Using AI to Grow Project Margin
Join us to hear how AI can lift your delivery quality as you scale.
In a small firm, delivery quality holds because everyone works side by side and the founder touches every project. Then the firm grows, the founder runs out of hours, and work gets delivered by people who never learned your delivery method firsthand. Project margins turn inconsistent, and it's rarely the same reason twice. This episode is about using AI to get that method out of people's heads and into something every project runs on. We'll also cover the AI quick wins you can use in delivery to help identify which projects are at risk, and where you can give your team time back in their days.
Projectworks CEO Mark Orttung has built his career growing and selling both consulting firms and technology companies.
Projectworks CCO Dominique Rennell advises global consulting firms on how to scale their growth and operations effectively.
What you'll get from this episode:
- How AI can be used to centralize your delivery methodology
- Practical AI tips you can use to catch scope creep, over-runs
- How to simplify client status updates with the help of AI
- Live discussion with other leaders of fast growing consulting firms

Every proposal, pitch, and scoping call is overhead you carry before a client says yes, and the faster you grow the more it stacks up. In the AI era that's changing, with cost per proposal dropping by as much as 75% at firms using the right tools and workflows. We'll dig into what those leading firms are running, and how to keep this cost from blowing out as you scale.

Every firm is being told AI changes everything. Few can tell you what it's actually worth to them. We benchmark over 700 consulting firms, and our data puts revenue per employee near $160K today. Over the next couple of years, we expect the leading firms to double it, by turning the tools and data they already run on into an intelligent ecosystem that drives action across the firm. Season 3 opens on the question that defines the rest of it: what does healthy growth and profitability actually look like in the AI era?
