Description

Most consultancies want to “use more tech,” but end up trapped in spreadsheets, scattered SaaS tools, and duct-taped automations that create more friction than they remove.

In this episode of The Consultancy Edge, Matt Hodkinson sits down with Patrick Kelly-Weller, founder of Adapt Digital, to unpack what smart, practical digital evolution actually looks like for consultancy firms.

Patrick shares the real difference between automation and AI, how to decide between off-the-shelf tools and bespoke solutions, and why so many consultancies slow themselves down by overcomplicating simple processes. He also talks about vibe-coding with AI, the hidden pitfalls of DIY tech builds, and what a modern consultancy website should really be doing.

If you're thinking about productising your IP, tightening up delivery, or replacing your internal maze of spreadsheets and manual admin, this episode is a must-listen.

Listen now and learn how to make work smoother, simpler, and far more scalable.
