- »One on One with Ed Hess
Grow or Die. It’s probably the most common business axiom, and the least accurate, according to the new book “Smart Growth: Building an Enduring Business by Managing the Risks of Growth” (Columbia Business School Publishing). To better understand the book’s implications for firms, Consulting’s One-on-One sat down with the book’s author, Ed Hess, a former Arthur Andersen strategy consultant and current professor at the University of Virginia's Darden Graduate School of Business.
- »One on One with Summit's David Litherland
When prospective employees interview for a job, they obsess over making a good, lasting impression. Firms should do the same. To learn how firms can avoid typical pitfalls, Consulting’s One on One sat down with David Litherland, managing partner of Summit Search Group, an executive search firm specializing in placing professionals within professional service firms.
- »One on One with PwC's Tom Craren
Senior executives are becoming immune to traditional marketing. Marketing consultants tell us that to pierce through the white noise of corporate communication, firms should consider “content marketing”. Instead of more traditional marketing, providing valuable insight and perspective in a blog or electronic newsletter can serve as a more effective door opener. One of the best examples is PricewaterhouseCoopers’ “10-Minute” series. For almost three years, PwC has boiled down complex thought leadership into small electronic pieces an executive can read in about ten minutes. To learn more about PwC’s marketing efforts, Consulting’s One-on-One sat down with Tom Craren, the firm’s brand strategy and thought leadership leader. His team of 20 writers produces between two to three 10-minute pieces each month, along with more detailed white papers.

»One on One with Eric Pelander – part 2
Unrated
Eric Perander, a partner inside the strategy-consulting firm Waterstone Management Group, spends most of his time advising on M&A deals. Part of his expertise stems from his role as a member of the small senior team inside IBM, which evaluated, planned and executed the acquisition and integration of PricewaterhouseCoopers Consulting. As consulting firms gear up for another wave of M&A, Consulting’s One on One sat down with Pelander to better understand the lessons he learned from one of the largest, and most successful, acquisitions in the profession’s history.
In the last edition we examined the keys to the success of the acquisition. Now, Pelander discusses the biggest challenges IBM had to overcome.

»One on One with Gallup's Tom Rath
Unrated
In 2010, Gallup launched a new consulting division focused on the wellbeing of the nation's workforce. The research on this topic is quite clear: A work force's wellbeing has a direct impact on an organization's bottom line. Across industries, the average sick day costs an employer about $200 in lost productivity. To better understand the findings, and to learn the implications for consulting firms, Consulting’s One on One sat down with Tom Rath, Gallup’s Global Practice Leader and co-author of the book Wellbeing: The Five Essential Elements (Gallup Press, May 2010), which is based on the firm’s research.

»One on One with West Monroe's Dean Fischer
Unrated
When BearingPoint went public in 2001, it did so without its European partners. And so when the public company was broken up into pieces and sold off following its bankruptcy last year, the European partners were largely unaffected. There was one exception: They no longer had a US footprint. After a lengthy search, BearingPoint’s European partners recently formed an exclusive alliance with West Monroe partners, a fast-growing 300 person Chicago-based firm. To better understand the ramifications of the deal, Consulting's One-on-One sat down with Dean Fisher, West Monroe’s CEO.
