The need for operational efficiency, compliance with regulations, and technological advancements are driving the demand for consulting services. To adapt to changing customer requirements and advancing technology, businesses are re-inventing business models for which they require the skill and expertise of consultants. On the other hand, the freelance consulting industry and in-house consulting groups are posing threat to the traditional consulting business model. The tools, templates, and models of consultants regarded as intellectual capital can no longer be kept a secret in the internet age and the democratization of knowledge is challenging the consulting industry.
New business models, such as crowdsourcing and network-based consulting, are evolving in the industry, which can be disruptive in nature. Crowdsourcing is a rapid way of obtaining a different range of perspectives for a given set of issues and some of the consulting firms have already initiated crowd-sourcing efforts as part of their consulting portfolio. Pricing and flexibility offered by independent/freelance consultants have led to the rapid expansion of the freelance consulting segment. Clients are transitioning from traditional consulting to more collaborative arrangements in which clients can leverage multiple consultancies to offer comprehensive services.
The research methodology adopted for the report included:
