Currently, there are four main
types of consulting firms:
-
Large, diversified
organizations that offer a range of services, including information
technology consulting, in addition to a strategy consulting practice (e.g. Accenture, ABeam Consulting,
Capgemini, Cognizant, Deloitte, IBM, Logica, PA Consulting). Some very
large IT service providers have moved into consultancy as well and are also developing strategy practices
(e.g. Wipro, Tata Consultancy
Services, Infosys)
-
Medium-sized information
technology consultancies, that blend boutique style with some of the same services and technologies
bigger players offer their clients.
-
Management and strategic
consulting specialists that offer primarily Strategy Consulting and Business Intelligence Models to any
industries (e.g. Oliver Wyman,
Bain & Company,
Booz & Company,
McKinsey &
Company, Arthur D. Little and
The Boston Consulting
Group).
-
Boutique firms, often
quite small, which have focused areas of consulting expertise in specific industries, functional areas or
technologies. Most of the boutiques were founded by famous business theorists. Small firms with fewer
than 50 employees are often referred to as niche consultancies (e.g. Insight CP in the USA, iProCon Ltd.
in the UK, R2P GmbH in Germany, Six Sigma Center of Excellence - SSCX in Indonesia), who help keep prices
down and sometimes introduce new ideas emulated by larger competitors. If they have a unique concept and
market it successfully, they often grow out of this segment very fast or are bought by larger players
interested in their know-how.(e.g. Tecnova India
Pvt.Ltd.,Visnova, CPL Business Consultants)
