Future of Work at Strategy&
How we collaborate with our clients in the new normal
Changing demographics and economic conditions, the digital transformation, and the Covid-19 pandemic have shifted our clients’ and our people’s demands to an extent that requires a redesigned consulting delivery model. With the aim of putting people – our clients, our teams and individuals – and their needs first, we have developed a customized delivery model that provides maximum flexibility for everyone.
In the past, we usually spent four days of the week at the client and one day in our corporate offices. In the new normal, we no longer rely on a fixed working model for close collaboration. We rather focus on our clients’ needs and agree on the ideal working model together at the beginning of each project.
There are three guiding principles that we have agreed on as a firm:
-
1Client centricity
Identifying the most effective (new) ways of working to support our client best.
-
2Team interaction
Creating an environment for developing our people and effective interpersonal collaboration.
-
3Individual flexibility
Considering individual needs and enabling diversity and inclusion.
This typically results in a healthy mix of on-site work with our clients, co-location in our offices, and individual working locations where all stakeholders benefit from more flexibility and more sustainable collaboration in global and diverse teams. In the end, each client engagement is unique and tailored according to a client’s situation, project phase, type of project, and the individual preferences of our consultants.
This work model will certainly evolve and needs to be further adapted over the coming months and years. Nevertheless, we are committed to building professional environment in the consulting industry where everyone involved can benefit from. As a starting point, we are proud of the first successful examples of application and invite you to have a look at how this new model works in practice.
