Alt-Consulting

The consulting industry is at a breaking point. For decades, strategy consulting thrived on a simple formula: prestigious firms, expensive teams, and months-long projects. But the ground is shifting. Generative AI is automating the work of entire analyst teams. Lean boutiques are delivering partner- level thinking at a fraction of traditional costs. Clients are demanding speed, transparency, and value, not just polished decks. What comes after the end of strategy consulting as we knew it?

In Alt-Consulting, seasoned strategist Utsav Bhatt maps the future of the profession with clarity and conviction.

Inside, you'll discover:

Why the traditional consulting pyramid is collapsing and what's replacing it

Five new archetypes reshaping the industry

What law firms learned when technology disrupted them first

How to buy consulting differently: faster, cheaper, better

What consultants at every level must do to stay relevant

Drawing on Clayton Christensen's theory of disruptive innovation, real transformation cases, and timeless wisdom, Alt-Consulting is both a strategic playbook and a call to reimagine professional services. The old model isn't broken yet. But the cracks are loud. Whether you're a Chief Strategy Officer tired of overpriced projects, a consulting firm partner sensing the shift, or a young consultant wondering about your career in ten years, this book shows you how to lead, not lag. The disruption is already here. The question is: are you ready?
