🧠 First Steps in AI Consulting: Exactly how to get started as an AI Consultant, without needing a PHD in AI
2025 is the year companies start getting real ROI from AI. Not faffing with toys, experimenting or testing - but actually seeing returns.
This means there is an opportunity for AI consulting.
And the numbers show that big consulting businesses know it…
Look at what's happening: Boston Consulting Group now makes a fifth of their revenue from AI work - from zero just two years ago. McKinsey? 40% of their business this year will be AI-related. IBM's locked in over $1 billion in AI consulting commitments. And KPMG? They went from making nothing from AI last year to targeting $650 million in opportunities.
This playbook isn't about competing with these giants. (I mean, if you want to by all means go for it!).
But for the rest of us this instead about getting your first steps right in a massive market where there's room for everyone. As a consultant, I charge $500-1000 per hour depending on the client, and these initial consultations often lead to ongoing retainers and implementation work. It’s lucrative and (dare I say) easy work.
You don't need to beat McKinsey to do extremely well.
That’s what we’re covering in my latest AI Business Playbook.
