Why Consulting Firms Need a New Growth Playbook for 2026

I had been talking to many consulting firm leaders, and one theme kept coming up.

โ€œThe market is shifting gradually, and what worked even a year ago just was not landing anymore.โ€

Around that time, I hosted the Future of Consulting Summit, where I interviewed consulting leaders about how AI, pricing shifts, and client expectations were changing the way firms grow.

From those conversations, I built something to take those insights further and make them actionable.

๐Ÿ‘‰ I hosted a 3-day virtual bootcamp on Dec 5, 6, and 7 called:

It was designed as a small group, hands-on experience, three hours per day for three days, where we worked together to:

โ€ข Reposition firms for where the market is going
โ€ข Package and price a premium offer that actually sells
โ€ข Craft messaging that cuts through the noise
โ€ข Map a clear 90-day plan to move forward faster

The goal was to help consulting leaders think more intentionally about how to grow in 2026 and how to compete with clarity in a rapidly shifting market.
