Question to Kearney, OW, S& people: what are the rituals to align with senior leadership on a typical case? At BCG we have case team meetings one or multiple times a week where we discuss with partners. Do you have such things or it is mainly up to the team/manager to lead all the work and align with partners.

Depends on the project and partner preferences, but what you describe above sounds very familiar for most projects
Same
really depends on project - short term cases partner can join daily calls, long term projects partner only checks in with team every other week
Damn I see how it is
(S&) Depends on the partner. Some are very hands on and will join every daily check-in / check-out. Some will only do it once a week. Some only make an appearance on the kickoff and readout calls.

OP - who is leading the case team meetings if it’s not the team lead/manager? Are you saying that is partner scheduled and driven? If so I would say that I’d very different from how we operate as our partners very much expect to be managed up and be given information without having to ask for it.
Thanks - Manager drives this but Partners are sometimes very hand on. Checking if elsewhere it is the case that partners(MDP) will be so hand on.
Outside of pressure cooker engagements like DDs, you'd expect the EM and Principal to set the cadence for upward updates. My experience in two different firms is partners want updates to be pushed to them rather than pulled.
