- Blockchain
- Industry 4.0
- Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning
- Advanced Analytics

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

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,

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