麥肯錫大膽用AI搶鏡,顧問時代變天?

麥肯錫面對人工智能的挑戰與轉型

著名的顧問公司麥肯錫,正正面臨人工智能(AI)帶來的衝擊。這些高薪的顧問們如今要面對AI代理人——一種能自主完成特定任務的AI模型,能即時交付結果,且毋須要求六位數的年薪。

麥肯錫負責AI工作的高級合夥人Kate Smaje向《華爾街日報》坦言:「我認為這對我們這個行業來說是生死存亡的問題,沒錯。」但她也強調:「我相信這對我們來說是個存在上的好事。」

於是,這間公司便如同其專長一樣,在這個轉型時代內部展開諮詢。全球管理合夥人Bob Sternfels透露,AI已成為每場董事會議的討論重點。

經過一番考慮後,麥肯錫看似決定跟隨潮流,毫無保留地投入AI技術。根據《華爾街日報》報導,該公司已在內部部署約12,000個AI代理人。這是在過去18個月內,麥肯錫員工數目由45,000人縮減至40,000人的背景下發生的。不過公司強調,裁員並非因為AI的關係。

Sternfels向《華爾街日報》表示:「我們會繼續招聘,但同時也會繼續打造AI代理人。」他預見不久的將來,麥肯錫會有一個AI代理人對應一名員工。

當然,麥肯錫並非AI的受害者,而是試圖在這股趨勢中雙重獲利。據報導,該公司約40%的收入——2023年超過160億美元——來自AI相關的顧問服務。Sternfels形容這是為了跟上客戶的步伐:「你不希望幫助你的人,實驗的速度比你慢。」

麥肯錫內部最常用的AI代理人幫助撰寫符合公司風格的文件。其他AI工具則用於摘要文件和訪談,甚至製作PowerPoint簡報。還有一款AI能「檢查顧問論點的邏輯,確保推理流程合理。」

然而,這種對AI的全盤接受也引來質疑和憂慮。AI工具固然高效,但並非絕對可靠。即使是最先進的大型語言模型(LLM)也經常「幻覺」——即捏造錯誤資訊,且很難被察覺。類似的問題在法律界已見端倪:有律師因信賴AI撰寫文件或引用案例法,結果導致嚴重法律錯誤,甚至引用了完全不存在的案例。

此外,有研究指出技術進步未必能持續線性增長。OpenAI最新推出的GPT-5模型,經過兩年開發後表現平平,令不少人對AI能力的飛躍抱持保留態度。

麥肯錫為了保持市場地位,急於擁抱這種有疑慮的技術,反而凸顯出大型顧問公司在現今時代的「恐龍」形象。

業界其他人則視此為警鐘,呼籲更重視人的因素。

顧問公司Oliver Wyman的CEO Nick Studer告訴《華爾街日報》:「管理顧問的傲慢時代已經結束,客戶不想要穿西裝只會做PowerPoint的人,他們需要願意深入實地,協助團隊對齊和共同創造的人。」

Smaje也認為:「現在技術能帶來不錯的平均答案,基本的中等專業知識會被取代,但獨特的專業知識反而更有價值。」

Sternfels同樣強調麥肯錫作為「領袖工廠」的聲譽,「這是我認為AI無法取代的。」

編輯評論:AI浪潮下的顧問業新思維

麥肯錫這次全力擁抱AI,表面看似積極迎合潮流,實則反映出現代顧問行業面對技術顛覆的焦慮與矛盾。AI代理人雖然能快速處理大量資料和初步分析,卻無法完全取代人類的判斷力、創造力和人際互動能力。麥肯錫的策略是試圖將AI視為助力,讓顧問們在更高層次發揮價值。

然而,AI仍存在「幻覺」問題,這在高風險的決策環境中尤其致命。顧問公司若過度依賴AI,恐怕會損害專業信譽和客戶信任。這提醒我們,AI應該是輔助工具,而非決策者。

更重要的是,客戶需求正從傳統的「穿西裝做PowerPoint」轉向更貼近實務、共同創造的合作模式。這代表顧問必須重新定位自己,強化人文關懷、團隊整合和創新引導的能力。技術進步不能取代「人」的價值,反而應成為促進人類智慧和團隊合作的催化劑。

麥肯錫的「AI代理人對應員工」的願景,雖然雄心勃勃,但也可能帶來組織文化和工作生態的深刻變革。未來的顧問行業能否成功轉型,不只是技術問題,更是如何融合科技與人性的藝術。

總結來說,麥肯錫的動向不僅是對AI浪潮的回應,更是顧問業重新思考自身定位和價值的契機。這場變革呼喚更多的謹慎、創新與人本精神,才能在AI時代中立於不敗之地。
