Consulting Services
Excellent consulting is a constant driver of innovation and progress. Leaders who shape the future lead into the future with transformative change.
Challenges in the Consulting Service
Consulting firms, including strategy, legal, tax and audit firms, are actively modernizing their offerings as well as their internal processes and organizational structures.
More about the challenges in the Consulting Service
Technological expertise: Artificial intelligence and machine learning are increasingly being used to solve complex problems and optimize processes. The share of total revenue generated by digital solutions, apps and cloud-based applications provided to customers is continuously increasing. In view of this growing importance, it is essential for consulting firms to develop and deploy technology solutions. This also includes the ability to drive technological developments and trends.
Adaptability: Given the rapid pace of change in technology and the business environment, it is important that constancies remain adaptable and can respond quickly to change. This applies both to the services offered and to the internal structure and culture of the company. As part of this transformation, partnerships with technology companies, start-ups and other industries are becoming increasingly important. These can broaden the range of services offered by consulting firms and lead to further innovation.
Cyber security and data protection: As the use of digital technologies increases, so do the risks in the areas of cyber security and data protection. Consulting firms must ensure that they have robust security protocols in place and can advise their clients on data protection and cybersecurity issues.
Regulation: In the area of legal, tax and auditing services in particular, regulation has gained further momentum. But also in strategy and technology consulting the local conditions and legislation in various countries that need to be taken into account have changed significantly in the context of geopolitical ambitions.
Personnel development and retention: High fluctuation rates and a growing shortage of talent are putting pressure on industries. They must compete for talent with their customers and with BigTech companies. It is important to differentiate your employer value proposition from the competition and embed it in the organisation. Diversity is a key selection criterion for many talented individuals, and potential employers must credibly demonstrate that they have established diversity-friendly working models and embedded them in their corporate culture.
Need for Action for Leaders
Leaders are required to advise their customers in the face of a previously unknown simultaneity of complexity and pressure to innovate, technological development and uncertainty, and to implement the same advances in innovation and design in the world of work internally.
More on the need for action by leaders
In this new context, different leadership competences than in the past are crucial. Decision-making strength and willingness to innovate are coming more to the fore. The development of a learning but also a complementary organization that itself builds comprehensive competences in the new technologies and can serve new business models is crucial. A high degree of networking intelligence is required to be able to advise customers across organizations.
