Course Syllabus
McKinsey now operates 20,000 AI agents alongside 40,000 human employees. BCG consultants have created 18,000 custom GPTs. Deloitte invested over a billion dollars in AI infrastructure. And 72% of McKinsey’s staff uses their internal AI tool, Lilli, every day.
But here’s what the headlines miss: you don’t need a Big Four budget to transform your consulting practice with AI. A solo consultant with ChatGPT, a few specialized tools, and the right workflow can cut research time by 70%, generate client-ready deliverables in a fraction of the time, and deliver insights that used to require a team.
This course shows you how — whether you’re at a global firm or running your own advisory practice.
What You’ll Learn
- The AI tools top consulting firms actually use — and the accessible alternatives that deliver similar results
- Research workflows that compress days of analysis into hours without sacrificing quality
- AI-assisted deliverable creation: proposals, presentations, reports, and executive summaries
- Strategy frameworks (Porter’s, SWOT, BCG Matrix) supercharged with AI-powered data and scenario modeling
- Knowledge management systems that capture institutional expertise and make past work retrievable
- The pricing revolution: why hourly billing punishes AI-efficient consultants and what to do instead
Who This Course Is For
- Independent consultants who want to compete with larger firms by leveraging AI
- Boutique firm leaders building AI-augmented practices for their teams
- Management consultants at any firm looking to integrate AI into daily workflows
- Strategy advisors who want to enhance framework analysis with AI-powered data
- New consultants building their practice from scratch with AI-first workflows
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this for Big Four consultants or independent consultants?
Both. We cover the proprietary tools McKinsey, BCG, and Deloitte have built, but focus primarily on accessible AI tools that any consultant — solo practitioner or boutique firm — can use today. The strategies apply at every firm size.
Will AI replace consultants?
No, but it will replace consultants who don't use AI. Research from Harvard Business School shows AI-augmented consultants complete 12% more tasks, 25% faster. The course teaches you how to be the consultant clients choose because of your AI advantage.
Do I need technical skills?
No coding required. The tools and workflows in this course use natural language interfaces — you type instructions in plain English. If you can write an email, you can use these tools.
How should I price my AI-augmented services?
We cover this in depth in Lesson 7. The short answer: 73% of clients prefer value-based pricing tied to outcomes, and AI lets you deliver in 40-60% of traditional timelines. The course helps you choose between hourly, value-based, and hybrid models.
