West Monroe Partners LLC - Our Culture & Values

We are 100-percent employee owned.

Unlike most consulting firms, we are 100-percent employee owned, and each one of our employees shares in our firm's financial performance. That means we can set our own rules for how we work with clients. And it means we have a team of motivated professionals who are looking out for the best interests of each other, the firm and our clients.

Stewardship is everyone's responsibility.

We make it a priority to develop and utilize properly the talents of all our people and to maximize the opportunities available to them at West Monroe Partners. In return, our people understand and subscribe to the concepts of organizational stewardship -- putting the interests of the organization first, knowing that the firm is looking out for their personal interests.

Practical innovation drives better results.

Every situation is an opportunity for innovation. When we tackle a problem, we come to the table with a methodology-independent mindset and no canned approaches to sell. We will ask tough questions, probe for underlying issues, consider the implications, and present an approach that is completely aligned with the client's goals.

We respect diverse experiences and thought.

All ideas are welcome as we strive to provide the best possible solutions for our clients. We value diversity but define it much more broadly than in cultural terms. We live by the principle that "two heads are better than one," and we rely on this principle, and each other, to make smart business decisions.

Meritocracy provides opportunities.

West Monroe Partners operates on a philosophy of advancement based on ability, achievement and contribution to the firm and its clients. We provide the opportunities and some clear goals and criteria for advancement; you provide the effort and results. How far and fast you go . . . well, that's up to you.

We seek the best and brightest.

When you work with West Monroe Partners, you are assured of working with seasoned professionals who have years of directly relevant business and technology consulting experience. Our consultants are hand-picked from leading global professional service firms and corporations, and are entrenched in the issues of growing organizations.

We strive for quality before growth.

Of course we want to grow and develop as a firm, and we are proud of what we have been able to accomplish in our early years as West Monroe Partners. But we have taken great care to grow on our terms, and quality is at the top of that list of terms. We add to our team only when we find someone who brings the right mix of attitude and ability and who shares our values.

We are responsive by remaining nimble.

West Monroe Partners excels at responsiveness because we established, and have steadfastly maintained, an efficient, nimble operating structure that benefits our people as well as our clients. If a client's need is very specific or its budget is tight, we empower and trust our people to find the right ways to respond to clients and the market.

We have fun at work.

If you ask any member of our team what is different about working at West Monroe Partners, one of the words you are likely to hear is "fun." But fun does not imply casual, easy, or carefree. To the contrary, it means everything about the kind of place we all want to work -- a place that is challenging, fast-paced, thoughtful, team-oriented, and rewarding. One to which our people look forward to coming to work, day in and day out.
