this market in 2020.

Looking beyond short-term challenges, clients see long-term opportunities 10 The desire to keep the best changes emerging from the crisis will reshape clients’ priorities in 2021 16 Clients will make more use of consulting support in 2021, but what they buy and how much they’re prepared to pay for it will change 20 We’ve identified five key actions US consulting firms should take in 2021, ranging from being able to lead with data and expertise to the importance of having a social purpose 229 Insights from consultants The US consulting market in 2021 The views of consulting leaders in the US.

Add in a hugely consequential November election that had some clients adopting a wait-and-see posture, and it’s little surprise that US consultants1 found themselves in rough waters. As a result of the very challenging year, consulting revenues in the US fell 12.5% in 2020, having grown 7.4% the previous year. Many of the worst blows consulting suffered happened in the earliest days of the pandemic hitting the US, when many clients put spending on hold as they dealt with the immediate impact of the virus and waited to see how long the pandemic would last and what the longer-term implications would be. While some elements of broader digitization and technology work continued—often with a focus on helping companies operate through a variety of lockdown scenarios—the vast majority of consulting work deemed non-essential was paused if not shuttered. By late summer, however, it was clear that COVID-19 was here to stay—at least for a while—and clients who figured they couldn’t wait around forever started to dip their toes back in the consulting waters.

As clients continue to improve and refine their operating models, they seek to push traditional boundaries, using advanced analytics and a deeper understanding of underlying costs and value drivers to move beyond tactical levers toward more innovative sourcing strategies and structural opportunities to improve organizational resilience to volatile external markets. Against this backdrop, leaders of sourcing strategy consulting possess several high-level commonalities.
