Benchmark your firm against senior leaders across architecture, engineering, and consulting as they respond to AI, cybersecurity, talent, and profitability pressure.
A third of firms are undergoing or planning major business model transformation in response to AI, automation, and shifting client expectations.
91% of firms see AI as critical and 68% are increasing investment. The work has shifted from experimenting to operationalising AI throughout the project lifecycle.
Two-thirds of firms have experienced cyber attacks. 30% suffered financial losses. Now a board-level performance risk affecting margins and continuity.
Workforces are expanding, but value depends on AI-literate employees with strong data analytics, project management, and automation skills.
Only 22% of firms have a fully integrated, end-to-end project management system. The rest leave gaps in cost, schedule, and information flow that compound across the project lifecycle and erode margins firms can't afford to lose.
44% of professional services firms are digitally mature today. By 2029, 75% expect to reach that point, illustrating how quickly digital capability is becoming an operating priority.
