“I've now managed three engagements over the last five months, therefore I have a good idea of the 10EQS way of working. A recent project was typical - investigating the market for cell-phone base-stations in4 Latin American countries. A superb 10EQS team plus the usual expert-finding team made the project start fast and keep momentum throughout, and we somewhat over-delivered to a demanding client in a little over a week total.”

“I see many advantages for clients in the 10EQS new-era consulting model. The amount of independent expert input is impressive, allowing much greater accuracy and verification of information, essentially greatly reducing the risk for the client. Possibly overlooked by many is the benefit of vastly improved speed, with a credible, rigorously analysed answer available to clients within weeks, not months, made possible by the degree of expert input, by teams working in time zones around the world (often having 24-hour coverage of the working day), and by sensible use of communications technologies. Not only does the 10EQS model drastically reduce the expense (and cost to the client), but probably more importantly, it lets clients explore more alternatives (e.g. 'let's examine 6 possible markets over the next couple of months instead of only being able to pick just one').”

“I see a great benefit to the individual consultant also. I appreciate having the time flexibility to be able to fit in with my two young children's lives, and I get the intellectual satisfaction of learning about, and delivering value from, many strategic insights. Drawbacks? Well, the time zones mean I have to work some odd hours for North America-based clients, and I find I have to push myself to have those 'how are things going?' chats with team members because we don't naturally meet around the office watercooler, but the benefits of the flexibility clearly outweigh those.”

“I've truly enjoyed my work with 10EQS, especially the talent and energy that we bring to client engagements, and the creative ways in which we seek to redefine how to serve clients in management consulting. The model of combining cutting-edge, in-depth research with tailored perspectives from industry experts will change completely how management consultants meet client need. I also like the flexibility and variety inherent in the model, in which an EM can tackle a wide range of subjects and problems, tailored to individual schedules and needs.”
