This list was built through two surveys: one for partners and executives of management consulting firms and one specifically designed for clients.
Firms were considered for the industries in which they consult (such as automotive, insurance, and health care) and for the functional areas in which they offer services (including leadership, sustainability, and legal and litigation).
The firms with the most recommendations in each category were given star ratings: five stars for “very frequently recommended,” four stars for “frequently recommended” and three stars for “recommended.”
