The consumer and retail consulting market is fragmenting. Specialists are winning deals that used to go to the big firms – and the clients driving that shift aren't going back.

2 partners from this year's Top Consumer & Retail Consulting Firms ranking break it down. 

Keith Fogerty from Advancy and Shikha Jain from Simon-Kucher share what's actually happening in the market – revenue growth pressure, AI's real role, private equity's tightening standards, and why a pretty PowerPoint that collects dust is a failed engagement.

If you're building a career in consumer or retail consulting, or running a practice in this space, this is the market intelligence you can't get anywhere else.
