Apparently, it’s true: People own dogs that look like themselves. A 2015 experiment revealed that by just looking at pooch and owner, it’s easy to match them up because their hairstyles and eye shape tend to be similar. Aside from wondering who on earth funds this sort of research, it made me think that there’s perhaps a parallel: Consulting firms’ offices tend to look like their owners.

It may be a little fanciful to compare a consulting market with a film, but the Benelux consulting market has, to my mind at least, an awful lot in common with 1993’s Groundhog Day–a comedy all about an arrogant TV weatherman, tasked with covering the annual appearance of a groundhog from its hole, who then gets trapped into reliving the same day over and over again until he gets it right. It's this time warp element (rather than the humour) that draws comparisons with what is happening to consulting in Benelux now–a market that seems to have got itself well and truly stuck on the hamster wheel of low growth.

That’s the question we ask in our new report on the digital transformation market, which is based on data from 150 very senior executives in the US.
Digital transformation is big business: we estimate that $1 in $6 spent on consulting now goes on this, a trend that’s cannibalised demand for traditional consulting services of all types (though some more than others). By itself, the global digital transformation consulting is now worth more than most local consulting markets (it’s twice the size of the entire UK market, for example, and five times that of China).
