Getting Laid Off From A T2 Consulting Firm... Now What?

Today I got a call from a Senior Partner (who was supposed to be my "mentor" but had never called me before) letting me know that I'm being transitioned out of the firm... Just last review cycle, I was considered an upper-third performer, and I had no idea that my fortunes would reverse so quickly... Now, without any leads or preparation, I've got two months to find a job. I'll spare you the details, but I definitely feel betrayed by my firm and am in a bit of shock, and we have to look forward. 

I've got a good resume, with CDDs, Growth Strategy, and Ops Excellence projects under my belt, but my network isn't the largest and I'm not sure how much good applying on LinkedIn would do me. Would appreciate any insights (or leads!) into how to navigate this process. 

Stats: T2 Firm (think Kearney, OW, EY-P, S&), 1.5 YoE, semi-target state UG.
