Research, proposals, slide decks, and client reports. The billable hours are going to admin instead of advice.

Consulting runs on research, analysis, and clear recommendations, and every one of those steps takes time. You spend hours pulling together market data, drafting proposals, formatting slide decks, and synthesizing findings across engagements. By the time a deliverable reaches the client, days of behind-the-scenes work have gone into it.

AI won't replace the strategic judgment that makes a great consultant. But it can take over the repetitive, time-heavy tasks that slow you down between insight and action. This course teaches you exactly how to put AI to work on research, proposals, reports, and knowledge management, step by step.
