KPMG is back in the game
Our management consultancy columnist, Mick James, this week talks to Alan Downey, chief operating officer for KPMG Risk Advisory Services, about the firm's return to consultancy.
The return of the Big Four consultancy firms has opened up a new fault line in the market pace with the notion of the "client side advisory" firm, as distinct from the end-to-end supplier with fingers in the pies of outsourcing and systems integration. It's a branding scuffle that often threatens to become bitter: Are the big consultancies just sales engines for outsourcing and integration, or do the accountants lack the resources to follow through on their advice?

Consultants driving change in the public sector
Implementing the government's change agenda has created enormous amounts of work for the consultancy industry, which has been called upon to implement change projects on an unprecedented scale.

Partly this reflects the fact that firms can't recruit suitable staff quickly enough. But equally it's a reflection of the fact that consultancies are also having to replace a significant number of staff who choose to move on.
That's where you come in.

A gala tribute to global copycats
Over the decade, the art of copying and stealing other people's content and ideas has settled comfortably in the mainstream across the globe. What formerly would constitute an act of piracy is now a commonplace, everyday occurrence. Isn't it time to give these 'borrowers' a tribute, host a gala dinner and hand out awards?
