The Inaugural Urwick Lecture

  
​How Management Consultancies
Change their Reputation

Management Consultancy is a reputation business; the capacity to win clients and attract talent depends enormously on a practice’s reputation. The Urwick Prize for 2017 has been awarded for research that shows effective ways in which consultancies can build and manage their reputation. The Urwick Lecture, which will be held jointly with the Centre for Management Consulting Excellence, will be challenging and engaging for consultants and clients alike, particularly as reputation is a key criterion for selecting a suitable consultancy.

The Urwick Prize is awarded annually for an outstanding recent piece of research relevant to management consultancy published in the UK. This year it has been presented to Professor William Harvey, Exeter Business School, Professor Timothy Morris, Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, and Dr Milena Mueller Santos, Kellogg College, University of Oxford, for their paper “Reputation and identity conflict in management consulting”. Professors Harvey and Morris will be the speakers at the lecture, which will be of wide interest not only to consultants, but also to users of consulting services, who often need to rely on reputation as a criterion for consultant selection and use.
