The near past of consulting
How consulting will change drastically in the next five years
We all know this statement...
Let’s add one...
The world’s most succesful consulting company…
has no employees!
Instead: it consists of a network of freelancers sharing data and expertise
When two interesting trends meet...
magic happens!
Trend # 1
Freelancers take over
Number of freelancers skyrockets
and they work for half the costs (or less)
What they lacked? (until now)
1. Fire power (too small to fix big problems)
2. Access to (substantial amounts of) data
Which brings us to trend # 2
Continious data
What the present looks like:
Client has a problem and calls a consultant...
consultant assesses the situation (deskresearch) and
proposes a solution.
What the near future looks like:
Consultant has real time access to client data...
When fluctuations in the data indicate a potential problem, the consultant takes immediate action.
‘Continious consulting’ is born
Back to the freelancers
Each dot stands for a freelancer with access to a
small part of client data
Each white dot stands for a freelancer sharing client
data with other freelancers*
*With consent of the client of course...
