The Top 101 Consulting Frameworks (2023 Year End)

At the end of each year, we publish a list of the top 101 consulting frameworks from the FlevyPro Library. We add new frameworks to FlevyPro each week based on market trends and customer demand.

Business frameworks are powerful tools consultants leverage to address their clients’ business issues in an organized, thorough, and efficient fashion. Each of our framework guides is a detailed PowerPoint presentation that provides a structured approach to analyzing and solving a common business problem, from issues in Strategy Development to Digital Transformation to Organizational Design (OD).

This article compiles our Top 101 Consulting Frameworks, based on sales and downloads as of December 2023. For a current running list of the top 100 best practices, check out these links:
