The consulting industry is entering a more volatile phase as the Big Four (Deloitte, PwC, EY, and KPMG) face a new kind of competition: former partners building well-funded firms designed to compete directly with them. As industry giants respond with aggressive legal action, they are forced to balance protecting their market share with broader risks around culture, talent, and long-term positioning. 

In this episode, Neal explores whether these hardball tactics could backfire, impacting how firms are perceived internally and by the private equity players they rely on as major clients. Listen in to hear about the shift in power that’s reshaping the industry from the inside.
