The untapped market of startup consulting

The startup ecosystem is not only about hiring skilled professionals and marketing those skills in front of the world; it requires a lot more than that. New or old, all ventures require a path in the right direction. They need proper guidance, growth-strategies, competitive analysis to operations management, financial planning, and human resources.

Thus, this marks the need for the business consulting market. However, with the burgeoning startup ecosystem, such business consultancies are booming. But, the bitter truth of the current market scenario is that these consultancies are getting way behind catching up on the new realities and somehow failing to keep up with the clients. 

Not only the traditional or small scale consultancies, but also the highly profitable sectors such as Boston Consulting Group, Bain & Company, and McKinsey & Company, are utilizing the traditional methodologies, models, and offerings to cater to client needs. However, this may not be good long term planning, and at some point, they have to transform. 

So, countering such challenges and establishing the new customized programs is the need of the hour if one wishes to stand at a solid-rock position in the current market scenario. Apart from transfiguring the corporate strategies, one needs to overcome several other challenges that hinder business expansion and legitimate profits.  

Learn about the common challenges that serve the purpose of being shortfalls in consultancies and their process of growth.

Labor-intensive services

Management consultancies highly depend on human resources for an array of activities, including research, process definition, analysis, process management, strategizing, and facilitation. 

However, this results in limiting the consultancy capabilities and restricts them from being scalable, unlike those who have an automated process. As human intervention and dependency increases, the prices also shoot up.

Slow-paced processes

With the aggressive transformation of the market needs, the conventional ways of building, processing, and delivering the insights of the competition analysis, and functional analysis tend to become outdated,and less effective. 

Due to the slow-paced processes, the consultancy automatically loses its relevance, and its market value tends to decline as well. The new emerging trends and rapidly evolving market give rise to unforeseen disruptors that abrupt the consultancies’ working process time and again.

Knowledge commoditization

With the emerging trends, management consultancies lost their scope over the “Knowledge Capital” that had been their competitive advantage over the past few decades. The force of the internet, upcoming tools, models, and several templates that were earlier the trading secrets of consultancies have become omnipresent. 

They have led to knowledge-democratization, making it easily available and a free commodity for anyone and everyone. 

Hence, as the access to management knowledge and information tends to become easy and seamless, the advantages that came up with it for the management consultancy started diminishing.

Real-time monitoring

Monitoring and analyzing the current market scenario can never take the back seat while driving towards excellence and financial success. Real-time monitoring is imperative to remain updated in this ever-evolving market trend and the startup ecosystem. Gaining insights and keeping a tap on the perspectives of the market helps to uncover several impeccable opportunities. 

Whereas in the case you don’t know what is happening in the business and what trends people are inclined towards, then you are just shortening your window of opportunities. Real-time monitoring plays a crucial role in gathering and delivering the right insights to clients.

Technology-driven scale

Embracing the modern technology systems for performing and automating the critical tasks of research, process definition, analysis, strategizing, process management, and facilitation can leverage the consultancies by unlocking the scope of scalability and returning the relevance lost earlier. 

Inclining towards becoming technology-driven, the management consultancies can thus elevate the value they create and deliver.

Deep intelligence

With everything evolving, change is the only constant that every industry lives by to remain ahead in this rat race. Said that old forms of ‘knowledge capital’ got replaced with the new avenues for enabling improvised ways of information-gathering and processing. 

Yes, we are talking about efficient machine learning and big data systems that were a game-changer in creating radical insights that were way more impactful than conventional methods in the business consulting industry. 

Those management consultancies still having the audacity of being ignorant of these new intelligence-systems are digging the pitfalls for themselves. It is leveraging their peers who are utilizing it wisely and giving them high-chance to steal their business
