Sponsored by:  What will the professional services firms of the future look like? Will they have more freelancers and fewer employees? What proportion of their service lines will be delivered digitally?

This is a critical time for firms to embrace the current wave of emerging innovations. Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Robotic Process Automation, and Digital Assistants are changing the game. Innovation, transformation, and application of intelligent technologies now allow firms to grow revenue without increasing headcount.

The digital acceleration we are experiencing or witnessing represents a once in a lifetime opportunity for companies in the Professional Services Industry. It is a defining moment for Professional services firms to either become a market leader or remain as an also ran in this highly competitive marketplace.

Disrupting the Rules

Customers expect services that are available anytime and anywhere and outcomes that will make their experience an outstanding one – where delivery is flawless yet simple, technology is intelligent and invisible, and privacy, security, and trust are assumed and assured. They don't want to be sold to or influenced. They want to be inspired, guided, educated, and helped; and they will remain loyal to and reward those companies that differentiate based on personalized experiences and outcomes.

Join us for a discussion exploring today's need to invest in the digital technologies that augment human capabilities and improve service delivery through expanded operational efficiencies that free up human ingenuity.
