Has anyone here shifted from more traditional strategy/ops consulting (e.g. MBB/Big 4) to innovation/design consulting (e.g. IDEO/frog/F212/Method)? Did you find what you were looking for, and what are the similarities/differences between the two?

I see no one replied to this post OP, but I'm also looking into a similar pivot and am curious about the same! Were you able to uncover any interesting insights by talking to folks who done this?
