To what end? To hire them? or to work for them?

There are USA-based organizations with global operations and some European-based ones with global operations. They each employ literally thousands of consultants and support staff. Size alone is not necessarily an indicator of EITHER

• best to hire

OR

• best to work for

Some firms are known for being premier in consulting certain industries (banking, pharmaceuticals, construction, transportation, energy, nonprofits, even governments)

There are even consultants who act as "bird dogs" to help organizations select the best consultant for a particular goal.

Good post, Wes.

Can you be more specific? Are you speaking of Lean, Process, Supply Chain, Logistics, Quality? There are several consultants in each of those.

According to the OP it doesn't matter (my emphasis added below).

The thread title says "Operation Consulting" without further explanation of what that means.

At any rate, there's this for whatever it's worth, and this.

I have friends and colleagues who work at seven of the top 20 on the vault.com list.

Accenture, of course, is the consulting spin-off of the Arthur Anderson accounting firm. I've hired those consultants (same guys) both from the days when they were still Arthur Anderson and since the spin-off. Very good and very expensive - I thought they delivered value for the money.

The bench strength of big firms like these is fantastic. They are able to put teams on the ground at every installation of a transglobal firm without any seeming strain on their resources and every team is well-backed by support staff.

Accenture were/are one of the premium firms for dealing with financial matters. Folks at Gartner have a well deserved reputation for anything to do with software and IT (Information Technology.)
