Wanted:AnewConsulting

John Sutherland needs your help. John is the founder and CEO of a midsized global
consulting firm that focuses on advising companies on strategy and organizational
issues. He is looking for a fresh, outside perspective on his company because he
believes that his business needs to bere-envisioned.
John builthis company over two decades and now employs 210 people worldwide.
The focus of his consultancy is helping executives develop effectivestrategies,improve
theirstrategic management,and realigntheirorganizations. He competesdirectly
with McKinsey, Bain, and Roland Berger. One problem he faces is being smaller than
his top-tier competitors, yet much larger than the typical niche-focused strategy con-
sultancy. But John is not preoccupied with this issue, since his company is still doing
reasonably well. What reallytroubles him is thestrategic consulting profession’s poor
reputation in the marketplace, and growing client perception that the prevalenthourly
and project-based billing model is outdated.Though his own firm’s reputationremains
good, he has heard from several clients thattheythinkconsultants overcharge,under-
deliver, and show littlegenuinecommitmenttoclientprojects.
Such comments alarm John, because he
believes his industry employs some of the brightest
minds in business. After much thought, he has con-
cluded that this reputation results from an outdated
business model, and he now wants to transform his
own company’s approach. John aims to make hourly
and project billing a thing of the past, but isn’t quite
sure how to doso.
Help John by providinghim with some fresh per-
spectiveson innovativeconsulting business models.
