val mayer on the biggest change in the consulting field in the last 10 years:

"today, the intensity of market dynamics, the value chain profit shift, satisfying and challenging today's employee, and exceeding customer expectations require the ceo to focus his company's energy in the areas of their expertise; which requires the support of outside experts in his weaker areas. therefore, small to mid-size companies must draw upon the resources of strong, dedicated and talented consulting groups of senior professionals for their specialized needs."
