  Big 3 of consulting: McKinsey, BCG, Bain - These are all strategy only. Accenture was the consulting arm of Arther Anderson which was one of the Big 5 of accounting (Enron brought them down.) Accenture is known for implementation/technology/strategy. Along with Deliotte, CapGemini, Booz, etc. These firms differentiate themselves with implementation from the Big 3 that are strategy only.
