We Built the Firm We Desperately Needed But Couldn't Find
Born from Frustration.
Forged by Experience.
Built by Executives Who've Been Burned.
Dedicated to Doing Better.
The stakes have never been higher, yet the advice has never been more compromised.
So, we built a different kind of firm, where honesty matters more than billable hours.
This isn't just a business but a necessary intervention. This is advisory rebuilt for leaders who deserve better.
For nearly a century, firms have built empires on a foundation of borrowed credibility. They charged premium fees, delivered junior talent, promised transformation, while peddling recycled frameworks, and claimed independence while chasing the next sales commission or upsell.
Today’s consulting is a fundamentally broken business model that creates dependency rather than capability and that prioritizes consultant revenue over client impact.
The evidence is everywhere. Projects that fail more often than they succeed while clients feel overcharged and underserved.
Clients are tired of receiving theoretical strategies that crumble upon contact with reality. Executives now recognize that the "strategic insight" is merely common sense wrapped in jargon. The endless parade of consultants, who've never run a business telling experienced executives how to run theirs, has eroded trust to historic lows.
Today, as AI disrupts the facade and economic headwinds expose the fragility of consulting, it's time for a radical rebirth, one that swaps the self-serving hype machine for unyielding truth.
What clients desperately need is a consulting model that puts skin in the game, guarantees results, operates with radical transparency, and prioritizes client success over consultant enrichment.
The industry's reckoning isn't coming - it's here. The old guard has had their chance, and the data shows they've failed spectacularly.
A new model for consulting is not just preferable… it’s essential.
Vorpal Hedge is that new model.
