The Future of European Consulting (2035): Strategic Scenarios for AI, Regulation, and Platform Power

I developed this foresight report to analyze how artificial intelligence, EU regulatory trajectories, and hyperscaler platform dominance could reshape the consulting industry in Europe over the next decade. Using horizon scanning and a 2×2 scenario matrix based on two critical uncertainties — AI governance and platform concentration — the study explores how business models, value capture, talent structures, and competitive positioning may evolve across alternative futures. The report concludes with strategic pathways to help consulting firms build resilience and secure advantage in a structurally transformed advisory market.
