Stable growth is the key to success
Professional services firms are always under increasing pressure to deliver results that will have a significant impact on their clients’ businesses. Adding to this, professional services firms are at risk of being disrupted by technological development – enabling new business models to replace old distribution channels. The disruptions are mainly caused by social media, mobile, cloud, big data, artificial intelligence, and a growing demand for “anytime-anywhere” access to information. Other causes include changing global demographics, increase in entrepreneurship and innovation, and the movement of economic centers from West to East and from North to South. Following these steps, the professional services market is expected to $8 trillion by 2022.
The professional service market consists of the sales of professional services and related goods by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that offer services that provide support to businesses of all sizes and in all industries. This market also includes professional services offered to individuals and institutions. The business entities which are engaged in providing professional services are generally referred to as professional service organizations (PSOs) or professional service firms (PSFs).
