Specialized AI advisory and capability building for strategy and management consulting firms, from proposal to delivery. Led by Adrien Foucault, ex-McKinsey consultant and Harvard MBA.
The firms you compete with have already deployed it. The advantage now belongs to those who use it with the most judgment, not those who simply use it first.

AI does not replace the consultant. It compresses the time between a question and a defensible answer. Here is where it matters most across a typical engagement.
Drafting a tailored proposal is among the most time-consuming pre-engagement tasks. AI accelerates the first draft, adapts it to your firm's templates and tone of voice, and frees senior time for the thinking that actually wins the deal.
The threat is specific to consulting. AI commoditizes the inputs, the desk research, the first-draft analysis, the formatted slide, and compresses the leveraged model that bills them. It does not commoditize what clients pay a premium for: judgment, synthesis, and a defensible point of view.
So the real question is not how to produce AI output faster. It is how to redesign your engagement model around the work that still commands a premium. That is what we advise on: where AI fits across your delivery, how your economics and pricing should adapt, and how to move your firm up the value curve before the market forces the move.
Some firms need a strategic partner to deploy AI across the practice. Others need their consultants genuinely fluent and productive. Most need both. We meet you where you are.
For firms deciding how AI should reshape their delivery model, their tooling, and their economics. We can act as your embedded AI experts.
For firms that want their consultants productive with AI on the work they actually do, and equipped with the judgment that protects the firm's value.
Spaik is led by Adrien Foucault, who spent four years as a McKinsey consultant in London and Paris. We understand the pyramid, the proposal grind, and the Sunday-night deck. This is not a generic enterprise AI playbook.
Adrien teaches AI applied to finance and consulting at HEC Paris and Sciences Po, and writes on AI strategy for Les Echos. The methods we teach are tested in the classroom and in the field, not borrowed from a vendor deck.
We do not just advise and leave a report behind. We build alongside your teams, within your own secure and approved tools, and treat client-data confidentiality as the first constraint of every engagement.
We work with a small number of consulting firms that are serious about turning AI into an advantage, where a senior partner is personally sponsoring the initiative rather than delegating it.
