On the global pandemic scene, everything is changing very fast. For companies, threats and opportunities appear every day and the management consulting sectors are being provoked by various trends, such as emerging technologies. And the trend is that with these changes caused in work and society by the COVID-19 crisis, the disruptive transformation of the consulting sector will tend to accelerate. Remote work, the need for contingency plans and lean budgets are some of the trends impacting the sector.
The consulting sector has already been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in several ways. Starting with the professionals' own regular travel routine. But like any other crisis, it's also an opportunity. Consultants are already beginning to be labeled as strategic, as the uncertainty triggered by the pandemic reinforced the need, now more than ever, for strategic thinking. In other words, there is a strong tendency for companies to prioritize contingency planning, scenarios, and business strategy.
The rapid adoption of remote work that occurred during the pandemic will persist. As a result, the tendency of companies will be to seek consultants with delivery models aimed at the digital world. Since remote work highlights gaps in their own work processes, clients will require that work methodologies and processes be delivered remotely through digital technology. On the other hand, a challenge involving how to digitize a robust and collaborative business strategy process for an executive team? In this context, digital delivery must go far beyond video conferencing tools, for example. The consultancy differential will be in the creation of offers based on emerging technologies, such as code-free software and artificial intelligence, for the creation of new digital methodologies that transform clients' fundamental work processes.
In the traditional consulting model, projects are sold by the most experienced professionals, but delivered by junior consultants. With the post-pandemic trend of clients expecting digital delivery, consultants who create scalable and repeatable best practice processes, delivering value far beyond billable hours, will be the differentiator in the market.
The COVID-19 pandemic also brought job opportunities in restructuring and cost-cutting programs. Many opportunities also arise in the context of mergers and acquisitions. E-commerce is also being boosted and companies are looking for consultants to examine and reorganize their supply chains. An increasing number of companies are questioning how to deal with the economic consequences of the pandemic and seeking expert advisors to help.
