Consulting firm QBRs that cover utilization, pipeline health, engagement outcomes, and partner productivity — the levers that drive the business.
Consulting firm QBRs need to report utilization, pipeline by stage, and engagement-level outcomes — very different metrics from SaaS. This template structures the partner-level business view (bookings, utilization, CSAT, partner productivity) alongside the firm view (revenue, margin, headcount), reflecting how consulting firms actually evaluate performance.

Industry norms: 70-80% target utilization for senior consultants, 80-90% for managers, 50-60% for partners (who should spend time on BD and mentorship). Below target is a leading indicator for underperformance; above target for sustained periods signals burnout risk.
Yes for client outcomes — one slide with 3-5 marquee engagements, quantified results, and client quotes (with permission). Helps partners share across practices and trains the firm on what good looks like. Skip naming for troubled engagements; discuss those in a separate post-mortem forum.
