CMC Briefing - Canada’s Management Consulting Industry Study

Ivey's ING Leadership Centre, The Exchange Tower, Amphitheatre One

The Canadian Association of Management Consultants (CMC-Canada) will present the results of a comprehensive study on the current state of the Canadian management consulting industry on Monday, January 30 in Toronto, Ontario. This report outlines the size of the industry, the split of revenue between private and public sector activities, the share of the market between large and small players, the range of billing rates, and highlights some of the key issues facing the industry.?

Challenges and Transformative Trends:  Several inter-related trends are shaping the future of management consulting in Canada - influencing structure, competition and profitability.  These are:

• The War for Talent (Aging Population and Talent Scarcity): This trend will impact both clients and firms as the demand for management services grows and the impact of the baby boom reaching retirement takes full effect. The battle to attract – and retain – the best people is underway and is becoming fierce.
• Attracting Talent for your Firm: Similar to the above, but focused on an audience of consulting professionals. Talent management is seen as a challenge associated with the current growth opportunity, but consulting firms must also address their own critical skill shortages as they develop their practice.
• Convergence: The changing boundaries of industries – this is one of the reasons why consultants will remain in demand. Industry expertise, short-term horsepower, and intellectual capital augmentation are all driving this trend.

 ***All attendees will receive a complimentary copy of the 2011 Industry Report
