The leader of PwC's 2,200-person DC office says clients expect some consulting work twice as fast as a year ago
Consulting work that would have taken eight weeks is now expected in four because of AI, said Jeanelle Johnson, PwC's boss in the DC area.
Jeanelle Johnson, the managing partner of PwC's Washington DC office, reported that clients now expect some consulting work to be delivered in half the time compared to a year ago. This faster delivery is due to AI technologies assisting with early-stage consulting tasks like market research, due diligence, and brainstorming. Johnson explained that while clients may not expect an entire transformation to be completed rapidly, they do expect pilots and proofs of concepts to be accelerated.
She also noted that the increased workload is due to clients navigating multiple global pressures simultaneously.
