New Rules -- and Opportunities -- Emerging for Financial Services Consultants
Kennedy Analysts Find That Specialization -- With an Eye on Regulatory Reforms -- Are Key Drivers in Today's Demand for Financial Services Engagements
(firmenpresse) - PETERBOROUGH, NH -- (Marketwire) -- 04/18/12 -- Kennedy's in-depth examination of Financial Services consulting markets worldwide reveals that, as the industry faces a barrage of regulations in developed economies -- and perhaps soon in developing economies -- new ways of doing business will be required. In fact, compliance and the need to find better ways to ensure financial success are already creating many opportunities for consultants.
According to , Financial Services Consulting Marketplace, the dominant theme now is specialization. Financial Services clients want consultants who know their business, understand the expansive regulatory environment, and possess well developed consulting skills.
That said, breadth and scale are not being overlooked either. The consulting firms that invested in their own growth during the downturn and can offer more capabilities have an advantage today.
"Business cycles continue to shorten, and recently-enacted regulations have not been entirely defined," according to Tomek Jankowski, Research Analyst for Kennedy. "That, coupled with changing customer needs, brand issues, unprecedented market pressures and competition from non-traditional players has financial services clients looking to consultants to help them fundamentally reinvent themselves even as the ground beneath their feet is shifting."
Additional findings reveal that, even in an era of regulatory reform, certain forward-thinking CEOs are not losing sight of the importance of competitive advantage. Therefore, some consultants are also being asked to address compliance in ways that will also improve their client company's position in the marketplace.
