# BCG Henderson Institute

**Entity type:** Organization (research institute).

The BCG Henderson Institute is the research arm of [[entity-boston-consulting-group-d6]], focused on business and strategy topics including AI adoption and workforce transformation. Several of the article's authors — [[entity-matthew-kropp]], [[entity-julie-bedard]], [[entity-emma-wiles]], [[entity-megan-hsu]], and [[entity-lisa-krayer]] — are Fellows or Ambassadors here.

The Institute is the cited source of the **executive/IC perception gap** in [[claim-perception-gap]]: **76% of executives** believe employees are enthusiastic about AI, while only **31% of individual contributors** actually are. In the enrichment overlay it is treated as a canonical organizational reference for AI-and-workforce research.
