The MBB, "Big Four," and Accenture business models are experiencing deep structural strains as they adapt their traditional models to the AI era. Junior-heavy firms, such as those, offer "reinvention" as a buzzword. A CEO's worst nightmare is a force of junior consultants intent on "reinventing" the business.
We offer Intellectual Property that guides organizations in rebuilding their Governance, Capability, and Project disciplines to de-risk their strategic portfolios and optimize their return on investment from AI. We call it the GCP-AI™ Rebuild Blueprint.
"Reinvention" doesn't cut it — a full teardown and rebuild is required.
Prosultant® represents a new breed of advisory—one that synthesizes thousands of multi-industry engagements and assignments with the rapid acceleration of Generative and Agentic AI. We don't just prompt; we apply decades of boardroom "gut feel" to the precision of modern intelligence engines.

Strategic Agility at the Speed of AI.
In today’s competitive landscape, time-to-decision is the ultimate strategic advantage. The traditional model of relying on junior-heavy, lengthy, expensive, and often opaque management consulting engagements is no longer tenable for agile CEOs and modern executives.
Prosultant® offers a bold new path, leveraging advanced Generative AI and expert playbooks to deliver validated management advice and performance-improvement solutions, thereby accelerating your strategic decision-making.
This is the future of management advisory services: Agile, senior-heavy, drama-free, value-based, and on-demand.
Our Story.
Prosultant® originated from a 1997 discussion among former Big Six (now Big Four) management consultants.
We envisioned advanced ecosystems capable of delivering intelligence, expertise, and know-how that organizations could leverage either to reduce their reliance on management consultants or to improve the outcomes of their engagements with consultants.
Today, advances in communication, networking, and AI are enabling the development of those advanced ecosystems.
Our Encore.
Retired from our formal roles, we’ve chosen to come back for an encore and fully embrace the sixth major technology transition of our careers—Ubiquitous AI & The Edge. Our aim is to show that, in the AI era, elite management consulting doesn’t have to be expensive, built on pyramids of junior staff, or automatically preferred over the talent you’ve already invested in. AI levels the playing field between global consulting brands and your own people—especially those eager to lean into AI.
Despite the advice of one of our EY partners (who reminded us that executives value only the advice they pay dearly for, not the free kind), we decided to share our know‑how and content at no cost. Why take such a contrarian stance?
To achieve our goal, we chose not to put up paywalls that would deter time‑pressed professionals and teams from using the content.
We were fortunate to have mentors and peers who invested in us, challenged us, and supported our careers at every inflection point.
We also had the privilege of working for and with some of the best employers and clients in the world—Global 500, private‑sector, public‑sector, middle‑market, and entrepreneurial organizations. We're deeply grateful for their support as professionals and people, their patience with our mistakes, and their commitment to developing our skills, sponsoring our progression, and treating us with respect.
Now it’s our turn to return the favor. Please share our content with your teams, challenge it, suggest new topics, and reach out if you’d like a sounding board or hands‑on support. There’s much more on the way.
We’re also having fun. For years, we wanted to get our hands dirty with technology, but we were paid to stay at the whiteboard as strategists and advisors. Now we finally get to roll up our sleeves, experiment at the edge, and learn in public—with all the humility that entails.
If you find value in what we’re doing, please consider a small contribution—something like the cost of your favorite cup of coffee (we do love our morning coffee)—to help cover the site’s operating costs. We don’t draw salaries from this work, and we’re not optimizing for profit. Any contributions beyond operating expenses will be donated to national nonprofit organizations such as NAMI.
Every site should have a face behind it. Meet our lead founder.
Most importantly, in this era of rapid change and deep structural disruption, prioritize your health and happiness by adopting these practices.

George Dean
With a career spanning more than 600 projects and thousands of outcomes, I'm still learning and adapting to change.
Scott, Chris, and I were dreamers in 1997 when I registered the domain prosultant.com. We were pyramid inverters and impatient disrupters. Frustrated and lacking the tools to realize our vision for change, we went our separate ways.
I ended up in Minneapolis, working at Best Buy, a Fortune 500 company that operated like a startup.
