I can see interest rates driving M&A deal flow but not much outside of that. Investment dollars to fund other consulting were on the sidelines pending election, but with outcome known have seen significant uptick in spend.

Odd take - I think a lot of boomer senior executives exiting in coming years and don’t want big projects in flight. Lots of strategy and assessment work for next few years but until more boomers retire real capital spending will be slow.

my sister died this morning. I posted about her in a past post. Alcohol addiction, liver failure and then it taxed the kidneys too much, she went into cardiac arrest at 9 am and they could not save her. She was 51. Sad day for sure. Feels odd that she is no longer here. I just wish she could have had a better future.
