How is consulting changing, and what would it take to create a company that, at its core, is designed to meet these challenges while creating a stimulating environment for our people? That is the question we asked ourselves when we created Leading Path. The founders gained significant experience delivering client solutions while working for “The Big 5” consulting firms. Bitten by the entrepreneurial bug along with the desire to take the experience to build something new, Leading Path was created. Our firm has experienced great success, and significant growth by focusing on "The 3 R’s": Relationships, Reputation and Results. There is a reason that 100% of our growth has come from referrals.
