Show Notes

“It isn't about the price of the consultancy, it’s the impact of the outcome they're delivering, so cheap can become very expensive.”

The difference in spend between contingent labour and consultancies globally is incredibly small, yet the technology and systems to work with them lags far behind.

As CEO of Constellia, Rob Levene keeps close contact with their Consultancy Procurement Council to maintain a finger on the pulse of what issues need solving in the consultancy space.

In this jam-packed episode of Talent Talks we look at the 6 biggest concerns with consultancy services, which tools are needed to alleviate those pain points, and how to reassess the value that firms place on consultancy services.

This episode of Talent Talks covers:

  • The combined public and private sector experiences that led to Constellia’s inception
  • Transitioning the MSP model across sectors
  • A lack of established technology solutions for consultancy, despite a similar level of spend to contingent labour
  • The 6 top risks that category managers are facing right now
  • Reframing the financial impact of consultancy to consider value over cost
