FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE:FCN), the global business advisory firm
dedicated to helping organizations protect and enhance their
enterprise value, today announced that FTI Consulting has been
named on Forbes magazine’s inaugural list of America’s Best
Management Consulting Firms. FTI Consulting was recognized in 17
categories, including 10 industries and seven functional areas.
Forbes magazine, in collaboration with online statistics
provider Statista, conducted two comprehensive online surveys to
determine the inaugural list. The first surveyed over 7,250
professionals, including partners and project managers, from
management consultancies, and asked them to recommend
consultancies, excluding their own, across 15 industries and 16
functional areas. The second surveyed more than 1,300
management consultancy clients, and asked them to recommend
consultancies they have worked with in the last four years.
Only 20 of the more than 250 consulting firms named to the
inaugural list were recognized in more than 15 categories,
showcasing the breadth and depth of FTI Consulting’s industry and
functional expertise. Beyond being recognized in multiple
categories, FTI Consulting had a "Disproportionately High Number of
Client Recommendations."

with deep industry expertise across all five of our businesses. It
is the capabilities and efforts of our teams that lead us to win a
disproportionate number of jobs in these sectors and to support the
most critical engagements out there,” said Steven H. Gunby,
President and Chief Executive Officer at FTI Consulting. “I am most
excited about our high number of client recommendations, which is a
true testament to our deep client relationships and commitment to

MethodologyClassic management consultancy
firms, IT consultancies, advisory branches of auditing firms and
consultancy branches of agencies were considered for this list. The
list is based on two surveys; one with consulting management
professionals and one with clients of the management consultancies.
Both surveys were conducted online. For the online survey of
consulting management professionals a total of 7,286 email
addresses of partners and executives of management consultancies
were identified. Firms included in the sample were identified
through: lists of associations (e.g. AMCF), consulting directories
(e.g. Consulting Bench), competitions (e.g. Vault) and company
databases (e.g. Hoovers).The field period ran from November 16,
2015 to December 18, 2015. Following the survey of consulting
management professionals, an online survey was conducted among
1,316 senior executives, who have previously worked with management
consultancies. They were recruited through an online access panel.
The field work lasted from January 21, 2016 to February 4, 2016. In
each industry and functional area the management consultancies were
sorted based on three, four or five stars. The groups were sorted
into the classes based on the mean of the number of stars
recommended per industry and per functional area. The ranking is
comprised exclusively of consultancies that have a sufficient
number of recommendations; a mention is therefore positive and
indicates a vote of confidence from the market. The ranking was
created through an elaborate process. The quality of management
consultancies that are not included in the list is not
disputed.
