We’re only at the start of what AI will do for maturity assessments. In this final chapter, I look ahead to the trends that are already taking shape, from self-learning assessment platforms and autonomous diagnostics, to AI that doesn’t just analyse your client’s business but actively helps run it.

I’ll share the signals I’m watching, the technologies I think will matter most, and the strategic moves consultants can make today to stay ahead of the curve. This isn’t about prediction for prediction’s sake, it’s about positioning. Because when the next shift comes (and it will), you don’t want to be reacting to it, you want to be ready to lead it.

By the end, you’ll have a forward-looking roadmap for maturity assessments as well as for your own consulting practice in an AI-driven world.

And that’s where the book leaves you but not where your journey ends. The real work starts when you take these tools, apply them, and see what they can do for your business. The question is: when will you start? Let me tell you, by getting your own copy of A Tool to Sell More.
