Unlock AI’s Potential: A Workshop for Forward-Thinking Management Consultants

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, AI is transforming how industries operate, and management consultants are uniquely positioned to leverage these advancements to deliver added value to clients. Join us for AI Practical Implementation for Management Consultants, a 4-hour interactive workshop designed to equip you with hands-on experience in AI tools and techniques. Take advantage of this opportunity to stay at the forefront of consulting by integrating AI into your projects.

This hands-on workshop is designed to equip management consultants with tactical skills to apply AI in real-world client engagements, especially in business process optimization, deep research, and strategic advisory. The training simulates a CRM sourcing project for a growing non-profit, offering direct experience with tools that accelerate research, enhance decision-making, and improve client value delivery.

• Accelerate Research & Strategic Analysis: Leverage ChatGPT’s Deep Research capabilities to scan the CRM market, assess client requirements, and compare vendors. You’ll learn prompt engineering techniques to generate structured competitive research reports in minutes - not days.
• Create Compelling Visuals with Midjourney & Ideogram: Turn your research into polished, professional visuals - client dashboards, process diagrams, and user personas—to enhance presentations and stakeholder buy-in.
• Deliver Client-Ready Presentations with Gamma.app: Convert research findings and recommendations into sleek, AI-assisted slide decks. Consultants will walk away with a complete proposal presentation, ready to adapt to real projects.

• Dynamic Tools Comparison Frameworks: Learn how to analyze and articulate differences between leading AI models (GPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek), and select the best-fit assistant depending on the business use case.

3. Real Results in Less Time

• Hands-On Case Simulation: You’ll work through a CRM sourcing engagement for a fictitious nonprofit, using AI at every step - from initial scope review to final presentation. The exercise mirrors actual consulting workflows and builds muscle memory for rapid delivery.
• Reduced Effort, Elevated Value: By combining multiple AI tools for research, ideation, visualization, and delivery, you’ll learn how to reduce project timeframes and expand the depth of your recommendations - without additional staff or overhead.
• AI as a Co-Pilot, Not a Shortcut: This workshop emphasizes responsible AI adoption, including discussions on bias, hallucination risks, and ethical boundaries to help you deliver trustworthy, human-validated results.

Outcome:

By the end of this workshop, you’ll be able to apply a full suite of AI tools to your consulting projects - streamlining research, enriching strategy, and accelerating delivery timelines. This will position you as a high-value advisor for clients navigating complex decisions in the AI era.
