What You’ll Learn Why the value of information has dropped to near zero—and what replaces it. How AI became the fearless CFO that handles data without emotion. The two irreplaceable human skills: judgment and accountability management. The Galway Sickness story: how fast diagnosis kills trust. How behavioral barriers, not data gaps, derail most consulting projects. The OCLC case study: how asking the right questions fixed 500 workflows in three days. The Bosch story: the power of holding the line on profit and principle. Key Idea Consulting’s defensible edge isn’t more information—it’s better questions. AI provides the clean analysis. The OIO applies judgment, builds trust, and manages change until the insight sticks. Memorable Quote “AI does the fearless analysis. Humans carry the risk.”
