To stay ahead in a rapidly evolving business and technological landscape, consultancies must harness cutting-edge tools that can enhance both strategy and delivery. AI is proving to be a game-changer — revolutionising how consultants gather insights, analyse data and provide impactful client solutions.
This workshop is the final instalment in our three-part series on ‘Consulting in the AI age’, in which we will reveal how consultants can unlock AI’s potential to deliver exceptional client outcomes. Umbar Shakir, Partner and Gartner and former Chief AI Strategy Office at Havas, will demonstrate how AI can streamline key consulting processes and improve your efficiency in the delivery phase.
As well as a Q&A with Umbar, she will cover:
- a concise yet powerful recap of AI fundamentals, including essential guidance on client data protection
- how Gen AI can support consultants throughout the delivery cycle, improving research, analysis and recommendations
- case studies featuring EY and Gate One, showcasing successful AI integration in consulting
- practical examples of document reviews, data analysis, and summarisation techniques using ChatGPT.
After attending this workshop, you will leave equipped with powerful insights and proven techniques to enhance your consultancy delivery. You will gain access to practical prompts that will enable you to efficiently analyse data, extract key insights and deliver impactful client solutions with greater confidence.
Members can watch the first workshop, ‘Harnessing AI for consultancy growth’ on the Growth Hub here. The recording of the second workshop will be available at the end of June 2025.
