The Challenge Faced With Large Strategy Consulting Firms
10 to 2 Consulting was founded by Ann Kelly, an ex-big firm consultant who believed that the business model that drives the large strategy consulting firms is fundamentally flawed. And while this flaw seems to support the economics of big consulting, the model is neither in the best interests of the client nor the consultants in the firm.
Principals Selling to Executives
The economics of large consulting firms require experienced principals to be involved in selling services to the senior most executives in the organization. These principals bring vast experience and a long heritage of consulting tenure to business issues. This experience and consulting tenure leads to provocative and bold strategies the executives are seeking and results in a contracted engagement.
And then the engagement begins…
The client is flooded with early in career associates who work 80-hour weeks with billable rates that exceed the value that they offer. The client spends hours getting these inexperienced consultants up to speed on their business while the principal focuses his efforts on maintaining the executive relationship. And selling more. And those bold and provocative strategies are oftentimes left unimplemented.
