I read an article in World Trade last week, which outlined the top Supply Chain Consultancies out in the market. Although it is a bit of a retail specific journal, these are some of the biggest and best companies out there and have cross-vertical application. In no particular order:

• Accenture
• McKinsey & Company
• A.T. Kearney
• Hitachi Consulting
• Grant Thornton
• Booz Allen Hamilton
• PRTM
• IBM Global Business Services
• Deloitte Consulting
• BearingPoint
• Capgemini

These are all fine companies and we have either brushed paths or directly worked with almost all of them. I would argue that many of our clients could also get excellent value out of some smaller firms that I have extreme confidence in such as:

• Mitchell Madison Group
• Archstone Consulting
• Denali Consulting
• Tenzing Consulting
• Transpac Access
• Mercer Management Consulting
• CSC
• The Claro Group
• Opera Solutions

I won’t even get into the vertically specific groups and I apologize in advance for any forgotten.
