pretty much.


Not at all. ABC and CEB sell subscription services to their industry reporting, insights, etc. They don't do strategy engagements like MBB. Model is wholly different.

Is it really? I always thought the work product wasn't pragmatic business solutions but rather white papers, reports, and the like. Clients pay MBB to make immediate change - not write a paper on it and present at a conference.


McK and BCG do tons of white papers as well - I notice their white papers in places like HBR and other publications more often than ABC's.

220 employees. Ouch. Is this what we should expect in DC for the next four years?
