The Barton Partnership has been recognised by Forbes as one of the World’s Best Consulting Networks for 2026, marking our fourth consecutive year on the list.
Compiled by Statista in collaboration with Forbes, the annual ranking recognises leading management consulting firms and consulting networks globally, based on independent recommendations from clients and consulting professionals.
Since launching our Independent Consulting proposition in 2014, The Barton Partnership has built a curated global network of more than 15,000 independent consultants and interim leaders, supporting clients with specialist individuals and teams for business-critical projects across the US, EMEA and APAC. To date, we have delivered more than 4,500 projects globally.
Oliver Phoenix, CEO of The Barton Partnership, commented: “Clients increasingly need specialist expertise they can bring in quickly around their most important priorities. Our Independent Consulting network gives them access to that capability across strategy, transformation, technology and value creation. To be recognised by Forbes for a fourth consecutive year is a great endorsement of the strength of the network we’ve built and the value it delivers for our clients.”
Our continued inclusion among the World’s Best Consulting Networks reflects the strength of the relationships we have built with clients and independent consultants globally, and our focus on providing high-quality, flexible expertise against complex and business-critical challenges.
