Abstract
To better prepare for the future of management consulting, this panel symposium takes a look at its past. An interactive, multi-media retrospective examines the history of management consulting, identifying those pivotal moments that shaped the field and continue to impact consulting practices and scholarship. Participants will hear from pioneers of management consulting and see archival footage exploring its development, bringing to life what many have only read about in textbooks. That retrospective serves as the foundation for the symposium’s second half: Four esteemed panelists share their predictions for the future of management consulting, identifying key drivers of transformation that have the power to shape the world of consulting.
