PwC Rated as a Leader in AI Consulting Services by Forrester

PwC announced that it was cited as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: AI Consulting Services, Q2 2026. Commenting on PwC, the report mentions the following: Strategy. PwC’s solid vision and innovation for AI meet clients where they are: AI-enhanced operations, AI-native organizations, or AI-native ecosystems. Its excellent talent strategy allows clients access to onshore and nearshore labor for rapid responsiveness and to an offshore pool (from 12 delivery centers) for optimized costs. PwC has a superior mix of traditional and results-based pricing, where it puts fees at risk in a third of engagements. It is on par with supporting services for engineering and cybersecurity and in its extensive partner ecosystem — it was the first reseller of OpenAI’s ChatGPT enterprise and a launch partner for Anthropic’s industry offerings. Capabilities. PwC builds in FinOps at the front and deploys differentiated AI operating solutions on the client’s infrastructure, helping it earn top marks in value management, AI operations, and AI architecture. The firm is on par with business strategy and excels in change management, where it applies the lessons from its own deployment of Microsoft Copilot to 230,000 PwC employees and cited double-digit productivity gains across the board. Customer feedback. Customers value PwC’s ability to adapt quickly to changing requirements, combine advisory work with hands-on engineering delivery, and manage projects collaboratively with clear communication.
