The management consulting profession has evolved continuously since its inception in the early twentieth century. Members of the Legacy Committee of the MC division (Past Division Chairs) share a combined hundreds of years of experience in the field. Starting with a brief overview of the evolution of the profession since the beginning of the twentieth century, each of the presenters will share their perspective on one issue the field of management consulting will need to address. Then we will break into small groups to discuss each issue, building a new perspective on the future of the profession from the collective wisdom in the room. Issues include: the role of Artificial Intelligence in consulting, changing professional identity, global consulting, consulting in Central and Eastern Europe, hybrid work, and more!
