"The ultimate value of consulting lies in implementing the
recommended solution and delivering actual results for the client.
I personally believe that Bain excels in this aspect. Rigorous
performance-oriented philosophy is embedded in every aspect of how
work is done, which translates into strong commitment of Bainies
and practical results for the client."
