I think this is part and parcel of a number of things:
1. The Firm's sheer size prevents it from having every study be an industry-shaping event
2. The business cycle seems to be more focused on consolidation and operations vs. innovation at the moment (although the trend is shifting)
3. (Gotta have 3) There continue to be a wide array of options for top MBAs and APDs outside of consulting
I only worry about 3. The Firm is not very good at proactive recruiting and I think we miss many good candidates because we don't play the same hardball as Bain/BCG/GE/MSFT/Google/etc.
BTW, I think the answer is not to change anything, but to me a bit more proactive when recruiting high potential candidates and to be open to the top 1-2% from non-traditional schools.

Another option is to consider more experienced hires / industry specialists and provide them options for "fast track."
