TASK CONSULTING GROUP
Industry review:
Today's competitive business consulting marketplace requires a strategy that will ensure a consistent approach to offering a product or service in such a way that will outperform the current competition. However, if we methodically improve our marketing strategy, we should have a well-defined process for our day-to-day process implementation. It is of little value to have a strategy if you lack either the resources or the expertise to implement it.
The business consulting arena is a huge business that generated over a $125 billion in revenues in 2011 according to the U.S. Census Bureau. (U.S. Census Bureau, 2011) This is an indication of just how large and lucrative business consulting is in the U.S. and that there are a lot of consulting firms to compete with. With that we see from the Institute of Management Consultants that there are, “As of May 2007, nearly 500,000 management analysts work in the US, including those employed internally to private and public sector organizations and independent consultants” (IMC, 2007)
These are staggering numbers that give us a true scope of what is the business consulting sector. With nearly 500,000 consultants in the U.S. a consulting firm must find a true niche in order to compete with the sheer numbers of consultants that are employed in the private and public sectors. Finding your niche in the business consulting arena is a big key to whether your company will be successful and be around for years to come or whether you will be a flash in the pan. Statistics from Careers-in-business.com tell us this: “Today, technology planning, strategic services and enterprise consulting represent 35 percent, 20 percent and 15 percent roughly of the worldwide consulting spending.” (Careers-in-business.com, 2009) From this we can deduce that a business consulting group has to put its focus where there is a need. You cannot simply state that you are going to focus in only one area if that is an area that is saturated with business consults and there is therefore no growth potential. To survive in this industry you must try and become a one-of-a-kind type of consultant that brings something to the table that is not available from every other business consulting group in the sector.
TASK CONSULTING GROUP is driven by a process of changing an organization’s focus on their typical business methods and analyzing the results in accordance with our consulting group.
