Q: What is the Top Consultants award?

A: It’s Consulting Magazine’s annual recognition of the Top most influential consultants. Firms and clients nominate the consultants who made the biggest impact and Consulting Magazine chooses winners within several categories, including Leadership, Client Service, Innovation, ESG and DEI.
 

Q: How are the Top Consultants recognized?

A: The Top Consultant honorees are recognized win a few ways: One, with an editorial feature showcasing achievements of each honoree. Two, honorees are recognized at a celebratory in-person awards and various package options are available to help publicize their success. Three, highlighted on Consulting Magazine's LinkedIn page.
 

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 $50 million in revenue for a client” or “saved the client $15 million,” for example.
 

Q: How strict are the word limits found in the nomination form?

A: Pretty strict. 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 400 and 500 nominations, so make your nomination stand out.
