He wants ones who play hard, too. When talking about the culture of six-and-a-half-year-old Seattle-based Slalom Consulting, the founder and national general manager of the firm describes an environment that sounds more like a cocktail party than a consulting firm. “I don’t know if this a good thing to say, but we’re a lot of fun. jdurett@kennedyinfo.com (Jacqueline Durett) Fri, 28 Sep 2007 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.consultingmag.com/articles/603/1/West-Monroe-Partners/West-Monroe-Partners.html This five-and-a-half-year-old firm was founded by a group of former Arthur Andersen employees under the  direction of Dean Fischer, who now serves as West Monroe Partners’ president, and Kevin McCarty, who leads the company’s enterprise solutions and merger and acquisition practices. jdurett@kennedyinfo.com (Jacqueline Durett) Fri, 28 Sep 2007 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.consultingmag.com/articles/602/1/Oliver-Wyman/Oliver-Wyman.html As a firm, Oliver Wyman has existed only since May when Mercer Oliver Wyman, Mercer Management Consulting and Mercer Delta were combined. Two of those firms—Mercer Oliver Wyman and Mercer Management Consulting—tied for eighth on our list of Best Firms in 2006. So, it should come as no surprise then, that the newly formed Oliver Wyman would also rank No. 8 on this year’s list.

Of course, these days every day is training day at Booz Allen Hamilton. That’s because training and employee development plays a critical role in everything the firm does—from bringing new employees into the fold to succession planning to appraisals. jkornik@kennedyinfo.com (Joe Kornik) Fri, 28 Sep 2007 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.consultingmag.com/articles/599/1/PRTM/PRTM.html PRTM, an operational strategy and innovation firm has been a player in the management consulting arena for three decades. It has consistently found a home in Consulting’s Best Firms to Work For survey over the past six years. What makes it stand out from its peers? One element, says PRTM’s Global Managing Director Scott Hefter, is that the firm realizes that consultants have a choice when it comes to where they choose to work. jdurett@kennedyinfo.com (Jacqueline Durett) Fri, 28 Sep 2007 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.consultingmag.com/articles/598/1/North-Highland/North-Highland.html Own your life; own your career; own your company.” That’s the phrase Daniel Reardon, president and CEO of North Highland, says drives his Atlanta-based employee-owned consulting firm. While the idea of personal responsibility is nothing new, Reardon is quick to point out all the ways that North Highland stands out from the crowd.

About a year-and-a-half ago, Attia was in residency as a surgeon in a hospital. With more than 10 years invested in the medical profession, he realized that it wasn’t going to be a good fit for the long term. jkornik@kennedyinfo.com (Joe Kornik) Fri, 28 Sep 2007 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.consultingmag.com/articles/596/1/The-Boston-Consulting-Group/The-Boston-Consulting-Group.html At The Boston Consulting Group, how they work is  as important, perhaps, as the work they do. That’s why Hans-Paul Buerkner, CEO of the firm, makes his best effort to fly to all 64 of BCG’s worldwide offices annually to personally meet with the firm’s leaders. “I think it’s very important that we have a high-interaction culture. jkornik@kennedyinfo.com (Joe Kornik) Fri, 28 Sep 2007 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.consultingmag.com/articles/595/1/Bain--Company/Bain--Company.html What can we say about Bain & Company? The firm continues its stranglehold on our annual Best Firms to Work For survey by again claiming the top spot. This year, however, Bain & Company not only finished first in our ranking, the firm actually swept all six of the major categories—compensation, work/life balance, career development, job experience, firm leadership and firm culture—that the survey measures. jkornik@kennedyinfo.com (Joe Kornik) Fri, 28 Sep 2007 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.consultingmag.com/articles/594/1/About-the-Survey/About-the-Survey.html The Consulting magazine 2007 Best Firms to Work For is based on nearly 9,000 respondents from 190 firms. Surveys were completed during the summer of 2007. Participants were asked for basic demographic information, although it was not a disqualifier if a submitted entry did not contain this information.

The information was valuable and the competition stiff. But this year, it’s a whole new ball game: We heard from 9,000 professionals representing 190 firms. And each firm has a unique culture and model—as well as its own consultants willing to open up about what’s working and what’s not. jdurett@kennedyinfo.com (Jacqueline Durett) Fri, 28 Sep 2007 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.consultingmag.com/articles/351/1/Firm-Snapshot-Mercer-Oliver-Wyman/Firm-Snapshot-Mercer-Oliver-Wyman.html editor@kennedyinfo.com (Inés Peschiera) Mon, 20 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.consultingmag.com/articles/350/1/Firm-Snapshot-Mercer-Management-Consulting/Firm-Snapshot-Mercer-Management-Consulting.html editor@kennedyinfo.com (Inés Peschiera) Mon, 20 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.consultingmag.com/articles/352/1/Firm-Snapshot-Diamond-Management---Technology-Consultants/Firm-Snapshot-Diamond-Management---Technology-Consultants.html editor@kennedyinfo.com (Inés Peschiera) Sun, 19 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.consultingmag.com/articles/353/1/Firm-Snapshot-Huron-Consulting-Group/Firm-Snapshot-Huron-Consulting-Group.html editor@kennedyinfo.com (Inés Peschiera) Sat, 18 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.consultingmag.com/articles/358/1/Reporters-Notebook-A-Visit-with-Mercer-Oliver-Wyman/Reporters-Notebook-A-Visit-with-Mercer-Oliver-Wyman.html Inés Peschiera visits Mercer Oliver Wyman in NYC.
