Your capability centres need people who can think like the firm and build like an operator.
Consulting firms are building serious capability and knowledge centres in India, running research, analytics, and delivery for engagements worldwide. The leaders you need carry firm-grade rigour and the operating instinct to run a centre. That blend is rare, and the people who have it are watched closely by their peers.
You need firm-grade thinking and operator instinct, and most people have one.
A capability-centre leader has to hold two things at once: the analytical rigour and client standard of the firm, and the operating discipline to actually run a team and a P&L of capacity. People who have both are rare. The strong consultants often haven't operated, and the strong operators don't always meet the firm's bar.
And the search is delicate. Consulting is a small, well-networked world, so an open process can be read across the market quickly. The best moves here are mapped and discreet, not advertised.
Rigour and operating instinct, both verified.
We map across consulting and industry, assess for both the firm's bar and real operating ability, and keep the search discreet in a small market.
