reason that I've been focusing on my
most recent step in my professional life
(and I am still trying to maintain
something like a work/life balance ;-)
In fact, a month ago I joined Stefano
Mastrogiacomo at his company Arvetica
and I will contribute to its development.
Arvetica is a consulting boutique that
builds on a creative & design approach
to strategy, while heavily drawing on
existing knowledge (body of methods,
processes & concepts), co-creating
strategy with clients, fostering
innovation, contributing to new
knowledge creation and building
tailor-made training.
Currently we're in the process of
developing our strategy, offer and action
plan for the coming 3 years. During this
process I came across a paper that
describes the emergence of new
business models in the strategy
consulting arena: "DDiissaaggggrreeggaattiioonn ooff
tthhee VVaalluuee CChhaaiinn:: EEmmeerrggeennccee ooff NNeeww
BBuussiinneessss MMooddeellss iinn SSttrraatteeggyy
CCoonnssuullttiinngg"
The paper observes 4 major drivers of
change in this area:
democratization regarding access
to information & data (Web, etc.)
narrowing skill gap between
strategy consultants and their
clients
clients are becoming more

increasing competition in the
strategy consulting arena
Then it outlines an industry value chain
disaggregation into four generic
components:
knowledge building
project setup
strategy development
strategy implementation
Finally, the paper concludes with "four
promising business models":

in a completely new business
model: these companies focus on
specific roles like setting-up

consultant selection, while
outsourcing all the actual strategy
consulting work to other
companies

What is funny about the paper is that

Alex,
you might want to skim through this 4
page article in the last issue of the
quarterly INSEAD review
http://www.insead.edu/discover_INSEAD
/publications/documents/IQ11.pdf
at pages 10-13, I came across some times
ago on changes in the strategy industry.
It is not exactly that much academic,and
focused on the big firms, but a fast read.
Ciao
Carlo Arioli
Alex,
Congratulations on your next professional
shift. Keep up the good work.
