We achieve this rate because we only use former partners from McKinsey, BCG et al. to develop our clients. This makes us unique.

    878: Economic impact of poor business judgement (Case Interview & Management Consulting classics)
    Sep 9 2026

    For this episode, let's revisit a Case Interview & Management Consulting classic where we discuss the economic impact of poor business judgement.

    The economic impact of poor business judgement, is a topic we managed every day as partners. Each time an associate made a poor "common sense" decision we needed to explain both the potential reputation and economic damage done to the firm. The former is well-known, but the latter is less known but just as important. In thinking through why consulting firms look for business judgement, it helps to consider the economic impact to clients and the firm.
