[Flash Note] Strategic Reflections from Big-4 Experience

This note distils key strategic lessons from high-level advisory work within and against large consulting firms (“Big 4”). It examines how scale, incentives and internal dynamics shape the quality of strategic advice, and what this implies for boards, CEOs and decision-makers who rely on external counsel.

The focus is not on anecdote, but on structure: which types of problems large firms handle well, where they systematically underperform, and how to design advisory relationships that actually improve strategic clarity instead of adding noise.

Ideal for

• CEOs and executive committees.

• Strategy and transformation units.

• Family offices and long-term investors.

• Advisory, legal and consulting leaders.
