CB Insights Describes the Disruption of Management Consulting


  • Nimble start-ups are engaging in “disruptive innovation,” challenging the traditional model of management consulting.

  • Management consulting consists of four functions:

    • Information (data analysis)

    • Expertise

    • Insight

    • Execution (direction for improved outcomes)

  • Consulting companies appear vulnerable to disruption from aggressive new companies using advanced technology.

  • Disruption vulnerabilities for management consulting firms are derived from:

    • Over-reliance on manual data compilation and review

    • High margins based on time-billing rather than outcome

    • Information asymmetry (rapid obsolescence of “insider” information)

  • New digital platforms and applications allow user companies to independently analyze business organizations, identify ineffective strategies, and optimize performance without the need to rely on outside consultants.
