With the risk environment more complex than ever and with the frequency and impact of disruption rising due to the confluence of changing geopolitical trends, technology disruption and rising stakeholder expectations, boards are looking for better ways to stay abreast of change or to get ahead of it. At the same time, while many companies have invested in basic internal risk controls, they are still blindsided by risk. These trends are creating tension among companies for the need to do something.

It’s based on the unparalleled knowledge that we’ve acquired through years of surveying and interviewing consultants and their clients, and through the work we’ve done—and continue to do—advising the leaders of the world’s biggest and most successful consulting firms about their businesses. A full list of firms for which brand perception summaries are available can be found towards the back of this document. REPORT EXTRACT: non-exclusively licensed for internal use only 3 Methodology In December 2015 we surveyed 2,649 clients—senior end users of consulting services from around the globe, all of whom had made extensive use of consultants—and asked them to tell us about three Firms included in our global study and consulting firms of their choosing, giving us 9,278 responses in total. We asked about those firms’ how we classify them: capabilities, across a range of consulting services, about the extent to which they deliver value relative to the fees they charge, and about the attributes they associate with each firm. We also asked about the Accenture Technology likelihood of using a firm, whether they have recommended a firm, and if that firm is their first choice for Aon Hewitt HR each service.
