Q: When are the Rising Stars of the Profession nominations open?
A: In 2019, the survey will be open between November 19, 2018 and January 18, 2019. Full results will be published in the March 2019 issue of Consulting magazine.
Q: What is the Rising Stars of the Profession award?
A: It’s Consulting magazine’s annual recognition of the Rising Stars of the Profession: 35 under 35. Firms and clients nominate consultants under the age of 35 who’ve made the biggest impact and Consulting chooses winners among several categories, including Leadership, Client Service and several service line and client-industry categories.
Q: Who is eligible to be a Rising Star of the Profession?
A: Any consultant who is under the age of 35 before February 1, 2019.
Q: How are the Rising Stars recognized?
A: The Rising Stars of the Profession are recognized a few ways: One, with an editorial feature in the March issue of the magazine. Two, winners are recognized at a celebratory gala awards dinner in Chicago in April. In 2019, that dinner is on April 11 at the W Chicago Lakeshore. In addition, Consulting issues a press release highlighting the winners.
Q: What does the editorial judging committee look for in a nomination?
A: Without getting into specifics, the committee is always impressed by measurable metrics and quantifiable results. Specifics are important. That means “cost savings and revenue generation” isn’t nearly as memorable as “generated $25 million in revenue for a client” or “saved the client or firm $5 million,” for example.
Q: How strict are the word limits found in the nomination form?
A: Pretty strict, although slightly over is OK. However, the limits are there for a reason and going way over the limits won’t help your nominee’s chances. Be concise and to the point as much as possible. We typically get between 300 and 400 nominations for just 35 spots, so make your nomination stand out.
Q: Is it for U.S.-based consultants only?
A: No, the Rising Stars of the Profession is a global award. However, we fully expect all award winners will attend the dinner in Chicago on April 11.
Q: Did my completed survey go through?
A: Yes, assuming you saw our “Thank You” page at the end of the survey.
Q: Is there a cost to participate?
A: No.
