📍 Weekly Exclusive Interviews
This edition explores how AI, branding, and research are reshaping consulting in 2026. Mark Andrews shows that AI adoption is not just a technology issue but a behavioral one, requiring teams to rethink how work gets done so that manual effort drops and productivity rises.
Jed Morley’s branding data adds another layer, with more than 73% of firms reporting stronger results from consistent messaging.
Eric Garrison rounds it out with research showing that 85% of CEOs now rely on custom KPI dashboards, making data clarity a strategic necessity rather than a reporting exercise.
Software Oasis™ B2B Executive Virtual AI Integration Summit is coming up on June 4th, 2026. While other B2B leaders are rapidly reshaping their organizations around AI, many teams still remain underprepared and stuck in outdated systems and workflows. Join executives from Onfire AI, Ultimo, Pluralsight, RingCentral, LoopUp, Smartbridge, and 28+ other industry leaders who are already building AI-integrated environments—transforming technical debt, scalability, and human-AI collaboration into lasting competitive advantage.

Mark Andrews, a renowned expert in AI adoption, shares key insights into how businesses are integrating AI into their operations. His data, collected through engagements with top-tier clients, reveals significant trends in AI usage and its impact on productivity.
“AI adoption starts with a behavioral change from traditional work methods to new possibilities.” — Mark Andrews, Expert, AI Prophets

In the ever-evolving world of B2B consulting, statistics for 2026 highlight significant trends reshaping the industry. Eric Garrison's expertise in SaaS and digital strategy provides a unique perspective on these developments.
“AI solutions are essential for moving the financial needle in businesses.” — Eric Garrison, Expert, WTE Solutions
Eric Garrison's data reveals that a significant number of CEOs are currently navigating the challenges of fragmented data systems. As of 2026, consulting statistics show that 85% of CEOs rely on custom KPI dashboards.
Across AI adoption, brand consistency, and executive reporting, the same theme emerges: clarity drives performance. Firms that change behavior, unify messaging, and organize decision data well are better positioned to turn consulting insight into measurable business impact.
Last month, 375,204 founders and global executives tuned in to the Software Oasis™ podcast network to learn. For the first time, you can stand in front of that influential audience—plus our community of top-3% consulting, SaaS, and creator founders and
executives—through a single sponsorship opportunity.
The next edition lands Tuesday, with a deeper look at how firms can connect AI adoption, brand discipline, and KPI visibility into one operating model.
P.S. Reply with the area that feels weakest today—AI behavior change, brand consistency, or KPI clarity—and that topic can move higher on the list for a future issue.
