Trends and Challenges of the Solutions Consulting Industry In 2020
Be it technology or management, transition is imminent in every industry. Consulting is one such industry that must be well aware of the trends to come up in future and stay in the long run for at least 10 years. Consulting firms are platforms where services and processes meet innovation. They are the torchbearers that need to drive some impending challenges to continue the course upward. Another trend that is going to rock the consulting world is Disruption. It has just set its pace and is affecting every firm in the industry and most possibly will be the ‘Face of Change’ for consulting forever. If there is a lack of transparency in the processes involved, it becomes hard to ascertain the effectiveness of the firm during any phase of the project. This situation gives rise to a discrepancy in understanding the business models applied during the project execution and changes. Industries will never know if the same antiquated business models are being followed and capitalized on. Technology today is melting these barriers and bringing in very much transparency about the services and processes involved.
With the advent of higher speeds, rising deliverables, and cloud technology, the importance now will be on agility, analytics, business process redesign, and customer experience, transforming the entire fabric of consulting firms.
Disruption can be classified into 4 functions in Business or IT Solutions Consulting.
