Progression in Consultancy - who gets in, who gets ahead and how?
This dynamic session was led by Nik Miller who drew on millions of datapoints, including published Bridge Group research with firms including KPMG, PwC and the Civil Service. The session also focused on the effects of socio-economic background on those working in the profession – where the evidence indicates that class has a stronger effect on progression in consultancy, compared with e.g. ethnicity and gender. There was an opportunity for discussion and debate, and practical takeaways to support your practices and understanding.
