When organisations embark on critical change management teams face tough challenges that often require skills, experience and time that the team doesn’t have. This is one of the many reasons businesses employ management consultants. The London economy and business environment is witnessing unprecedented levels of change, and more and more clients are looking to Berkeley to take on key client advisory and delivery roles to help them succeed.
The work
Berkeley's management consultants in London work with FTSE 100 multinationals across a range of sectors, including financial services, energy, retail and FMCG.
Client work includes
- Direction setting: developing business, operational and IT strategy. Consulting firms who can support clients from the outset are able to ensure that strategic plans are practical and implementable, and not just "slide-ware"
- Mobilisation and shaping: Shaping, scoping and initiation of change programmes, including business case definition, planning, building the programme team and supplier selection.
- Delivery: Hands-on programme management and project management including programme and project review and turnaround.
What makes Berkleley different?
Berkeley's success depends on the quality of its people. This means more than simply recruiting the best, it’s about offering our consultants unique opportunities and helping them achieve their full potential.
Berkeley people:
- Are highly experienced and have made major contributions to business change and IT change at a range of blue chip clients. The firm doesn't use associates.
- Take on key roles but don’t take over. With an average of 1-2 consultants on an assignment, Berkeley doesn’t overwhelm with large teams but takes only key roles.
- Are impartial and independent. Berkeley people say what they think. The consultancy has no commercial alliances with third parties, and no internal sales incentives. Its only agenda is the client’s agenda.
Why do clients use Berkeley?
Berkeley's clients choose to use the firm again and again. With over 95% of its work being repeat business, clients clearly see the value Berkeley brings. The firm's focus on strategic alignment and successful delivery has helped Berkeley to achieve hundreds of millions of pounds of bottom line benefits for its clients.

Changing jobs at any stage in your career is a big decision. Although several years ago now, I still remember how unsettling it was to resign from the only full-time job in management consultancy I'd ever had, to join what was then a new firm with only 16 employees.
This is why we view recruitment more broadly than a filtering process. Joining us is a joint exploration that allows you to understand as much as you can about us, while we get to know you.
For me, the move to Berkeley was a good decision. If you think we might be the right step in accelerating your management consulting career, please come in and talk to us. You might even enjoy the experience!
