Business Analyst

At the beginning of their careers, business analysts acquire new skills and responsibilities at a rapid rate. They have the opportunity to build a deep understanding of their area of focus, as well as the chance to develop their broader business and problem solving skills.

Over several studies, business analysts also develop their expertise in working with clients, preparing effective communication materials, and delivering presentations to clients.

High performing business analysts typically find they are given more scope to work independently, applying their creativity and intellect to deliver unique, high impact analyses to generate real insight.

Associate

Exceptional business analysis skills and increased experience allow our Associates to focus on drawing out the key insights that will help solve our clients' problems. Associates also contribute to the initial problem definition, day-to-day management of the project, and the preparation and delivery of communication materials for senior client management teams and Boards.

Associates quickly find themselves taking ownership of important sub-projects within an overall study. For example, in a study of a potential acquisition they may be asked to develop a detailed understanding of a particular business unit within a target company.

More senior Associates are often assigned to more than one project and client at a time, given additional scope to develop problem solving and project leadership skills.

Associates also accept increased responsibility for the smooth coordination of our teams, and for providing advice, coaching and guidance to other team members. Our Associates also apply their experience to the design and delivery of our training programs, and usually play a substantial role in leading one or more other firm activities or initiatives.

Most people who join our firm as Associates have substantial consulting or industry experience.

Associate Principal

Promotion to Associate Principal level indicates potential to become a leader of our firm.

Associate Principals have demonstrated their abilities as outstanding problem solvers, project managers, and coaches for other team members, as well as an ability to develop solid, enduring client relationships.

In addition, Associate Principals find themselves increasingly seen by clients as more than a project or engagement manager, but as an adviser and thought partner around their most critical issues.

Associate Principals are expected to take a more active role in leading our relationships with clients, in addition to continuing to lead and manage the problem solving effort in individual engagements.
