Hah yes -- consultants do get paid a lot to make decisions on behalf of executives who don't want to. Or more specifically, ones who don't want to be blamed if it doesn't go well. A former colleague once quipped, "no one ever got fired for hiring McKinsey." That said, making decisions is EXACTLY where productized consulting services get interesting. I have a productized workplace happiness service (https://worknice.co https://worknice.co), and a massive part of the value is that the AI has the authority to make decisions for the client (granted, they're not big strategy decisions; it's more like whether we should bring puppies to the office or have a wine & cheese night). Tl;dr no one at a company likes making decisions because they don't want to be blamed if it goes bad. But AI built into productized consulting services can potentially make decisions, taking it off the humans' plate, and that's capturing the same value consultants provide.
