Consulting Market Development Forecasts in 2014
Alexander Reshetov
General Director of FPG ARCOM
Consulting companies will need to rely not only on efficiency and productivity, but also on time to attract clients, since for many customers this is more relevant than costs. Leadership will remain with IT consulting, and in connection with the rise in demand for the services of transformation of reporting according to international standards, clients will turn to financial consulting.
Boris Fedosimov
General Director of the Holding "People of Dela"
The market as a whole shows a trend towards slower growth. Its activation can only be associated with an increase in demand for new technologies in the field of IT, the creation of new state programs and state regulation in the field of audit and consulting. Now, in fact, there is an exchange of experience between clients, analysis of completed projects, selection of new consulting technologies based on successful implementation by competitors or even in related areas.
Marina Gulyaeva
General Director of the Siberian office of the Intalev Group of Companies
Solutions that take into account industry specifics of business will be in demand. In this case, a good competitive advantage in the market will be the competencies of an implementer with experience in various industries. Interest will remain in the automation of the financial management system (budgeting, management accounting and treasury), as well as in electronic document management systems. Perhaps the demand for automation of production planning and accounting will increase, but only among those customers who have already implemented classical accounting systems. Successful manufacturing companies will invest in efficient production management.
Dara Razzhivina
Director of the representative office "Development of business systems" in Novosibirsk
The demand for strategic consulting is formed mainly by government agencies. The development of the situation in this segment will depend on what position the new administration takes in relation to development projects. Otherwise, the demand for solutions that are maximally adapted to the characteristics of the customer will remain. For the successful implementation of consulting projects, a set of competencies will be in demand: legal, financial, information technology, marketing.

FORECASTS
Boris Fedosimov, General Director of the Holding "People of Dela"
Demand will increase in those segments of consulting that have suffered the most during the crisis: training, personnel, marketing, advertising. These are the most dynamic consulting segments in the medium term.
Mikhail Pyaskovsky, General Director of Infosoft Exhibition Center
Now clients need a transparent management system, clear business processes and effective control tools. In this regard, IT consulting projects will be in demand. Expected market growth in 2012 is 20-30%. Growth driver - managers who soberly assess the internal resources of the company, set ambitious goals and are ready to attract outside consultants to achieve them.
Dara Razzhivina, Director of the Business Systems Development Representative Officein Novosibirsk
The processes of managing both the state and business are becoming more complex and intellectually capacious. Therefore, any segment will be in demand in the near future, if it is confirmed by intellectual content and corresponds to the tasks facing business and government.
Larisa Ivanova, Director of Sakura Consulting
The consulting services market in Novosibirsk is stabilizing both in terms of capacity and needs. Consolidation of specializations of consulting companies will continue. Accordingly, the quality of services will grow, and, as a result, the price for them. At the intersection of customer needs, partnerships of consulting companies that do not directly compete in the services provided will begin to form.
The Vault website has released a ranking of the most prestigious consulting firms. It's a bit like the Oscars in the film industry, rankings are based on a survey of consultants who rate their peers and competitors. Vault conducted its study over six weeks, in March and April, and collected votes from 9,000 consultants from 65 US firms.
For the prestige of the rankings, consultants were not allowed to vote for their own firms, but were asked to rate only those consulting firms they were familiar with. The consulting company is rated on a scale from 1 (least prestigious) to 10. The rating has been compiled for 14 years in a row, and every year McKinsey comes out on top. Indeed, the top four places are unchanged from last year: McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group, Bain and Deloitte Consulting.
Fifth place this year has shifted. In 2014, Booz & Company was at the site, but last spring, PricewaterhouseCoopers bought it and gave it the unfortunate name "Strategy&" Suddenly the firm lost its name, even though Booz's history was confusing even before the acquisition. Booz & Company was founded in 1914 and grew into the government consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton (where Edward Snowden worked under contract to the NSA before he leaked classified data). Booz & Company, a corporate business consulting company, spun off in 2008 and was acquired by Carlyle Group in 2008. Are you confused yet? In fifth place this year: Booz Allen Hamilton, up from sixth last year. Strategy& dropped to 19th place.
Why is prestige so important in the consulting business? For job seekers who send their resumes to McKinsey or Boston Consulting, this can open up new opportunities, it's like The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal for a journalist. Also, people just care about prestige. For many people, it defines their career. They want to work for the most prestigious consulting firms.
The ranking of consulting companies is dominated by huge firms with several thousand employees and several offices. Exception: Bridgespan Group, which is located in Boston's Copley Place. The company has 158 employees and focuses on the non-profit sector. She spun off from Bain in 1999 but retained her ties to the firm. Bain consultants can take time off work from six to 12 months at Bridgespan.
