MNP (Canada) Future Of Consulting, Case Study

Rethinking the Future of Consulting — From the Inside Out

MNP is one of Canada’s largest and most respected advisory firms and for over a decade, Morris has been embedded inside their world, not just advising clients but helping MNP consultants themselves reimagine what it means to lead.

In addition to strategic foresight work with MNP clients across Canada, Morris was invited to deliver a flagship internal workshop to the firm’s Strategy and People Practice focused on helping their senior consultants evolve their own role in a world increasingly shaped by AI, shifting work models, and future-ready strategy.

The session didn’t sugar-coat it. It tackled head-on what others won’t:

• What if consulting, as we know it, is obsolete?

• What replaces it in an AI-first model?

• Why “strategy” needs to become iterative, immersive, and human-augmented?

Across a 75-minute masterclass, Morris led a series of dynamic fireside conversations and provocations with MNP’s practice leaders, including:

• The AI-first consultant — how to thrive when software can already advise

• From workforce to taskforce — the death of roles and rise of “done”

• PolyPossibility Strategy — navigating uncertainty without losing direction

• Cognification, augmentation, wisdom-first decision-making

This wasn’t theory. It was a live upgrade to how some of Canada’s top consultants think, advise, and lead both for their clients and themselves.

Shift: From legacy consulting models to foresight-fuelled, human–machine collaboration frameworks

The result?: A reinforced decade-long advisory relationship and a consultant-wide strategic rethink now influencing MNP’s AI, HR, and client advisory posture nationwide.
