Consulting Magazine Names Industry's Top 25 Consultants

Annual Ranking Recognizes Management Consulting Industry's Leading Professionals

The editors of Consulting Magazine today announced its annual ranking of the Top 25 Most Influential Consultants. The annual ranking once again profiles the strategists, technologists and management thinkers recognized to be the business world's hot wires of knowledge transfer.

"This year's nominees represent the breadth and depth of experiences consulting careers offer today," says Jack Sweeney, editor-in-chief of Consulting Magazine. "One of the great untold stories of the last century was the role consultants played in America's economic expansion. Our Top 25 consultant ranking is now helping expose how consultants are today energizing the world's economies."

The Top 25 consultants were selected from a list of several hundred consultant nominees representing firms from around the world. Each of the 2006 Top 25 Consultants will be profiled in this month's issue of Consulting Magazine.
