AI+ Management Consultants

Diagnose, Analyse and Advise Faster with AI

Three client engagements open on your laptop. One client's rival is in the next tab. Here's exactly where AI belongs in that.

Three client engagements are open on your laptop right now, and one client's rival is in the tab next to it — you already know exactly why an AI tool can't just be left running across all three. This book shows where AI genuinely earns its place in consulting: research synthesis, hypothesis testing, deck drafting, never the diagnosis. Meet the WALL Protocol and 22 ready-to-use prompts. Built by an AI engineering firm for consultants whose judgement is the actual product being sold.
