AI Declaration
How we use AI at Agar Management Consultancy
AI to support our research and analysis
At Agar Management Consultancy, we use AI, where appropriate, to support our research and analysis to enhance our consulting services. AI helps us to:
- Accelerate research: by using AI we can quickly gather background information and industry insights to inform our analysis.
- Enhance document creation: we use AI to support in drafting initial versions of reports, proposals, and strategic documents that our team then refine and validate.
- Improve analysis quality: AI supports us to process complex business scenarios and generate multiple strategic options for client consideration.
AI to support the idea process
At Agar Management Consultancy, we use AI, where appropriate, to support with the idea process for example for a particular session theme / focus, a new session activity, blogs and articles.
Our responsible approach
Client confidentiality first: We never input confidential client information into AI platforms. Instead, we use anonymised scenarios and hypothetical examples to maintain strict confidentiality.
Human expertise remains central: All AI outputs are reviewed, validated, and refined by our consultants. Final recommendations and strategic decisions always remain under human professional judgment.
Transparency with clients: Our AI declaration is in place to clearly explain how we use AI at Agar Management Consultancy. Our clients have the option to request purely human-generated work.
The result
This approach allows us to deliver higher quality insights more efficiently while maintaining the professional standards and personalised service our clients expect. AI helps us be better consultants – it doesn't replace our expertise; it amplifies it.
