Fiscal 2014 global non-audit advisory services of the Big Four, including tax services, increased to $70.17 billion (in USD here and throughout), an 8.4% increase over 2013 levels.

Organizations that employ category management best practices to better leverage the organization's management and IT consulting spending can realize between 10 and 20 percent in annual savings and cost avoidance, and other important forms of previously unexploited value.

The key distinctions between Transaction Executers, Policy & Process Builders, Sustainability Managers and Value Leaders are profiled and analyzed. This Research Note provides an update to the Monadnock Research Consulting Category Management Stages of Excellence, first published in 2009 and widely viewed as the benchmark for assessing consulting category management at global companies and large public service organizations.

The Chinese government has taken what appears to be a retaliatory action against the US by issuing an order banning government-affiliated organizations from engaging the services of US-headquartered consulting firms. McKinsey, BCG, Bain and PwC's Strategy& were specifically noted as firms with significant operations in China in a Financial Times report. Chinese government sources are claiming that the rationalization for the US consultancy ban is that consultants for these firms are supposedly spying on behalf of the US government. Research Note includes details on recent additional Chinese sanctions and MR analysis. Includes a copy of US DOJ complaint. (750 words)...

Blended rates are sometimes offered by providers of consulting services, or negotiated by sourcing and procurement professionals, to help simplify billing and payment processes. While blended rates may eliminate a lot of detail and dramatically simplify administrative aspects, negotiating the right blended rate is anything but simple. In most cases we recommend that clients avoid blended rates entirely. But if the organization has made a decision to go with them, there are factors to consider in negotiating competitive rates for master service agreements (MSAs) and project-specific statements of work (SOW). This Research Note details our 6-step process to simplify analysis and help clients negotiate better deals with strategic firm partners. (2,150 words, one graphic)...
