The management consulting industry exists for many years now. However, since
the business environment becomes more complex and changes faster with every
new innovation, the request for consulting services is higher than ever. After the
worldwide economy recovered from the crisis, the turnover trend is highly
positive. The turnover of he industry was US$ 240 billion In 2015, having grown
over 6,6% in comparison with 2014.
Besides the good climate in the market, there are some major changes that will
critically challenge the market participants. The most important and most critical
factor is digitalization. Especially in the mechanical and plant industry sector, but
also in the automotive and chemical industry will the topics of digitalisation and
industry 4.0 significantly gain in importance. By now, 81% of all companies find it
important to use new technologies to stay competitive. In order to stay
competitive, also consultancies have to invest into those technologies to be able
to offer the best service to their clients.
It is significantly clear, that the traditional consulting model will need to be
adopted as there are many legal changes in Germany, which are effecting
especially the business of the big Consulting agencies in Germany. Their current
models are very dependent on their traditional operation of auditing, which will
change through many factors in the future.
Digitalization will be a critical factor for all he different consulting sectors, as
clients increasingly demand easy standard solutions to control and measure the
success of their business, and get easy and quick access to information. This
significant trend currently leads and will also in the future lead to many
transactions within the segment of technology consulting to stay competitive in
the future.
In general, a strong trend towards a market consolidation is recognizable that
will even further increase through the other major trends above.

Challenges and opportunities in the consulting industry
Summary and conclusion
▪ The overall trend in the industry changes from the “traditional” consulting approach that companies seek for advice from different service providers, to a rather diversified
level of expectation to get advice from advisor from many different perspectives. Therefore consulting companies have to be able to provide a wrap-up service to their
clients in order to meet their individual needs.
▪ New revenue streams through design, customization and implementation of “self-service” software, that enables clients to fulfill Organizational Change Management
(OCM) projects by providing education, diagnostics, planning templates, reporting tools, and social learning functionality
▪ Implementation of digital tools will enable consultancies to analyze a clients situation much faster and therefore can concentrate more on the problem itself, rather than
spending a lot of time analyzing it
▪ High price transparency will set pressure on big consulting firms as clients have more insights about what others offer in the market. As many clients become more cost
averse for consulting advice, clients will more and more compare prices and services
▪ New legislation in the Audit sector, forces traditional Auditors to overthink their business model, as the law requires clients to change their Auditor after maximum 20
years. This will force traditional Auditors to introduce new sources of income
Expected growth 2017-2020 in the consulting industry
▪ Expected growth of market between 2017 and 2020 of 13% to a global market
volume of $296 billion.
▪ Highest expected growth rates in Financial Advisory (15%), and Operations
Consulting (14%) but also in technology consulting (8%).
▪ In Financial Advisory it is expected that a switch between the traditional Audit
services to more specific financial advisory will occur. Clients will hire former
auditors for advice in other financial aspects.
▪ Operations consulting is expected to represent 30% of the total market volume
by 2020.
▪ In the near future, Strategy Consulting will gain growing importance in the
Consulting market accounting for a volume of US$ 35 billion until 2020. It is very
likely that strategy consulting always depends on the over all economic growth
▪ Due to technological megatrends like Digitalization, Clouds, Robotics, Analytics
and Internet of Things, Technology consulting will account for US$ 53 billion
market volume until 2020.

Importance of the different consulting segments by region
11
▪ A comparison of the different European consulting markets shows that there
is considerable variation in segments and offerings between regions
▪ Financial Advisory plays a much larger role in the UK (32%), with its large
financial sector, than, for example, in the German speaking countries (24%)
where a number of services offered by financial consultants in the UK are
performed by lawyers and accountants
▪ HR Consulting in the UK and Ireland accounts for 12% of the consultancy
market, compared to the Southern European market with 8%
▪ This is due to the fact, that less multinational companies are headquartered
in southern Europe, where Human Resources Consulting is still emerging,
relative to Northern Europe
▪ The market structure of the Benelux region is comparable to that of France
and the DACH

General trends
▪ Step towards digitalization
▪ Increasing demand for simple standard solutions force consultancies to
change their business model.
Mid-size consultancies
▪ Digitally unexperienced classic service consultancies do not have the
knowledge and capability to generate digital inhouse solutions that
customers require
Big consultancies
▪ Experienced senior consulting staff leaves the consulting sector to work in
the organization of their former clients. As they know the consulting
business very well, also the expectations towards the outcomes increases,
which challenges the consultancies in terms of quality
▪ Transformation of the classic very specified single-edged consulting business
model towards a full-range service business model
General trends
▪ War for talents - Young associates more and more tend to rather seek jobs
with a good “work-life” balance instead of the typical “consultant-life”
▪ Outcome based compensation – new compensation models for consultants
that are based on the outcome and success of a project, rather than on
hourly or man-day basis
▪ Price transparency – High price transparency through online platforms like
glasshouse, and many consultants changing into the industrial sectors
knowing the compensation schemes
▪ Split up of project awards – Customers tend to split up projects and give the
parts to several specialists in the certain fields rather than giving the whole
project to one allrounder
Big consultancies
▪ Increasing number of platforms – Online platforms where free-lancing
consultants offer services. Those free-lancing consultants are very often
highly educated and skilled and can offer the job much cheaper. Using these
platforms, customers can create and choose their own specialized teams of
consultants to their specific needs.
▪ New legislation in Germany – New legislation that requires stock exchange
listed companies to change their auditors after a maximum of 20 years.
Many traditional auditors have this service as their core service and have to
rethink their business model
▪ Consultancies have to change their business models and add new income
streams to be independent of their classic business as auditors
 former auditors work as advisors as they know all the strength and
weaknesses of their client
Internal challenges External challenges
Challenges for consultancies

