Our Values

It started with words on a napkin. Those words became the values we practice every day.

Our Values

It started with words on a napkin. Those words became the values we practice every day.

PEOPLE FIRST

Our culture defines us at West Monroe. We’ve built our firm on the belief that when you combine personal growth, professional growth and a commitment to doing good in the world, you develop into an engaged, high performing team.

Clients tell us they love the experience, skills and spirit our team brings to every relationship. No wonder we’ve been named a Great Place to Work by FORTUNE magazine.

West Monroe Partners - Our 1+1+1 Program

We don’t just want to do well; we want to do good. Gary Beu and Kevin McCarty discuss our commitment to social responsibility.

Integrity

Integrity is paramount. The foundation of our client relationships is built on our strict adherence to the highest standards for moral and ethical business conduct.

Practical Innovation

Innovation means working together to create and refine practical, market-relevant approaches that are proven to produce value for our clients and for West Monroe Partners.

Social Responsibility

We don’t just want to do well; we want to do good. We know that our success ultimately depends on the health and viability of the people, communities, resources, and environment around us.

Quality Over Growth

Organizational growth is an essential ingredient for our long-term viability, but we will not sacrifice quality for growth. We hire only those people who bring the right mix of attitude and ability.

Employee Owned

We are 100 percent employee owned. Unlike most consulting firms, every one of our employees shares in our company’s financial performance and “owns” an interest in our future.

Best & Brightest

We invest in, mentor and retain people who demonstrate talent, potential and drive to be the best they can be. Our people take on responsibilities far beyond those available in larger organizations.

Respect for Diverse Experience & Thought

Diversity at West Monroe Partners embodies diversity of thinking and diversity of ideas—no one has a lock on the good ideas. We seek to understand first, and then to be understood.

Fun

Doing the type of work for which we have a passion, and doing it while working hard with people we enjoy and respect, makes for a rewarding, and even fun, environment.

People First

Our working environment is highly participatory and offers exceptional opportunities. This translates directly into the energy and enthusiasm with which our people approach their client work.

Nimble

We are responsive by remaining nimble. Responsiveness is one of the hallmarks of a successful consulting firm, and maintaining a nimble operating structure benefits our people as well as our clients.

Stewardship

Stewardship is everyone's responsibility. Every member of our team shares the goal of making West Monroe Partners a better place to work now than it was when they joined.

Client Service

Delivering the best client service requires commitment, communication, and compassion, and sometimes it even requires sacrifice.

Meritocracy

We operate on a philosophy of advancement based on ability, achievement and contribution to the firm and its clients—in other words, we promote our people when they are ready.

It All Started With a Vision And A Napkin

When we opened West Monroe Partners, we set out to build a different kind of consulting firm. One that provides our clients with a refreshing mix of approach, ability and attitude. And, one that provides our people with an engaging and rewarding environment with plentiful opportunities. What made this possible is the set of values we adopted on day one and have practiced every day since. In 2012, we added social responsibility to our core values - the only change to our values since inception. We believe that we have a responsibility to give back and we do so through initiatives like our 1+1+1 program and our Fischer Global Service Fellowship program.

"We're all about personal growth, professional growth, and doing good in the world."
