Accenture: Two-thirds of CIOs and IT professionals participating in a recent survey believe that mobility will impact their businesses as much or more than the Internet did in the 1990s. Only 20-percent of outsourcing engagements are delivering sufficient business value to be classified as "high performance" BPO.

MR - The forced departure of Leo Apotheker as Hewlett-Packard's controversial Chairman and CEO was expected. His replacement, however, Meg Whitman, was a surprise. Whitman's background includes holding onto the reigns of a massively successful eBay for 10 years after it had become one of the most successful start-ups in history; executive stints at Disney, FTD, Stride-Right and Hasbro; work as a strategy consultant and firm executive at Bain & Co.; and most recently, in a costly failed bid to become Governor of California. She has been on HP's board for less time than Apotheker was at the helm. That would be 11 months for Apotheker, if you count his first several months in hiding to avoid an Oracle subpoena in the SAP Tomorrow Now case. That litigation cost his former employer $1.3 billion, in the largest copyright infringement damages award in U.S. history by nearly a factor of ten. In this Research Note we discuss why we believe that running HP, a company in the businesses of ent...

Booz&Co. - The majority of executives in all industries indicate that their companies lack "coherence." They struggle with: setting a clear and differentiating strategy; ensuring that day-to-day decisions are in line with their strategy; and allocating resources in a way that supports the strategy, according to a recent Booz & Company survey. Most executives (52 percent) don't feel their company's strategy will lead to success; two out of three respondents admit that their company's capabilities don't fully support their strategy; only one in five (21 percent) are fully confident they have a right to win; and the majority (64 percent) agree that their company has too many conflicting priorities.

MR - Literally thousands of firms consult in the area of strategy, but a very small number of large firms view strategy as their core focus. This Research Note focuses on "Big Strategy," or who we view as the world's largest strategy specialists. Working with these firms is different. And there are a number of reasons why it is important for consulting clients to understand the differences. This Research Note provides our estimates and perspectives on: 2011 mean and median rates, and rate ranges by category of professional; average strategy engagement duration; unique project characteristics; what makes firms in this category unique and distinct from large multi-line firms providing similar services; and how to effectively maximize engagement value. Note also provides important keys to better understanding how the rate structures of strategy specialists can be assessed and compared to hourly rate structures of other providers of strategy consulting.

Booz & Co. - Total R&D spending among the world's top spenders on innovation dropped in 2009 for the first time in the 13 years studied, according to the 2010 Global Innovation 1000, a study of corporate innovation spending conducted by Booz & Company. The study found that the 1,000 companies that spent the most on research and development decreased their total R&D spending by 3.5 percent to $503 billion in 2009. This followed a relatively strong 2008 where R&D spending continued to grow despite the recession. More than half of all companies tracked cut their R&D spending in 2009 and nearly all the cuts came in just three industries: Auto, computing and electronics, and industrials. The other industries examined all increased spending to some degree. Revenues for the Innovation 1000 plunged 11 percent from $15.1 trillion in 2008 to $13.4 trillion in 2009 - nearly three times the rate of decline in R&D spending. But the study also found no statistically significant relationship...
Vault has just published its latest list of the top consulting firms, the "Vault 2011 Consulting 50." This year's ranking is not based strictly on the "prestige" factor, which is a ranking of perceptions by consultants of firms other than the one they work for. That listing is still published, but as a separate ranking. Vault's overall 2011 ranking weighs culture, work/life balance; compensation; prestige; business outlook; and transparency. While the Vault rankings might help firms with their college recruiting efforts, the utility for clients is limited. But taking a contrarian view provides some interesting perspective. This Research Note offers insights into what clients can learn from these rankings, and why high scores in some categories aren't necessarily good for your business or your project. The top 10 firms for the current ranking are: (1) Bain, (2) BCG, (3) McKinsey, (4) Analysis, (5) Cambridge Group, (6) Deloitte, (7) Oliver Wyman, (8) A.T. Kearney, (9)...

Booz & Company - Strategy development typically follows a well-worn path from the market back to the boardroom, focusing first on external positioning and opportunity, as opposed to internal capabilities. The results are often disappointing, according to Booz & Company's Paul Leinwand and Cesare Mainardi in their Harvard Business Review article "The Coherence Premium." According to Booz, many of the world's market leaders - from Procter & Gamble to Coca-Cola to Mars and its Wrigley division - wind up benefiting from a measurable and proven "coherence premium." A company becomes coherent when its system of three to six capabilities is consciously chosen and implemented to support a focused strategic purpose and is aligned with the right product and service portfolio. Coherent companies have no problem answering these questions: How are we going to face the market? What capabilities do we need? What are we going to sell, and to whom?(1,325 words)...
