/Article


During a discussion, Jillian Wanner from Deloitte talked about the changes the company is going through as the consulting industry focuses more on AI. Deloitte is moving towards prioritizing engineering in its approach. Wanner emphasized the need for consultants to use generative AI for task automation. In the past year, Deloitte has introduced several AI-powered tools as part of its cultural transformation. The traditional consulting methods involving spreadsheets and PowerPoints are evolving. Wanner, at an Nvidia conference, highlighted that the consulting industry is experiencing disruption due to AI advancements. Deloitte employees are now required to have an engineering mindset first and consult later as the industry shifts. Deloitte, like other major consulting firms, has heavily invested in utilizing generative AI for its own operations and for clients. With a significant portion of its revenue coming from federal government contracts, Deloitte has witnessed rapid adoption of generative AI among its federal clients in recent months. The company has introduced AI-powered tools like the DARTbot chatbot and NavigAite for automating tasks and providing valuable insights to employees.
