The market
The Management Consulting industry has grown weakly over the past five years. Poor demand
from downstream markets constrained industry revenue growth, with financial services and
resources firms cutting spending on management consultants due to economic uncertainty and
falling commodity prices.
However, businesses using management consultants to introduce new business processes and
enhance operating efficiencies have partly offset this trend. Industry operators have also
increasingly incorporated analytics into their services, which offer clients greater understanding of
their business and clients. Demand for services backed by analytics is expected to contribute to
growth of 3.8% in 2015-16.
Research also shows that there is a need for workers to have strong leadership and management
skills to support collaborative management, managing teams from a distance, empowering others
and business acumen. Thus the demand for leadership consultancy services is still strong.
