The management consultant market

**– the same priorities meeting with new challenges **

Even with new challenges like remote working forcing consulting firms to rapidly adapt to ensure both fruitful and profitable client relationships (and keep both your people and your clients satisfied and engaged), we understand that your main priorities lie in the accelerating trends that have been with us since long before the pandemic.

Increasing agility: With more competitors in the market than ever before, your firm needs to be able to respond to changing circumstances fast to launch new services, meet client expectations, improve profitability, and fully embrace new ways of working as you flex to adapt to changing client requirements and regulations.

Increasing visibility: To be agile, a firm needs a single source of easily-accessible real-time financial and resource data to track billing, keep reporting simple, and efficiently allocate fee-earner time in a way that maximizes both utilization and engagement and reduces duplication of effort – especially in complex projects like M&A transactions.

Decreasing admin overhead: With many firms still managing operations with a series of disjointed systems and spreadsheets, billable time is being lost – both to leakage and admin time – and project profitability suffers.

Finding and attracting the best talent: You need the best people, and you need them to be able to do their best work. This means maintaining a working environment that can attract the best people to your business – and the tools to help you identify what training and perks are needed to retain them.

We also understand that to achieve these four goals, firms need a unified, scalable cloud operational platform. One that frees up everyone in your teams for the whole project life cycle in both front and back office to do their work – rather than simply manage it.

Watch how we can help you tackle project complexity that comes with increased remote working, whilst at the same time build and maintain solid client relationships.
