Consulting the Future

Consulting the Future is a podcast from the Tech Talks Network that connects you directly to the strategists, researchers, and change-makers shaping the Future of business technology. In this series, host Neil C. Hughes speaks with senior voices from firms including Deloitte, PwC, Accenture, EY, KPMG, and Gartner, bringing you informed conversations grounded in real enterprise experiences.

Rather than hype or speculation, this show offers grounded insight into how complex organizations navigate digital change at scale. Whether looking at AI adoption in financial services, the realities of ERP transformations, or the evolving role of risk and compliance in tech decision-making, each episode offers a seat with those who advise the C-suite.

We'll explore how firms like Deloitte are integrating design thinking with large-scale program delivery, why KPMG takes a controls-first approach to tech roadmaps, and how PwC balances governance with execution. From Accenture's investments in immersive tech to EY's work in enterprise agility and Gartner's independent view of what's coming next, this podcast maps the real conversations that are shaping boardroom priorities across industries.

This is not about buzzwords. It's about frameworks that work and strategies that deliver. Consulting the Future is your next listen if you're a business or technology leader seeking perspective from those who help define the global playbook for transformation.

So, what role should research, advisory, and consulting play in your transformation journey? Join the conversation and share your own insights on the Future of enterprise innovation.
