The 2017 Top 25 Consultants

In our annual Top 25 Consultants issue we take a break from covering the news that's impacting the industry and focus instead on who is making the impact in the industry—our 2017 Top 25 Consultants. And as it seems to be the case every single year, we were simply blown away by the nominations we received—particularly the ones from clients. We don't often get that kind of feedback from clients. It's inspiring, to say the least.

This year we received nearly 400 nominations, including more than 100 client nominations, and that's great news. While we're usually not able to share the client names or their stories publicly, it's a pleasure to hear from them—and even better to hear how much of an impact consultants are having on their businesses. It's not always easy for us to get that type of feedback from clients, and it's always greatly appreciated when we do.
