History
In 1983, three Bain partners from London – James Lawrence, Iain Evans and Richard Koch – founded L.E.K.[4]
L.E.K. merged with Alcar Consulting Group in 1993. Founded in 1979,[5] Alcar pioneered value-based management (VBM) principles that maximized result impact for clients.[6]
Projects include providing strategic and commercial advice for the U.K. government on the privatisation of passenger train operating companies in the mid-1990s, assisting the launch of one of the first pure direct internet banks in 1996, and transforming a global pharmaceutical company into an industry leader in 2009.[citation needed]
In 2007, L.E.K. was awarded the Queen's Award for Enterprise for international trade and export.[7] In 2008, L.E.K. became the first global major management consulting firm to hold carbon neutral status.[8] In 2022, the firm was ranked 9th by Firsthand in the "Vault Consulting 50".[9]
L.E.K. utilizes a local staffing model, where consultants travel less compared to other firms.[10]
