The old saying used to be that you won’t get fired for buying IBM and, when you have a large high-profile project that needs consulting support you won’t get fired for hiring a large brand name consulting partner like Accenture, IBM, Deloitte, McKinsey, Bain, or BCG, even if the project fails. But, you probably won’t get promoted either, even if it’s a success. To be recognized and promoted you need to work with a firm that won’t take any of the glory away from you. So, yes, hire a large brand name firm when the risk-reward profile for you personally is high-risk, low-reward, but when you have an idea or opportunity, that, if implemented successfully, could make your career, hire a small, reliable, and dedicated firm like Pepper Foster Consulting because you’re going to like working with us and you’re going to love the results we achieve together.
