Companies demand lower fees from consultants due to AI

Companies are pressuring consultants to reduce their fees, taking advantage of the productivity gains provided by artificial intelligence. The Big Four and other consultancies, such as Accenture, are in conflict with clients over the cost of major technology projects. At Bayer, 30 AI agents already support the team, allowing a significant reduction in the number of consultants, while SAP predicts that AI will massively displace parts of consulting. Commerzbank plans to invest 600 million euros in AI by 2030 to save 500 million annually in consulting spending. Interestingly, KPMG International itself managed to get its auditor, Grant Thornton, to lower fees with the argument that AI makes work cheaper. However, EY is investing 100 million dollars in bonuses to reward human skills such as adaptability, innovation, and judgment, demonstrating that social skills remain essential to ensure the desired impact of AI.
