Written By Sel Watts

In this episode of The Consulting Pulse by CMap our CEO, Sel Watts, and Stanton Law Founder Todd Stanton join host Ben Edwards for a candid, hard-hitting conversation. Together, they unpack a crucial reality for professional services: why a deliberate people strategy isn't just an HR function, but the ultimate engine for sustainable business growth.

The discussion highlights the key factors reshaping modern firms, including:

  • Common HR blind spots that quietly erode team performance and culture.

  • How the rapid integration of AI is reshaping firm structures, roles, and accountability.
