Hosted by Justin Webb, BBC Radio 4, a panel of speakers from leading MCA Member firms will discuss the latest forecasts, what more needs to be done to improve diversity and inclusion in consulting, as well as insight from senior leaders on areas such as AI and digital technology.
The general outlook for the consulting industry will be explored, alongside the opportunities for consultants across different sectors and regions as well as new services, with particular focus on Manchester as a key hub driving consulting growth in the UK.
