Partnering and Worksharing Large consulting firms with a large geographic presence are able to offer standardized services to large, equally disperse, clients. Smaller firms now can do likewise using Internet technologies. They can create new alliances with complimentary service providers wherever they may find them and go after contracts that they might not have considered in the past because of prohibitive travel costs or time constraints. For example, small firms that hold the licensed rights to a specific methodology for a specific geographic region can link up virtually with each other to approach larger clients that are geographically disperse but require a standardized approach. To save on travel costs, they can use webcasting and conferencing technologies to meet virtually.
Management consultants are typically well educated and technology friendly.
Firms of all sizes are under competitive pressures like never before and are adapting to increase their value proposition to clients. Consultants of all sizes are using technological advances to promote themselves better and have faster, more valuable communications with clients.
