The annual Forbes list, produced in partnership with market research firm Statista, draws on recommendations from consultants and clients around the world to recognise leading consulting firms across different industries and areas of expertise.
This year, Q5 has been recognised across 6 categories:
Consumer Goods & Retail; Healthcare & Life Sciences; HR & Coaching; Internet, E-Commerce, Media & Entertainment; Public & Social Sector; and lastly our highest rated category ‘Organisation & Change Management’.
While those categories reflect some of the breadth of our work, the way we approach it remains consistent. We work closely with organisations to understand what’s really getting in the way of performance and help create practical, lasting change.
Over the past five years, the challenges facing organisations have continued to evolve. So have we. We’ve grown our teams and capabilities, strengthened the relationships we have with clients and continued to develop how we support organisations to perform at their best.
What hasn’t changed is the importance we place on the people behind the work.
This recognition belongs to the expertise and energy of our teams, the care and commitment they bring to their work every day.
Five years running is a milestone worth celebrating. Thank you to everyone who’s been part of it.
