Kearney

Kearney traces its origins to a management-advisory firm founded in Chicago in 1926. The firm later became A.T. Kearney and adopted the Kearney name in 2020; Chicago remains its home and corporate base.

Kearney advises corporations, governments, and other organizations on strategy, digital and analytics, operations and performance, procurement, organization, sustainability, transactions, and transformation. Its work typically combines strategic analysis with implementation and operational change.

The firm is particularly associated with procurement, supply chain, operational improvement, and efficiency transformation. It also publishes benchmarking and research through the Kearney Supply Chain Institute and develops digital tools for spend analytics, supplier management, emissions visibility, and procurement transformation.
