We're hosting a Consulting Leaders Happy Hour in London, and we'd love to see you there. 💚

As we head into the final months of 2026, it's the perfect moment to step away from the day-to-day and connect with other leaders who understand the unique pressures of running a professional services firm.

📍 El Pastor, Battersea Power Station
🗓️ Tuesday 30th September, 5-8pm

A relaxed evening of good drinks, great Mexican food, and conversation about Q4 priorities, 2027 planning, or whatever's on your mind.

Most engineering firms spend around 15% of revenue on back-office admin. The best AI-era firms will run it at single digits.

For all the hype and skepticism around AI, back-office admin is one place it earns its keep. The work is repetitive and rules-based which is exactly what AI is good at.

On Sept 29th, join our UK Market Lead Alison Murtagh, CEO Mark Orttung and CCO Dominique Rennell for a free 60-minute session on cutting the cost of admin. We'll cover:

- What admin is really costing your firm, and where you should sit as you grow
- What it means to run a profitable engineering firm in the AI-era
- Live AI demos you can start using to reduce admin right away

📅 September 29th | ⏰ 11am BST

We're hearing the same thing from leaders: people on the team are using AI, but it's all a bit ad hoc. Everyone's doing their own thing, nothing's really shared, and it's hard to tell if it's actually saving time or it just feels like it is.

So on September 16th we're running a hands-on workshop to fix that, hosted by Alison Murtagh from Projectworks and Simon Moore from Form Consultancy.

This is not another "sit and listen" session. You'll actually build a Claude Skill you can take back to your team the next day.

Event details:
📅 Wednesday, September 16th
⏰ 5–6pm
📍 Projectworks Offices, Moorgate, London

Note: you'll need a laptop and a paid Claude license to build along with us.

AI is daunting. We hear the same question from engineering consultancies all the time: will this actually help my firm, or am I jumping on a bandwagon?

The reality is, between skills shortages, rising costs, and delays that feel inevitable, AI won't fix all of the UK's engineering challenges. But what it can do, is help you move faster with what you've already got.

That's why we've put together a new content series, AI for Engineering Firms: Measuring Impact & ROI — a practical guide to adopting AI and driving tangible value for your firm.

As well as a guide to measuring ROI, you'll also get 5 AI Cheat Sheets covering:

⏰ Drafting timesheets with AI
🔔 Running timesheet reminders with AI
💸 Understanding project financial risk with AI
🔥 Solving last-minute resourcing issues with AI
📝 Drafting client status updates with AI

Professional services is being reshaped by AI.

The work that eats consultants' weeks, chasing timesheets, building reports, drafting proposals, hunting through data, is exactly what AI does best. That's a generational shift in capacity, and we're building for it.

Our customers and prospects keep asking us for it, so we've been heads-down building. AI is the best lever we've found yet for growing a firm profitably, and we're putting it to work for the AI-native consulting firm.

Today we're announcing three applications of AI coming soon to Projectworks:

➡️ Kea, a teammate inside the platform that takes action to run your back office. It starts with resourcing: leave, backfill, and finding the best-fit person for every project.

➡️ Our MCP connects Projectworks to LLMs like Claude and ChatGPT, giving you an intelligent ecosystem built for how consulting firms actually run. Ask Claude who's free next month. Draft timesheets through ChatGPT.

➡️ Proposals trained on your winning bids, so you pitch more work and the quality holds.

This is purpose-built AI that clears the runway for your firm to scale. And it's just the start of what's coming.

👋 Come see where we're going:

Win more work with AI proposals, automate back-office tasks with Kea AI agent, and connect your data to ChatGPT & Claude. Built for growing consulting firms.

The infrastructure challenges of 2050 won't be solved by ambition alone. They'll be solved by firms that can plan, resource and deliver projects profitably, especially on projects that run into speed bumps and delays.

That's why we're sponsoring the Association for Consultancy and Engineering's Delivering Infrastructure 2050 on June 30th. Engineering and consulting firms are under pressure to do more with tighter margins, and the businesses that thrive will be the ones with real visibility into their people, projects and financials.

Looking forward to being part of the conversation!

Most firms don't lose profitability to one big mistake. They lose it quietly. A few percentage points at a time in places no one's watching.

In a new piece for Association for Consultancy and Engineering's Infrastructure Intelligence, we unpack the three quiet killers eroding margins across engineering consultancies:

→ Resourcing decisions made on instinct, not data
→ Utilisation that looks healthy on paper but leaks in practice
→ Scope creep that goes unbilled because no one catches it in time

None of these show up as a crisis. That's exactly what makes them dangerous and why the difference between a profitable project and a break-even one often comes down to visibility, not effort.
