West Monroe named AI Consulting Firm of the Year for 2026

West Monroe, an AI-native global consulting firm, has been named 'Overall AI Consulting Firm of the Year' in the 2026 Artificial Intelligence Breakthrough Awards program. The award recognizes the company's deliberate transformation into an AI-native organization that embeds artificial intelligence into how it works, delivers, and makes decisions. Key innovations include the launch of WestMonroe.ai, a public platform of AI-powered strategy agents, and Clonal, an operational intelligence platform. West Monroe also operates an internal AI Store where employees can access over 450 AI solutions, enabling the firm to advise clients from a position of real-world execution rather than just theory.

West Monroe's achievements in 2026 extend beyond this award. The firm also received the only Gold Stevie Award for AI-Driven Culture of Innovation across all companies, a Bronze Stevie Award for Chief AI Officer of the Year (awarded to Bret Greenstein), and was named a Top Management Consulting Firm of the Year by Forbes in the Artificial Intelligence category. According to Bret Greenstein, Chief AI Officer at West Monroe, 'The firms that create the most value in the AI era will be those that have transformed their own organizations and can bring that firsthand experience to clients.' The AI Breakthrough Awards program, now in its nearly tenth year, recognized over 5,000 nominations from 20+ countries, with winners including NVIDIA, Snowflake, Dell Technologies, HP, and Qualcomm.
