Professional services revenue model is changing. Is the industry ready?
The hourly rate model that built professional services is under direct pressure. AI is compressing delivery. Clients are asking why they should keep paying for time. This assessment gives you an idea of where you are.
Take the assessmentMost PS firms are running a model that is quietly breaking
After working with professional services firms across every size and sector, the same issues appear. The firms that are struggling are not struggling because their people are not good enough. They are struggling because the model itself was never built to last.
Still billing by the hour
Time-and-materials billing is under direct attack from clients who now know that AI can produce the same output faster and cheaper.
BD sits only with partners
Selling is pushed to the top of the firm. Everyone below the partner line stays on the tools. When partners are full, growth stops.
Invisible in the market
No consistent thought leadership. No LinkedIn presence. The firm is unknown to anyone outside the partner's personal network.
Flying blind on data
Win rates not tracked. Pipeline in people's heads. Revenue decisions made on instinct. No way to see what is working.
