Kirk Fisher of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, earned a master’s in business administration and finance from Louisiana State University before starting his career in business management and consulting. Currently the COO of Plexos Group, a management consulting firm, Kirk Fisher keeps up with the trends in consulting to ensure success for his company.
The practice of management and business consulting has been around a long time, and as the world changes, so do the ways consulting firms operate. The most noticeable trend is the continued move towards digitization and the internet, and this will not slow down at all in 2021. In addition, the industry will see a shift away from hourly rates as more of the job will require fewer man-hours as technology is implemented. The market for management and business consulting is also changing, and the gap between the two sectors continues to grow. A firm needs to decide whether they will go the low-cost, heavily commoditized route, or the high-priced specialty consulting route. Having a focus on one of these sectors is important, and it will be near impossible to do both. A noticeable shift to smaller firms and freelancers working on projects together is expected, as it can be extremely efficient and advantageous to all parties involved. This type of multi-sourcing allows smaller firms and individuals access to tools and technologies they may not have otherwise.
