    So, they think they can find contracts worth 3b selling bullshit to customers.

      yeah that’s what I got out of this. If tacking “AI” on their contracts nets them another 10%, then that easy money for accenture

      They really should focus on selling pyramid schemes, because all their pitches reek that energy and desperation.

    Lol, recently had a touchpoint with some ACN guys on a large project, maybe they should try getting SAP right, before becoming AI experts

      You misunderstand. Consultants don’t want to be experts in anything. Becoming an expert takes a lot of time and experience, which naturally limits the number of things you can be an expert in.

      No, consultants just want to say they’re experts in things. No time/experience needed, just a plucky consultant and a keyboard.

      With that in mind, Accenture are experts at SAP and AI now.

    AI is starting to feel like another financial bubble to me.
