More women in consulting - Listen, learn and lead the change
This podcast series that amplifies the perspectives of women in the consulting industry. Through honest conversations and personal reflections, we explore what it takes to lead, connect, and thrive in a field still striving for gender balance.
Each episode dives into key topics such as parental leave, internal and external networking, and leadership — all through the lens of those navigating the consulting world as women and allies.
This series builds on the work of the More Women in Consulting initiative — a cross-company collaboration launched in 2020 under the Confederation of Danish Industry, which over several years has mapped key challenges and gathered concrete, actionable solutions to drive progress across the management consulting industry.
Each episode delves into themes such as leadership, networking, parental leave, and equal pay. Through in-depth conversations with industry professionals, we explore what’s working and what still needs to change.
The foundation of this podcast is the 2024 inspirational catalogue, which presents 8 key initiatives and concrete recommendations for improving gender equality in management consulting.

More women in consulting - Listen, learn and lead the change
Internal women´s networks
This episode examines a popular initiative for promoting gender balance within the consulting industry: internal women’s networks.
While our previous episode focused on external women’s networks, this time we turn the spotlight inward to explore how to build and sustain successful internal networks.
These networks play a vital role in fostering connections among female colleagues, but they can also risk implying that the responsibility for addressing gender disparities lies solely with women themselves.
Join the conversation as we discuss how these networks can be effectively structured and function within the workplace.
To provide insights, we’ve gathered four panelists with extensive in-house consulting experience from Accenture, KPMG, EY, and Implement. They share their perspectives on the current and future relevance of internal networks, along with best practices and lessons learned for making the most of them.
