EVANSTON, Ill. July 6, 2011

In its "Healthcare Consulting Marketplace 2010-2013" report released this spring, the market intelligence firm known for its research for and about the management and IT consulting professions recognized ZS Associates’ healthcare practice as a standout in the healthcare consulting industry.  Kennedy identified ZS as a "Vanguard provider in life sciences" and the only such firm to display "advancing service breadth or depth."

In the report covering more than 20 companies, Kennedy indicated the life sciences consulting practices of six firms — including ZS Associates, McKinsey & Co. and Accenture— had the broadest or deepest services.  ZS was cited as offering "deep strategic and operational advice in quantitative analysis of sales and marketing challenges."  Kennedy reserves its Vanguard recognition for the most powerful consultancies across major industry segments.
