Fortune 500 companies lose over $31 billion every year to knowledge attrition. Not system failures or data loss, but the expertise, intuition, and hard-won judgment of senior people walking out the door.

Every time that knowledge disappears, projects get harder to predict and delivery gets harder to trust.

In his latest piece, Kantata CTO Vikas Nehru makes the case that this isn't a talent problem. It's an architectural one. And exit interviews and mentorship programs aren't going to solve it.

Professional services is entering a $3T transformation — one that too many firms are trying to navigate with generic AI.

The problem? Generic AI isn't built to solve the industry's biggest challenge: unpredictable projects.

Projects still go off track. Budgets still get blown. Critical knowledge still walks out the door.

We're about to deliver what's missing. Stay tuned...

Outcome-based pricing is everywhere in the conversation. But most services organizations aren't actually doing it yet.

The gap isn't ambition. It's the operational foundation underneath: the data, measurement discipline, and commercial architecture to make it real.

Join TSIA's Bo DiMuccio and Kantata's Peter Fitzpatrick TOMORROW, June 11th, as they unpack what leading firms are actually doing — snd what it takes to get there.

Every services firm generates enormous intellectual capital. But most of it never gets reused.

The winning approach from last quarter, the risk pattern that derailed a delivery two years ago — it lives in someone's head. Or it walks out the door with them.

In his latest post, Kantata CTO Vikas Nehru makes the case that treating expertise as infrastructure (rather than as a byproduct of delivery) is the shift that separates firms that scale from firms that plateau. And he explains exactly how the Kantata Expertise Engine is built to make that happen.

The best consulting firms don't just hire smart people and hope for the best. They build systems around those people, for scoping work accurately, staffing it deliberately, tracking it in real time, and understanding whether it was actually profitable when it closes.

That operational infrastructure is called consultancy management. And it's the difference between a firm that delivers brilliantly on occasion and one that does it consistently, predictably, and at scale across every engagement.

In a recent blog, we cover what it involves, where firms most often break down, and how the best operations hold it all together. Check it out: https://okt.to/END1mQ

Most PS firms have been talking about moving beyond time-and-materials pricing for over a decade. So why hasn't it happened?

It's not a strategy problem. It's a maturity problem. And according to SPI Research, more than half the industry is still operating at a level where the data, measurement discipline, and commercial infrastructure to actually pull it off don't yet exist.

Our latest blog maps out the 5 levels of PS pricing maturity...and what separates firms that are stuck from the ones that have figured it out.

The hybrid workforce — people and AI agents delivering work together — isn't a future state. It's already here. The question isn't whether it's happening in your firm. It's whether your systems, planning processes, and leadership thinking have caught up.

In her latest piece, Kantata's Chief Product Officer, Sarah Edwards, tackles the question she's hearing from services leaders almost every week: how do you manage a delivery team when part of that team isn't human?

She gets into why utilization is the wrong metric for a hybrid model, why AI has to be a growth play and not just an efficiency one, and what it actually takes to plan, staff, and govern delivery when agents are part of the equation.

In professional services, time tracking is more than a payroll function. Every hour logged — or logged late, to the wrong project, or not at all — creates a ripple effect through finance, billing, utilization, and project margins.

But not every firm needs the same solution. Some need a lightweight timer, while others need a fully connected PSA where time data flows directly into forecasting, resource management, and revenue recognition.

We compared 7 of the top time tracking tools so you can find the right fit for your firm.
