Thomas Anglero argues that traditional consultants are obsolete. They rely on PowerPoint decks and selling more hours instead of delivering results. AI can process information at a scale the old partners never could.
Number 1 is those people, those consultants, those partners you call them, who you've relied upon to deliver and make sure you met your goals, your KPIs, your pipeline, etc., they're failing you. Your partners, your traditional partners— notice that traditional partners, they're from that World before AI. Yes, they come in with PowerPoints. Yes, they come in with nice suits and dresses and clothes, and they say all the right things. Where are the results? When you ask them where are the results, they say is we need some more time. You need to buy some more hours from us. You need to buy this new solution from us. They represent the past. They're your traditional partners who built the infrastructure or built some solutions for you. They got you to where you are today. We've never been in this world of AI and where things can change in a moment, where the AI can read hundreds of millions of bits of information. Matter of fact, it could read every book in a library within a few seconds. Think about that. We've never been there in this traditional world. And you have your partners coming in saying, we got this, they don't have anything. You need a fresh look.
