Episode 95: Hybrid Operations: How to sustain growth in 2022

Recently we took part in a webinar series exploring how your consultancy can thrive in a hybrid world. This episode of Climb In Consulting is the first of that three-part series. Each episode will step away from our usual interview format, bringing together our regular host, Nick, and industry experts Rob Garner of Garwood Solutions and Deri Hughes of Explore Consulting. They’ll use their expertise to discuss the three issues that are causing consulting firms the most pain right now – Operations, Recruitment and Marketing. Across the series they explore the challenges and opportunities that are emerging. And answer some perceptive questions from the audience. To kick off, Rob leads a discussion about how your consultancy can continue to growing in 2022. How we live and work has shifted dramatically since the beginning of the pandemic and many of those changes are here to stay. A vital element of success is making sure your operations are fit for this altered economic landscape. During this episode we’ll dig into how the past two years have accelerated change for your clients and what this means for your consultancy and the services it provides. We’ll cover key themes, including: • How the pandemic has shifted the operational paradigm and what your consultancy needs to do to respond. • What the fundamentals of consultancy growth are in a hybrid world. • And how you can lay the foundations that will sustain growth over the coming years. With decades of experience building and advising consultancies like yours, Rob will share the real-world insights you need to navigate your firm through this time. We think it’s a conversation you’ll want to hear so please do take a moment to listen.

Om Podcasten

As a management consultant myself I’ve always been lucky to have mentors who have guided me through my career. When I was in house I regularly had quality time with Senior Partners that helped me rapidly accelerate my career and has continued to help since I’ve gone out on my own. While I had this great resource and knowledge bank to draw on I know many friends in Consulting aren’t as lucky with some only speaking with senior partners on a monthly or quarterly basis. That’s why I created this podcast. I wanted to help people like you who want to accelerate their careers in consulting by interviewing leaders in the field to share the advice, tips and strategies that they used to get to the top so that you can to so that you can too. In each Episode I’ll be interviewing a senior figure in the industry so that you can learn from them. We’ll be going deep in to their background, how they succeeded and what their advice would be for you.
