The Judgement Gap: Consultings AI Blindspot

\n \n
We are delighted to welcome Adam Riley and Dr. David Smith to present at the latest event in the CMCE p rogramme on the Responsible Use of AI.
\n \n
Every consultant has experienced the moment. A deadline is close\, the problem is messy\, and the machine produces something fluent and polished in the time it takes to refill your coffee. The r elief is real. So\, is the question that should fo llow and too often does not: has the thinking impr oved\, or only its appearance?
\n \n
As AI drives the cost of competent w ork toward zero\, the value shifts to what is hard est to automate and easiest to underrate: judgment \, creativity\, the sense to read a situation and the nerve to stand behind a call. Not\, it turns o ut\, ‘soft skills’ at all. This is the hard edge o f human advantage.
\n \n
Adam’s and Da vid’s presentation will travel from problem to pra ctice to people. They will start by defining the j udgment gap\; then turn to the habits that close i t and finally focus on the human skills that AI ma kes more valuable\, not less. 
\n \n
