# Boston Consulting Group (BCG)

A global management consulting firm whose 2025 **'AI at Work'** survey data is the single most heavily cited evidence base in the article (report: *'AI at Work 2025: Momentum Builds, but Gaps Remain'*, bcg.com).

**Key findings cited:**
- **85% of leaders** use AI vs **51% of workers** — the core [[claim-adoption-gap]].
- **54% of workers** would use AI without formal approval — the basis of [[concept-shadow-ai]].
- Only ~**36%** feel properly trained.
- Companies focusing on [[concept-workflow-redesign|workflow redesign]] outperform those focused on tool deployment — [[claim-redesign-over-deployment]].

BCG's advice ('invest in your people to reshape workflows and unlock AI's value') is directionally aligned with the article's thesis and with McKinsey/KPMG guidance.
