across multiple AI platforms and markets (if at all)? 8. Looking ahead, where do you see the biggest opportunity for AI-native consulting and product-led advisory over the next few years?*********************************************************************Know more about Andrew BirdWebsite Link: https://wachump.orgConnect with Andrew Bird on LinkedInLinkedIn link: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewgbird/Apply to be a guest on Consulting Leaders:https://ghapodcast.com/application-to-be-a-guest-on-consulting-leaders/
