Consulting magazine's inaugural issue rolled off the presses in the winter of 1999. Of course, the profession is no where near where it was when everyone was busy frantically making Y2K preparations.

Ah, the good old days. In the last decade, the industry has evolved and morphed into something very different. Sure, the hallmarks of great client service haven't gone away, but consulting's seen its share of shakeup and sagas since last millennium. The editors at Consulting took their best shot at defining the ten biggest stories of the last decade. How'd we do?

  1. The Collapse of Arthur Andersen
  2. Big Four Diverstitures
  3. The Economy: Downturns Leave Lasting Impressions
  4. IBM's Emergence as the Profession's Largest Firm
  5. Sarbanes Oxley – The Gift that Kept Giving
  6. The Rise and Fall of the E-Consultancies
  7. When Bad Deals Happen to Good Firms: EDS & A.T. Kearney
