The management consulting industry is facing potential disruption as AI companies enter the advisory business and traditional firms struggle to maintain growth. McKinsey, approaching its 100th anniversary, reduced its workforce by 5,000 employees since late 2023 while its revenue growth slowed to 2% in 2024.
