At The Bureau, we’re seeing firsthand how AI is reshaping the professional services landscape. Our partners at Harvest recently shared some powerful insights on how AI is making an impact. 💡 Moral of the story: AI is no longer optional—it’s essential for thriving in the modern business landscape. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eX8-q73f
At Harvest, we recently talked to some of our customers about the impact of AI on their professional services business. The main takeaways are: ✅ AI is doing the grunt work, allowing teams to spend more time on higher level work ✅ AI is expanding the type of services professional services businesses can provide to clients ✅ AI is not optional. It’s essential for remaining competitive Special thanks to Harrison Blum of Social Revolt Agency, Adnan LaPamuk of Konsist, and Andrew Nelson of Silverback Strategies for sharing their insights!

⚖️ Balancing Scope, Budget, and Reality 💡 Scope creep is a constant challenge, but how do you manage it without straining budgets or relationships? The key is clear communication from the start. Here’s what you can do: Nail Down Scope Details – When things are vague, dig deeper. Be specific and clear. Set Realistic Budgets – Align your estimates with actual capabilities. Don’t Be Afraid to Push Back – If something doesn’t make sense, politely challenge it early. Building successful projects isn’t about “going through the motions” – it’s about managing expectations, staying clear, and keeping your team and partners on the same page. 💡 Pro Tip: Take a proactive approach to scope, budget, and communication. It’ll make all the difference.

🎙️ Need some weekend listening?!
Brand & Marketing Strategist | Emerging & Disrupted Markets, Higher Ed, Cultural & Nonprofit Sectors | Speaker & Contemporary Artist | CEO & President, Digital @ adeo
Few people know agencies like Carl Smith does. From agency life to leading The Bureau, Carl brings a rare, real-world perspective. In this episode of Escape Velocity, we talk about the messy realities of running creative businesses, why “digital” doesn’t mean what it used to, and what AI, burnout, ego, and partnership really look like behind the scenes. In this rapid-fire clip, Carl comes in hot with strong opinions on retainers, remote work, full-time vs. freelance, and whether design systems are just a myth. Listen to the whole episode wherever you listen to Podcasts, and pardon the glitches and my congestion during this interview! Covid still manages to mess things up (not sure I can blame it for the technical difficulties but I'm gonna.)

Have you checked out Agency MythBusters yet? We’re three episodes deep, and the debates are getting heated. 🔥 In Episode 1, we tackled the myth of scaling agencies. Can it even be done? 🤔 In Episode 2, we went head-to-head on whether billing hourly limits profitability (trust me, this one gets spicy). 💸 And in Episode 3, we dive into the age-old question: Is speaking at agency conferences a waste of time, or a game-changer? 🎤 If you enjoy a good debate, hot takes, and a little (mostly 😉 ) friendly roasting between Carl Smith and Nicholas Petroski, this is the show for you. You won’t want to miss it! 🎧 https://lnkd.in/gNyDeT8R Special thanks to our sponsor, Parallax, for making this all happen! 🙌 P.S. If you haven’t subscribed yet, what are you waiting for?

🚨 Calling all Bureau members & alumni! 🚨
I ❤️ The Bureau—where leaders and their teams find connection, growth, and friendship. Recovering founder, zero successful exits, advocate for humanity in leadership.
As we start working on the rebrand of The Bureau (code name: Project Free Bird) we want to have as many real photos as possible of Bureau members and alumni for all of the different uses of the new identity, especially the website. Being a member-led community, we promote members in everything we do. So, if you have any photos from hanging out with fellow citizens of The Bureauverse recently or from back in the olden times, could you please let me know in the comments? Thank Ye! We have a Project Free Bird photo album that I'll send you access to. We’ll be including linked company names with all the photos we use. 😇
