Most-wanted consultants right now?

Is there any kind of trend in the consulting industry? Are there actually certain types of consultants who are most sought-after? Like IT-Consultants for example? Happy to get any insights!

Cheers!

Hello there,

As others has suggested, the hottest topic would be digital, encompassing the following areas:

  • Blockchain
  • Industry 4.0
  • Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning
  • Advanced Analytics
  • Big Data
  • Data Science / Statistics
  • Digital Transformation
  • Agile Organization
  • Digital Marketing

Also useful if you have sector-specific skillsets such as:

  • Precision Agriculture / Aquaculture
  • Predictive Maintenance
  • Crytocurrencies / Blockchain-based FinTech

Hope it helps.

Kind regards,
Nathan

Hello,

The actual trend is to be more and more specialized also as "generalist consultants". The most wanted are digital profiles and data analysts.

Best,
Luca

Hello!

Digital and Data Anlytics are very hot topics atm, and before I left they were hiring almost weekly these profiles to staff projects asap. 

You can have a look at the McK website in those 2 practices and see precisely what they are looking for. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers, 

Clara
