Kearney MEA - is it as bad as we thought ? Are they done ? What can we learn from this ? How can they go from top 3 to barely relevant ? How can they lose every major account so quickly ....

I don’t get the posts honestly. I see KEARNEY delivering to top clients in key engagements. It feels like many of the comments here are driven more by negativity than by actual experience. The moderators of this sub should do something about this I think

How is RB now

It is tiring, between all the noise, the ones who left and the ones who stayed… just look at the FACTS and you’ll get your answer. For me, it summarizes as follows: weak partners who got lucky during the golden period and then had a wake-up call, internal personal agenda from the current global CEO for over-hiring, favoritism culture, dumb decisions taken over and over again without learning from mistake (goes back to the quality of their partners). I have never seen ex-consultants hate their old company so much, that also should tell you a lot.

Don’t agree… I have positive things to say for majority of my previous firms

Apologies to all the other firms. A lot of negativity and the same people always making the noise.

The firm is definitely not shutting down. It still grew very slightly, but had insanely over-hired and needed to have a big correction all year. It was sad and unfortunate for sure, but the reality of a down-market that the firm only saw for the first time in the region.

K5 this is not the first down cycle since 2008 :p. And 2023 was probably the best year in consulting on the history of the Middle East. Kearney’s issues are much more profound and were only made worse by the downturn
