Kennedy Sees Consulting Market Returning to Pre-Recession Levels by 2012
Recovery Tempered by Clients' Cautious Growth Agenda

(firmenpresse) - PETERBOROUGH, NH -- (Marketwire) -- 12/20/11 -- Kennedy research finds that client spending in the global market for consulting is being driven by the priority of achieving growth, even amid concerns over a prospective "double-dip" recession. According to a new study from , "Global Consulting Marketplace 2011-2014," the rebound in consulting spend is attributable to certain industry sectors, particularly healthcare, thanks to a growing need to address the effects of increased regulations, risk management, and operational efficiency. Analysts forecast that similar compliance issues facing other sectors will drive worldwide consulting market growth throughout the forecast period.
"Looking sector by sector, we note that -- in addition to healthcare -- only two other industry sectors of ten sectors analyzed will outperform the overall consulting market through 2014," said Dan Daly, Vice President and Managing Director at Kennedy. "While the recent recovery in consulting spending was relatively broad-based, this more narrowly confined growth outlook warrants close watching."
The research reveals a surprisingly strong client emphasis on business transformation projects that span multiple consulting service lines, business functions, and client locations/regions. Broad-based client expansion into new markets by companies that have saturated developed markets with their products and services is seen as having spurred a remarkable portion of the profession's recent revenues.
"" details these and other trends impacting client demand for strategy, operations management, HR, IT, and financial consulting services. Comprehensive capabilities ratings and revenue rankings of leading global consulting providers have been compiled by Kennedy analysts. Among the firms profiled are Accenture, Alvarez & Marsal, Aon Corporation (including Aon Hewitt), A.T.
