Deri Hughes, Founder of Honeycomb Skills Training, and Caroline Boston, Managing Director of New Minds, have collaborated to research how consulting firms will evolve their teams, skills, and people models in 2026. Their findings, based on interviews with senior leaders from across the sector, including Big 4, large challenger and boutique consulting firms, will reveal how AI is impacting the traditional ‘learning on the job’ model and what skills consultants will actually need for future success.
