The Consulting industry was already experiencing pressure to transform when business as usual took a dramatic last spring. Having weathered the stormy seas of 2020 and with a clear horizon still somewhere in the distance, it’s more important than ever that firms keep an eye on influential trends. Here’s a head start: Our new report, “The 2021 Consultants’ Guide,” covers four trend predictions from industry experts. Let’s take a quick look at one of those trends and how the right tools for consultants can help you map out agile strategies for your clients—and your own business.
The No. 1 trend in our report focuses on the shift to a remote work model. Last year, many organizations had to pivot quickly to work-from-home (WFH) scenarios to accommodate social distancing needed to slow the pandemic’s spread. The good news? The forced experiment—something that Corporate America had been testing with mixed results in recent years—was far more successful than expected. In fact, PWC conducted two surveys last year—one in the summer, the other at year’s end—and found that 83% of employers called the shift to remote work a success in December, a 10% increase from June’s results. But, with the prospect of making the virtual office a more permanent fixture is not without some roadblocks—and heading up that list is the need for more robust digital tools.
As a consultant, this trend impacts you on multiple fronts. While many companies may dial back on large-scale tech implementations—and the consultants that support them—due to budgetary constraints, there will still be opportunities for consultants who can provide guidance that empowers a work-from-home or hybrid WFH model. What types of solutions are needed?
Not a tech consultant? You still need to pay attention to this trend. After all, you need to optimize delivery of insights to your clients through digital tools as well.
