Hello,I am completing a DPhil and looking to utilise my significant knowledge of academia in a management consultancy firm. This is to say, I've already worked out that I'd like to specialise in consultancy oriented towards universities and related academic institutions.Can someone please advise which consultancies work most with universities and academic institutions? Is there a leading firm in this field?Is my thinking wise/flawed? i.e. should i be chasing a big4 first in order to get experience before specialising? (My thoughts are that, since I already know i'd like to consult with universities, etc, there's little point wasting time in a full service firm).Help greatly received.

This isn't a plug for any particular firm, but there's an advert for Southern Universities Management Services at http://www.top-consultant.com/UK/career/appointmentstwo.asp?ID=15277I don't know if they are any good, but they're the only university-specific firm I've come across.Tribal Group have a big education practice including FE/HE I think.
