As AI continues to revolutionize the consulting industry, a top executive at McKinsey emphasizes the importance of young consultants learning to ask the right questions to get the most out of artificial intelligence. According to Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer at McKinsey, being a great “prompt engineer” is key to standing out in the industry. This comes as no surprise, given McKinsey’s success in leveraging AI to increase efficiency and save consultants 30% of their time. What’s striking, however, is the shift in focus from traditional consulting skills to AI literacy. As the industry continues to evolve, it’s clear that the ability to effectively communicate with AI systems will be a crucial skill for consultants to master. In an era where AI is rapidly changing the game, it’s refreshing to see industry leaders like Hilton Segel acknowledging the importance of adapting to this new reality.
