Arthur D. Little Completes Global Management Buyout; Again Owned By Partners
Monadnock Research - 2 January 2012
Arthur D. Little successfully completed its Management Buy-Out (MBO) with Altran Technologies on 30 December 2011. ADL, now in its 125th year in various forms, was founded in 1886 and was the world's first management consulting firm. The transaction returns ADL to a global private partnership, with all equity held by its Partners. The MBO deal includes all worldwide offices and retention of the Arthur D. Little brand. The firm says the financial commitment required from Partners was oversubscribed and Altran will provide vendor financing to support the firm's development in the years ahead. ADL now has around 1,000 staff serving clients in 20 countries. The firm provides services in the areas of strategy, technology and innovation. Ignacio GARCIA ALVES, leader of the MBO team that managed the acquisition by its Partners, is the newly elected global CEO. (390 words) . . . More

Consulting Client Insights: Vault Top 50 Consulting Firms
Monadnock Research (VIII N36) - 24 August 2010
Vault has just published its latest list of the top consulting firms, the "Vault 2011 Consulting 50." This year's ranking is not based strictly on the "prestige" factor, which is a ranking of perceptions by consultants of firms other than the one they work for. That listing is still published, but as a separate ranking. Vault's overall 2011 ranking weighs culture, work/life balance; compensation; prestige; business outlook; and transparency. While the Vault rankings might help firms with their college recruiting efforts, the utility for clients is limited. But taking a contrarian view provides some interesting perspective. This Research Note offers insights into what clients can learn from these rankings, and why high scores in some categories aren't necessarily good for your business or your project. The top 10 firms for the current ranking are: (1) Bain, (2) BCG, (3) McKinsey, (4) Analysis, (5) Cambridge Group, (6) Deloitte, (7) Oliver Wyman, (8) A.T. Kearney, (9) Triage, and (10) Censeo.
