The Insights Review is a time-saving resource for executives and consultants wishing to stay abreast of the latest insights across the world of financial services.
A message from the editor
My theme this month is granularizing your consulting spend. We have seen far too many clients spend the vast bulk of their consulting budget on a single, big-swinging project only to see it not achieve its objectives. At ICG, we have seen how chunking down change and investment in research, learning, analysis, and solution development in smaller bite-sized chunks can deliver so much more for your money as you learn as you go. At ICG, we successfully support projects from half-day workshops through to multi-year transformations and have a full menu of custom research and canned knowledge products and services starting from just $10K. If you want to learn more, contact your preferred ICG consultant, your local ICG HUB – or otherwise, one of our global expert reviewers featured in this month’s Insights Review. As we are still smack bang in the middle of the Northern Hemisphere summer holidays, there are slim pickings once again. One insight that stands out is reviewed by one of our newest team members Marco Ciobo, Global Practice leader for Technology Transformation. Congratulations to Marco ([email protected]) and the team from AT Kearney.
