Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Code X Connor Ep5: Evolution of Consulting in the Age of AI
Q: Can you articulate what a successful NewCo might look like and how it competes with legacy firms?
A successful NewCo would be lean, modular, and close to the P&L with AI-enabled product teams delivering measurable business impact, while legacy firms struggle with bureaucratic inertia; disruption hinges on business model shifts, not just technology.
Code X Connor Ep5: Evolution of Consulting in the Age of AI
Q: How do talent and compensation structures need to evolve to support AI adoption in consulting firms?
Incentives must align with outcomes, not just yearly revenue; there is growing interest in 'agentic' talent and product-like teams, but many legacy firms struggle with changing compensation bands and long-term value creation versus immediate billings.
Code X Connor Ep5: Evolution of Consulting in the Age of AI
Q: What are you seeing with PE-backed entrants and private equity activity in the consulting space?
PE is driving significant operational value creation post-acquisition and is accelerating roll-ups in professional services, but execution risk remains as firms try to map technology platforms to real-world delivery and outcomes.
CxC Ep35: How AI Is Transforming the Insurance Industry - with Sam Piecz (Corgi)
Q: How does Corgi balance rapid AI-enabled underwriting with risk management and compliance?
By collecting detailed use-case information, tool access, surface area, and security posture through structured questionnaires, enforcing guardrails and human review, and continuously evolving the underwriting framework as new data and standards emerge.
CxC Ep35: How AI Is Transforming the Insurance Industry - with Sam Piecz (Corgi)
Q: Where do you see the insurance industry underwriting AI-driven risk heading in the next few years?
Policy coverage will likely evolve to include new AI-specific risk categories and guardrails, with underwriting pricing reflecting the complexity and surface area of AI deployments, while still relying on human review for final decisions.
