    Is Your Firm Worth Buying?

    For leaders building a serious consulting firm, growth is not the end goal. Options are. Whether you want an eventual exit or simply the freedom that comes with scale, the real question is whether your firm is built in a way that someone else would want to buy it. In this episode, consulting industry veterans Mark Orttung and Dominique Rennell introduce the Growth Maturity Model they are developing to help consulting firms assess how strong and scalable their growth engine really is. They share what they are seeing across high-performing firms, where most leaders overestimate their maturity, and how elite firms engineer predictable growth that attracts premium multiples.
