The firm is again recognized across multiple industries and areas of expertise, including new rankings in Artificial Intelligence and Consumer Goods & Retail.
Cornerstone Research, a leading provider of economic and financial consulting and expert testimony, has been named to Forbes Magazine’s list of America’s Best Management Consulting Firms for the tenth consecutive year.
The firm is recognized as one of the 191 firms nationwide recommended for its performance across eight sectors and functional areas: Artificial Intelligence; Consumer Goods & Retail; Data Analytics & Big Data; Finance & Risk Management; Financial Institutions; Health Care & Life Sciences; IT, Technology, & Telecommunications; and Sales & CRM.
This is the first year Forbes has named the firm in Artificial Intelligence and Consumer Goods & Retail. Cornerstone Research has recently worked on high-profile matters across these areas, including a high-stakes securities case that involved cutting-edge large language model (LLM) technology and a number of consumer class actions involving the automobile industry.
Forbes recommended Cornerstone Research in Artificial Intelligence, Consumer Goods & Retail, and Financial Institutions—three areas in which the firm has consulted on recent high-profile matters.
Forbes partnered with Statista, a market research company, to create the list. Together they conducted two surveys. The first was of more than 1,200 clients who had worked with management consulting firms over the past four years, and the second was a peer-to-peer survey for partners and executives at consulting firms.
More than 1,200 clients and more than 1,150 industry insiders participated. Respondents from both groups were asked to recommend consultancies across 33 possible categories consisting of 16 client industries and 17 functional areas.
