The AI Revolution Needs Plumbers - by Manish Singh
consulting is based on relationships not code
The IT industry has always been reactive to new technology, late to consulting and early-stage advisory but quick to capture implementation spend once the experiments end and the plumbing needs building. The firms believe AI will follow the same arc: a hype phase they mostly miss, followed by a deployment phase where scale, client relationships and tolerance for unglamorous work become valuable again.
Personal opinion. all businesses paused spending to see where AI will land. well its barely taking off..
