- 16. Innovation is increasing due to increased competition in the market. But lower margins and higher utilisation mean there is less time and money for it. This is causing increased levels of co-innovation, especially with clients. This creates local rather than big-name innovations. But raises issues around economies of scale and intellectual property.

- Client’s aren’t happy
- The key challenge that analysts have focused on for the last 18 months has been the decline in consulting revenues. If one compares the period 1998 – 2008, where there was a fourfold rise in revenues, with the next couple of years, this is an obvious issue.
- However, the industry is also facing more long standing problems and it is these that we focused on in our research. I will now highlight four of these.
- Sources within IBM
- OK. In pair I’d like you to come up with two top reasons clients use consultants……[Discussion]
- Pressures on innovative practice.
