Insights
The Hackett Group's launch of its Gen AI Executive Advisory Program represents a strategic expansion in the high-demand generative AI consulting space. By appointing John K. Thompson, who brings 38 years of AI implementation experience and previously led global AI efforts at EY, Hackett is adding significant credibility to this initiative.
This program leverages Hackett's existing AI XPLR™ and ZBrain™ platforms, creating an end-to-end offering from ideation through implementation. What's particularly noteworthy is Thompson's background in building one of the world's largest private Gen AI environments that served 300,000 users at EY – indicating Hackett is focusing on enterprise-scale implementations rather than theoretical applications.
Hackett's existing relationships with 97% of Dow Jones Industrials and 90% of Fortune 100 companies positions them well to cross-sell this new advisory service. However, the announcement lacks specific details on program pricing, revenue projections, or expected client adoption rates – making it difficult to quantify potential financial impact.
The competitive landscape in AI consulting is intensifying with most major consulting firms developing similar offerings. Hackett's differentiation appears to rest on Thompson's practical implementation expertise and their existing AI platforms, though their relative advantages versus competitors remain unclear from this announcement.
Program bridges strategic plan through execution, led by top AI expert and best-selling author John K.
