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."

Methodology
Classic 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.
