From Tradition to Frontier: The Future of Professional Services
Professional services organizations today face mounting pressure to evolve amid rising workloads, fragmented systems, and skepticism around AI’s true value. Many teams are stuck in an “infinite workday,” juggling emails, meetings, and manual tasks that hinder productivity and innovation. Despite widespread adoption of AI tools, firms often struggle to integrate them meaningfully into workflows or realize measurable returns. These challenges are compounded by talent gaps and legacy processes that slow transformation.
Becoming a Frontier Firm means reimagining how work gets done by embedding AI into the core of operations—not just as a tool, but as a strategic partner. These firms empower employees to lead hybrid human-agent teams, delegate tasks to AI, and scale innovation with agility. The shift requires cultural change, continuous learning, and a commitment to redesigning roles and systems around AI. It’s a bold move toward operational resilience and industry leadership in the age of intelligent collaboration.
To explore how professional services organizations can take this leap, join us for The Master Series on Monday, October 20th. We’ll dive into the practical steps, leadership strategies, and real-world examples that define the journey to becoming a Frontier Firm. Whether you're just starting or already on the path, this session offers a chance to connect, learn, and shape the future of work together.

Blueprint to Frontier: An Industry View on Operating with AI
Organizations across communications and content industries are under pressure to modernize in the face of rising customer expectations, fragmented audiences, and increasingly complex infrastructure. While many have adopted AI in targeted areas—like personalization, network optimization, or content tagging—these efforts often remain siloed. Legacy systems, data fragmentation, and governance concerns continue to limit the ability to scale AI effectively across the business.
Becoming a Frontier Firm means moving beyond experimentation to embed AI into the core of how the organization operates. This includes unifying data and governance, deploying AI agents across customer experience and operations, and prioritizing high-impact use cases that deliver measurable outcomes. The goal is to build an agile, AI-first operating model that can adapt to evolving consumer behavior, accelerate innovation, and drive long-term value.
Join us for The Master Series on Wednesday, October 1st, where we’ll explore how organizations in communications, media, and entertainment can take the next step toward becoming Frontier Firms. This session will highlight practical strategies, industry-specific use cases, and recommended approaches to scaling AI with confidence. It’s a timely conversation for leaders looking to transform how they operate and engage in a rapidly shifting digital landscape.

Intelligent Manufacturing: The Frontier Firm Advantage
Manufacturing and mobility companies are grappling with economic volatility, supply chain disruptions, and the slow pace of electrification due to high costs and infrastructure gaps. Workforce shortages and fragmented technology systems further strain operations, making it difficult to achieve efficiency and agility. These challenges demand a shift from traditional processes to more adaptive, data-driven approaches that can respond quickly to market changes.
Becoming a frontier firm means reimagining the business model around AI as the operational core. This involves integrating AI agents into workflows, enabling hybrid human-agent teams, and fostering a culture of rapid experimentation and agility. By connecting systems into a unified AI-driven fabric, firms can boost resilience, scale efficiency, and accelerate innovation. Ultimately, frontier firms set new industry benchmarks for productivity and customer experience, gaining a decisive competitive edge.
To explore these concepts in depth, join the Master Series on November 14th, led by Simon Floyd. This session will dive into practical strategies for adopting AI-driven models and showcase real-world examples of frontier firms transforming their industries. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain insights and connect with peers shaping the future of mobility and manufacturing.
