Drawing on qualitative interviews with 14 consultants and observations from AI training workshops, the research identifies challenges such as unclear use cases, trust dynamics, and data security concerns. Findings reveal AI’s role in enhancing routine tasks, data analysis, and strategic insights while human judgment ensures contextual relevance. A structured Human-AI framework is proposed, integrating AI's computational strengths with consultants' expertise to improve decision efficiency and quality. Recommendations focus on training, organizational culture, and feedback mechanisms to foster successful AI adoption.engArtificial IntelligenceManagement consultingDecision-making optimizationHuman-AI collaborationConsultant expertiseAI integrationOptimizing decision-making in management consulting: leveraging synergies between Artificial Intelligence and consultant expertisemaster thesis203962010
