The Top 101 Consulting Frameworks of 2020
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 (e.g. Digital Transformation, Customer-centric Design) and customer demand. (See the top 101 consulting frameworks of 2019.)
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 Leadership Development.
