Feras Alhlou explains how consultants can stay relevant by using AI to handle routine work, freeing time for creative and differentiated client work. He emphasizes listening to customers, watching competitors without copying them, and staying alert to shifts in technology and regulation.
There are a lot of ways for you to come in as a consultant in almost every sector. You don't have to be an AI developer to leverage AI. You can use applied AI. There are so many ways to use AI effectively and optimize some of the mundane processes and then focus your energy and your client's energy on creativity, on doing things that are unique to the brand of your customer. So always look out for opportunities. Beyond just what you have thought of and your plans, look, listen to what customers are asking for. Also keep track of the competitors and what they're offering. Don't follow them blindly. Sometimes they're going into a dead end. And then also be aware of the technological and regulatory and external type changes that will impact how you do your business.