General trends
▪ Due to increasing level of complexity of the modern business models. Clients
ask for more specifically specialized services
Mid-size consultancies
▪ High level of specialization helps consulting firms to match specific needs,
and helps to address issues specific to a given industry, role, or region
Small consultancies and freelancers
▪ Many small and highly specialized service and consulting boutiques in
Germany: Clients expect them to be less focused on the mainstream
problems, and therefore be able to recognize different potentials
▪ Overall perception, that small and highly specialized service and consulting
boutiques and agencies can come up with less mainstream solutions which
better fit the special needs of clients
General trends
▪ Digitalization more and more changes the traditional business models of any
industry, including the consulting industry
▪ Ongoing change of clients requirements through brand new topics like
industry 4.0 and internet of things implementation. Especially mechanical
and plant industry sectors increasingly demand digital consulting services
▪ The stepwise digital change in many supply chains brings questions and
demand towards services, that only digitalized consultancies can solve
▪ Beside the producing industries, especially in banking and insurance sectors,
consultancies have to prepare for an increasing demand for technologies and
solutions that enable customers to access their accounts from anywhere
▪ 2 out of 3 consultants claim that Business Consulting without IT consulting is
impossible in the future
Big consultancies
▪ Ability to provide digital standard solutions in times of low budgets for IT
solutions, will be critical to cover the increasing client demand for those
solutions
▪ Increasing demand for support in the transformation to digital-oriented
business models
Mid-size consultancies
▪ Growing importance of software for analyses and computing big data as this
enables consultants to quickly analyse clients data and sooner start working
on solutions. At the same time, consultancies stay competitive as they
outperform competitors with more man-hours
Small consultancies and freelancers
▪ Commoditization of traditional services will force consultancies to re-think
their business models that currently offers the traditional service towards
the provision of standardized software solutions.
Digitalization of the business world Specialization of consulting firms
Conclusion and best practice examples
Trends and growth drivers – Management consulting
Source: feaco, consultancy.uk,Statista, Handelsblatt; Finance Magazin
▪ To prepare for the current ,and in the near future upcoming challenges,
consultancies have to gain knowledge and expertise in digital topics
▪ In order to gain the needed knowledge and expertise, big consultancies will
acquire highly specialized mid-size, and small consultancies
▪ Consultancies with high specialization and clear focus on their specific field
are well prepared for the market environment. Furthermore, those
companies can be very attractive targets for bigger consultancies

  • 3. 3 The management consulting industry exists for many years now. However, since the business environment becomes more complex and changes faster with every new innovation, the request for consulting services is higher than ever. After the worldwide economy recovered from the crisis, the turnover trend is highly positive. The turnover of he industry was US$ 240 billion In 2015, having grown over 6,6% in comparison with 2014. Besides the good climate in the market, there are some major changes that will critically challenge the market participants. The most important and most critical factor is digitalization. Especially in the mechanical and plant industry sector, but also in the automotive and chemical industry will the topics of digitalisation and industry 4.0 significantly gain in importance. By now, 81% of all companies find it important to use new technologies to stay competitive. In order to stay competitive, also consultancies have to invest into those technologies to be able to offer the best service to their clients. It is significantly clear, that the traditional consulting model will need to be adopted as there are many legal changes in Germany, which are effecting especially the business of the big Consulting agencies in Germany. Their current models are very dependent on their traditional operation of auditing, which will change through many factors in the future. Digitalization will be a critical factor for all he different consulting sectors, as clients increasingly demand easy standard solutions to control and measure the success of their business, and get easy and quick access to information. This significant trend currently leads and will also in the future lead to many transactions within the segment of technology consulting to stay competitive in the future. In general, a strong trend towards a market consolidation is recognizable that will even further increase through the other major trends above.

  • 4. 4 Challenges and opportunities in the consulting industry Summary and conclusion ▪ The overall trend in the industry changes from the “traditional” consulting approach that companies seek for advice from different service providers, to a rather diversified level of expectation to get advice from advisor from many different perspectives. Therefore consulting companies have to be able to provide a wrap-up service to their clients in order to meet their individual needs. ▪ New revenue streams through design, customization and implementation of “self-service” software, that enables clients to fulfill Organizational Change Management (OCM) projects by providing education, diagnostics, planning templates, reporting tools, and social learning functionality ▪ Implementation of digital tools will enable consultancies to analyze a clients situation much faster and therefore can concentrate more on the problem itself, rather than spending a lot of time analyzing it ▪ High price transparency will set pressure on big consulting firms as clients have more insights about what others offer in the market. As many clients become more cost averse for consulting advice, clients will more and more compare prices and services ▪ New legislation in the Audit sector, forces traditional Auditors to overthink their business model, as the law requires clients to change their Auditor after maximum 20 years. This will force traditional Auditors to introduce new sources of income Expected growth 2017-2020 in the consulting industry ▪ Expected growth of market between 2017 and 2020 of 13% to a global market volume of $296 billion. ▪ Highest expected growth rates in Financial Advisory (15%), and Operations Consulting (14%) but also in technology consulting (8%). ▪ In Financial Advisory it is expected that a switch between the traditional Audit services to more specific financial advisory will occur. Clients will hire former auditors for advice in other financial aspects. ▪ Operations consulting is expected to represent 30% of the total market volume by 2020. ▪ In the near future, Strategy Consulting will gain growing importance in the Consulting market accounting for a volume of US$ 35 billion until 2020. It is very likely that strategy consulting always depends on the over all economic growth ▪ Due to technological megatrends like Digitalization, Clouds, Robotics, Analytics and Internet of Things, Technology consulting will account for US$ 53 billion market volume until 2020.
