3 Trends for the next 3 Years and the impacts on the Consulting Industry

"Increasing investment and expenditures of Governments worldwide"

Most of the money will be spend for investments in infrastructure. Energy & Utilities, Healthcare and Constructions, these are the client industries consultants should focus on. 

"Decrease of fixed salaried people in most of the client industries" 

Under the precondition of economic recovery in the next 3 Years, consulting industry has a chance to fill the upcoming lack of human resources with their employees or freelancers.  

"Decrease of peoples consumption expenditures in western industrial nations"

Due to the experience in that crisis, and even under the precondition of economic recovery the peoples saving rate will grow. The scenario of deflation could be probable. Bad forecast for Retail, Automotive and Consumer Goods. Experts in restructuring are in demand.
