The American business magazine Forbes has once again published its list of the "World's Best Management Consulting Firms" this year. The Kloepfel Group, which operates in the DACH region, is delighted to be included in this exclusive group of the world's best consultants for the third time in a row.
232 management consulting firms and networks made it onto the Forbes list "World's Best Management Consulting Firms" in 2024. Forbes worked together with the statistics portal Statista to compile the list. In addition to national surveys in the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany, a global survey of 8,500 consultants and clients in 29 countries on all continents was also conducted.
For the Forbes list, consulting firms are divided into 13 sectors and 14 consulting areas. This includes topics relating to procurement and supply chain management within the "Procurement & Supply Chain Management" category.
In 2024, the Kloepfel Group was also named "Best Consultant" for the ninth year in a row by the business magazine brand eins and the statistics portal Statista.
Alexander Hornikel, Country Manager Kloepfel Consulting Germany, says: "We are deeply honored to once again be named one of the best consulting firms in the world.
