Roland Berger Again Entertains Deloitte Offer Monadnock Research (Vol VI, No 17) - 26 March 2013 On the heels of its acquisition of strategy consultancy Monitor, Deloitte is again in talks to acquire Roland Berger Strategy Consultants. The vote against the proposed combination was carried in 2010 by a Roland Berger partner margin of close to 100 percent. We reported then that the overwhelming lack of support within the Roland Berger partnership made it surprising that negotiations made it as far as it did before falling apart. At that time Roland Berger had around 200 partners. Today we estimate it has increased by 25% to 250 partners globally, serving clients from 49 offices in 35 countries in Europe, Asia, North and South America, Africa and the Middle East. That is up from 36 offices in 25 countries when Deloitte first made its offer in 2010. (765 words) . . . More
Big Four Fiscal 2012 Advisory Practice Rankings and Ratios Monadnock Research (Vol VI, No 5) - 21 Feb 2013 Global non-audit advisory services of Big Four firms, including tax services, increased to $61.16 billion (USD) in fiscal 2012, a 9% increase over 2011 levels. Total non-tax consulting and advisory services of Deloitte, KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Ernst & Young were $36.1 billion in USD, an increase of 12.06% over fiscal 2011. That compares to an overall increase of 6.42% for the Big Four across all service areas, and mean growth of just 3.4% in audit services. KPMG's audit revenues actually decreased by 1.62% in fiscal 2012. This is the third year Monadnock Research has published analysis of the consulting and advisory services operations of the Big Four. We note that the Big Four continue to seek organic growth and strategic M&A in non-audit advisory areas. This Research Note offers an in-depth analysis of that, highlighting the risks associated with a high and growing proportion of advisory to audit services at Big Four firms, and the conflict risk this unique mix of services represents.

Rate Factors: The 10 Key Dynamics of Consulting and Advisory Services Rate Models (1 of 3) Monadnock Research (Vol V, No 18) - 10 Aug 2012 The average global rate for a consultant in 2011 across all practice areas and industries was $216 per hour. That rate might have interesting historical value, but it's a meaningless statistic to most clients. What's relevant, for example, is what a reasonable MSA rate for Deloitte professionals would be in Switzerland for organizational strategy work next year if global strategy spend is expected to be around $2.5 million in 2013. This report helps clients answer those difficult questions by understanding how to analyze the key elements that impact fees. There are ten key dynamics that influence rates for consulting and advisory services. This report offers perspective on those factors, and shows how each combines to influence rates and set fees that clients ultimately pay. We do not provide exhaustive detail on each factor. But we do cover the key elements that are essential to understand for creating consulting rate models; analyzing firm capabilities, proposals and rate cards; establishing and updating strategic supplier Master Service Agreements; and negotiating Statements of Work for consulting engagements. This Research Note is the first in a 3-part series, focusing on Economics, Competence, Markets and Competition factors. It also contains 6 charts detailing mean rates across Strategy, Operations, HR and IT consulting, and Financial and Business Advisory services.
