The most prestigious boutique consulting firms

Question

What are the most prestigious boutique consulting firms out there?

thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Hi there,

While adding the caveat that this is very geography AND industry-specific, here are some well-respected rankings below.

Essentially anything that's not Big 3 (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) or Big 4 (Deloitte, EY, Accenture, PwC) is bucketed into boutique.

Answer 2

Hello!

It totally DEPENDS on:

Industry
Segment
Geography

Can you be a bit more specific?

Hope it helps!

Answer 3

Well, if it is a boutique, it is usually fairly unkown outside it's field of expertise.

Answer 4

Agree with the others. They are called 'boutique' for a reason and will tend to specialise in specific topics so a boutique consultancy that is the most prestiguous for transformation is likely to be different from one that is most prestiguous for digital etc.

Answer 5

Dear A,

It depends highly on the region. But for instance, my pesonal list would be:

1. LEK

2. Arthur D Little

3. Stern& Stuart

To name just 3 of them. But again, in every region there are also hidden champions. There are also good boutique firms, which are highly specialized on one industry or sector.

Hope, it helps,

Best,

André
