In an ideal business world no one would need outside consultants. In this ideal world all problems could be solved by the judicious allocation of in-house resources for strategic planning, future studies, business ideas generation, media relations, contract negotiations, tendering for new work and many other functions. Yet this ideal world is rarely matched, if ever, by the real world. This is truer today than it ever was. In a nutshell, modern high-tech business is faced ever more starkly with the problem of change; how to understand and quantify it, how to plan for it and how to harness it to produce new projects and business.
