You’ve spent years mastering your industry—Telecom, Finance, Healthcare, Manufacturing. You know how decisions are made, where the bottlenecks are, and what change looks like from the inside.
But here’s the truth: industry expertise alone no longer drives transformation.Without structure—without a way to link goals to execution—most expert advice becomes just another voice in the room.
That’s where ICMG’s Enterprise Anatomy Model changes the game.And that’s why we’re building a new kind of leadership role:The Principal Consultant (Industry).
1. What the Role Entails
As a Principal Consultant (Industry), you lead structured transformation in your vertical. You don’t just advise—you engineer change using ICMG’s proprietary Strategy-to-Execution Model.From diagnosing enterprise problems to creating system-linked operating models, you become the go-to transformation partner for your sector.
This role begins with a city-focused practice, but expands as you grow—across cities, and eventually across borders.Each Principal Consultant works within a dedicated industry zone (exclusive by city), forming the bridge between ICMG’s global consulting structure and deep local expertise.
2. Who This Role Is Designed For
This role is for:
Independent consultants ready to scale their domain knowledge into structured enterprise engagements
Senior industry leaders transitioning from executive roles into high-impact consulting
Professionals with credibility, depth, and real-world context—who now want a model and platform to multiply their impact
You’ve already proven your value. Now it’s time to scale your expertise with structure.
3. What Makes This Different From Other Consulting Models
The Principal Consultant (Industry) doesn’t deliver slide decks. You deliver transformation—using tools that connect strategy to operations with precision.
You’ll operate using:
ICMG’s Stage 2–7 Problem Analysis Framework
Steps 1–13 Strategy Execution Model
Industry-specific Enterprise Anatomy views that allow you to guide clients from goals to systems to implementation
Most consultants stop at abstraction. You’ll go deeper, tie decisions to systems, and create one-page enterprise models clients can run for years.
4. Multi-Level Progression Within the Role
We recognize that industry leadership isn’t one-size-fits-all. So we’ve structured this role with progression levels:
Industry Principal – City LevelLead transformation engagements in your metro across your sector.
Industry Principal – Regional LevelExpand your consulting footprint across multiple cities and client networks.
Senior Industry PrincipalOperate nationally, lead cross-city strategy, mentor junior partners, and influence ICMG’s industry playbooks.
You can continue growing within the industry track—or transition into Consulting Partner, Industry Managing Partner, or even City Business Partner.

It will be led by structured industry leaders—people who know the business and how to engineer its anatomy.
If you’ve reached the limits of solo consulting or executive advisory…If you’re ready to own transformation, not just talk about it…Then it’s time to step into a role designed for the next era of consulting.
