From my conversations with Big 4 partners, many still believe that not much is going to change. Their readiness to adapt is limited. I also see a lot of fear. How do you invent an outcome-based business model when you’ve been working in a "time and materials" model for 20 years? How do you rebuild an entire company from the ground up around this new approach?
It’s a massive shift that requires years that, in my opinion, they simply don't have.
There are a few more questions to ponder. What's their horizon? Are they retiring in 5-10 years? Do they have 20 years of professional work ahead of them?
The answers to those questions may dictate their posture to the problem...

Can't help asking: why would they sleepwalk into this?
It's the innovator's dilemma. Each firm is sort of forced to do it because the others are too.
