AI Training vs Consulting: Why Training Always Wins

External consultants or trained teams? An honest analysis of the real ROI.

By Alpha Oumar Sow

# AI Training vs Consulting

The Real Cost of Consulting

Senior AI consultant: 800-2,000/day. A 3-month project: 30,000-80,000. Once they leave, what remains?

The ROI of Training

Training 2 employees: 1,500-5,000. After training: understanding, use-case identification, prototyping, multiplier effect.

The Winning Model

  1. Train first (3-5 days)
  2. Launch a supported pilot
  3. Level up with advanced modules
  4. Call a consultant only for blockers

Invest in training. Results take longer, but they last.
