The key points are: Human expertise and judgment remain the most critical aspects even though AI performs most of the research as a 'superpowered research assistant,' doing all the heavy lifting of data and trying to justify insights. Acceptance of a new practice whereby every engagement is approached with an AI-First off the shelf and all the solutions are translated into an AI perspective evaluation. A core ideology is using AI for ethical profiles, such as maintaining client data privacy. Clients are to be informed of how and in what ways social media advertising will be used to help earn their trust. • It allows consultants to spend more time on strategic aspects that deliver greater value to the client and enhance the client relationship. • Instead of traditional hourly billing, consultants should begin charging based on value knitted to definite outcomes post-engagement.
