# McKinsey & Company

**Profile:** Global management consulting firm; a major producer of research on AI adoption and economic impact and a heavy internal AI user. Canonical reference: the McKinsey global corporate site.

**Role in source:** Cited as an early, aggressive adopter of agentic AI — the lead example of the [[concept-agentic-workforce]] paradigm, counting **20,000 AI agents** as part of its official **80,000-strong workforce** (60k humans + 20k agents).

**Related:** [[entity-bob-sternfels]] (Global Managing Partner), [[claim-rapid-agent-adoption]].

**Caveat:** The specific agent headcount is unverified in public sources (see enrichment note on [[claim-rapid-agent-adoption]]).
