The Hackett Group has expanded its portfolio of generative AI-powered tools with two new platforms designed to significantly accelerate and enhance the delivery of business transformation and technology implementation services for its clients.
The Hackett Group launches XT™ and AIXelerator™, completing its suite of Gen AI-assisted service delivery platforms.
XT is designed for consulting-led business transformation, converting client data into actionable insights faster.
AIXelerator is built for software implementation engagements, streamlining the project delivery lifecycle.
Both platforms are powered by the firm's proprietary Solution Language Model (SLM) and its "Hackett Intelligence" IP.
The tools aim to reduce engagement effort by up to 40% by automating data analysis and standardizing outputs.
Leadership states this represents a new operating model, embedding Gen AI throughout the consulting delivery lifecycle.
With the introduction of XT and AIXelerator, The Hackett Group now offers a full suite of Gen AI platforms covering the spectrum of its services. This suite includes tools for initial AI ideation (AI XPLR, ZBrain), executive advisory (AskHackett.ai), and now, core service delivery for transformation (XT) and implementation (AIXelerator). The move signals a strategic shift to deeply embed proprietary artificial intelligence into the firm's fundamental consulting methodology.
Chairman and CEO Ted Fernandez emphasized the transformative impact on service delivery. “XT™ and AIXelerator™ are redefining the way consulting teams deliver strategic value, at a speed previously unattainable without Gen AI delivery platforms,” said Fernandez. “We have now created a full suite of Gen AI-assisted platforms that support all our engagements.”
The core differentiator for these platforms is their foundation in The Hackett Group's proprietary intellectual property. They are powered by a custom Solution Language Model (SLM) built on "Hackett Intelligence"—a repository of process flows, performance benchmarks, best practices, and engagement insights gathered from decades of work with global enterprises. This is designed to provide more context-aware and measurable insights than general-purpose AI tools.
Chief AI Innovation Officer Paulo Dominguez framed the launch as an operational evolution. “This is not just new technology – it’s a new operating model for how our teams engage with clients and deliver work,” said Dominguez. The platforms aim to amplify consultant expertise by handling data ingestion and preliminary analysis, freeing professionals to focus on strategic judgment, stakeholder engagement, and crafting roadmaps.
XT functions as a unified AI platform for business transformation. It ingests structured and unstructured client data to rapidly produce coherent analysis and recommendations, accelerating the journey from data gathering to actionable strategy.
AIXelerator integrates directly into the software implementation lifecycle, supporting teams from discovery and requirements through to deployment and monitoring. It aims to enhance consistency and streamline core activities across all project phases.
The stated benefit for clients is a dual advantage of significantly accelerated project timelines—with effort reduction claims of up to 40%—coupled with more actionable strategic value derived from the firm's benchmarked best practices.
