Change is accelerating. The Opportunities are for the taking!
In this candid episode, co-founders Jonathan and Rob reflect on the last 6 months. They share insights into how their expectations of a fast-paced, disruptive professional services sector have played out — and how reality has surprised them. From witnessing unexpected resistance to change within the industry to the challenges and opportunities presented by technology, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at the road thus far.
They discuss some of the matters, projects and trends that will interest anyone involved in the sector, including:
- The rise in merger activity and the role of peer pressure in driving industry consolidation.
- The pitfalls of growth for growth's sake versus the true need for innovation and efficiency.
- The increasing tension between traditional business models and the demand for human and technological transformation.
- The evolving expectations of both clients and employees, particularly in the post-pandemic landscape.
They also discuss the exciting prospects that lie ahead, including a potential "new golden age" for services, and how smaller and mid-tier firms could leverage new technologies to compete on a larger scale.
