The consulting industry is no exception to that. While hard to estimate<\/span><b>, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">researchers did try to come up with a number for the knock-on effect on the consulting industry and predicted that the industry could lose up to $30 billion in revenue in 2020. The magnitude of the disaster looked almost certain to cause a recession in the near future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"online-consulting-industry-trends\"><b>Trends That Will Shape The Future of Global Online Consulting Industry\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pandemic shaped the consulting industry trends moving into 2021 with an expectation of a dynamic shift towards virtualization, digital disruption, and flexible &amp; personalized offering to businesses. Let\u2019s discuss the key trends that are set to shape the consulting industry post-pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Greater Emphasis On Tangible Outcomes:<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The businesses seeking consultation in the post-pandemic era will anticipate quantifiable results. There will be an expectation from business consultants to eliminate the expensive diagnosis and implement cost-effective solutions. They will also be required to make sure that their strategies are aligned with the operational realities and are easily measurable.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Personalized Consulting For Unique Business Challenges<\/strong>:<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Since all businesses have different requirements, they are no more looking for off-the-shelf solutions, which are not specific to their business\u2019s needs. Business consultants are now expected to eliminate the one size fits all model and know the operational insights of the business. This will facilitate them to bring adapted services to the table that meet the industry, functional, and client context.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Remote Consultation Over In-Person Consultation Visits<\/strong>:<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Working with businesses via remote consulting became the modus operandi in the post-pandemic world. This led to the widespread usage of virtual consulting platforms. Fast-tracking virtual consulting platforms can deliver the same outcomes as traditional consulting and are going to remain strong in this new era.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Long-Term And Deeper Involvement In Business Operations<\/strong>:<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Consultants in the past would leave once they\u2019d offered their services and seen them implemented in a business. However, clients now expect consultants to be fully involved and get deeper insights as well as share the risk of implemented solutions. Consultants are required to build value-oriented business models instead of gearing towards quick wins and chasing new opportunities.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"digitalization-online-consulting-niches\"><b>Consulting Firms Jump On The Digital Bandwagon<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In response to the pandemic, online consultation was rapidly adopted as the means to reinvent the industry one more time. It allowed the consulting firms to continue offering their services while quarantining at their homes. Surprising everyone with the speed and success of the transformation, digital consultation leapfrogged several years of progress in a matter of a few months. Consumers turned to digital channels and businesses made sure to best meet their shifting demands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"niches\"><b>Consulting Niches Where Digitalization Became the Norm Amid The Pandemic<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pandemic has changed the dynamics of the consulting industry. While some consulting firms went out of operations, many particularly in the Telemedics market witnessed a surge in demand. Also, there was a silver lining in the Healthcare, Management, Interior Design, Beauty and Finance sectors where many existing players and startups adopted digital solutions to combat the challenges of COVID-19. Let\u2019s take a look at how these niches have been transformed in the aftermath of the pandemic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"health-nutrition-consulting\"><b>Health &amp; Nutrition Consulting<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Online Healthcare Consultation witnessed a sharp growth during the pandemic as COVID-induced restrictions prompted customers to move online.

Instead of adopting the new trends in the market, make sure to stick to the industry and niche of which you have a profound understanding.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Choose a Business Model<\/strong>:<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Entrepreneurs make a lot of mistakes when choosing the business model for their consulting marketplace. Having a proper business model crystallizes your idea and negates many errors. The efforts that go into preparing the business model prove out to be invaluable at the later stages. Online consulting has 3 core types of business models:<br \/>\n<\/span><b>1) Marketplace Consulting Model: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This model connects consultants with clients as per their requirements and acts as a mediator between them. Usually, consulting firms go for this business model when moving towards digital solutions. <\/span>Expert360<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span>UpCounsel<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are popular marketplaces following the marketplace consulting business model.<br \/>\n<\/span><b>2) Machine-Driven Expert Network: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This business model uses machine learning for matching consultants with clients. After the algorithm has picked the suitable consultants, the list has to be checked to select the best consultant for the job. This business model reduces the time for searching and finds more relevant consultants. <\/span>Techspert <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span>CleverX<b> <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are online consulting marketplaces facilitating expert consultation using an AI searching system.<br \/>\n<\/span><b>3) Crowd-Funded Expert Calls: <\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This business model shares the experience of an expert. As this model only works with clients who are comfortable sharing their insights with others, this is not suitable for every consulting marketplace. Nonetheless, there are marketplaces that follow this business model and <\/span>Slingshot Insights<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is one of them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Launch Your Online Consulting Marketplace:<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Starting an online consulting business requires an online platform to engage potential clients and consultants. One of the many ways to launch an online consulting marketplace is to purchase readymade white-label software. It allows you to get into the market in no time and without much of a hassle. With a much lower cost than custom development, white-label software does not lack anywhere in technical functionality for creating an online marketplace.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from being a great way to save time and money on starting an online consulting business from scratch, it also offers you the core functionalities and the ability to add more advanced features to your marketplace.
