The first is client demand for business outcomes at speed. While not exclusive to change management, this force is focusing providers’ attention on how to execute change that achieves measurable impact and value, while building an organizational change capability. There are implications for each phase of the consulting process (discover-design-deliver) whether the client issue is specific to a discrete change challenge or an enterprise transformation. The second force is the increasing influence of social business models in organization design. As companies transition from vertically-integrated hierarchies to networked ecosystems, a social system for change becomes both relevant and critical.

  • The Nordic Consulting Market Grew by a Respectable, If Underwhelming, 3.2% in 2015
    EXTRACT CONSULTING MARKET PROGRAMME 2016 THE NORDICS CONSULTING MARKET IN 2016 Including market sizing data, growth rates, current market trends, and forecasts THE NORDICS CONSULTING MARKET IN 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Despite a challenging economic and political environment, the Nordic consulting market grew by a respectable, if underwhelming, 3.2% in 2015. 2015, though, was a year in which talking about the market as a homogenous whole was misleading: There were quite marked differences between the growth in each market, with Norway (1.7%) and Finland (1.9%) growing more slowly than Denmark (3.3%) and much more slowly than Sweden (4.9%). • There were differences, too, in terms of the conditions impacting each market. While Norway dealt with the impact of low oil prices, Finland continued to struggle from its exposure to Russia. Meanwhile in Sweden, although a buzzing start-up scene is having relatively little direct impact on the fortunes of consultants, it is acting as a local reminder for Swedish multinationals of the ever-growing threat of disruption, and that’s stirring many into transformative action. • There are, though, trends that unite these markets. Digital transformation is taking place everywhere, partly because of the opportunity it presents organisations to become more customer-centric and to do more with less, but also because of the threat of disruption. And consulting firms, no matter what part of the region they call home, are facing stark choices about the parts of the market in which they want to be present—and the questions those choices raise about their business model. • From a sector perspective, healthcare is where the highest levels of growth were to be found (8.6% in 2015).

Breaking down the traditional silo approach to procurement functions has led to better understanding of the value the function brings to the organization. Using procurement as a key lever in the effective execution of overall business strategy is more commonplace as the role of the CPO continues to expand. With that expansion, however, comes increased responsibility. To that end, procurement functions are increasingly expected to step up capability beyond the confines of the function itself. Thinking outside the box to improve client business through the procurement functions and supplier networks is gaining in popularity, and consultants continue to look beyond operating model design to deliver innovations that increase the function’s impact.
