    Report Coverage

    This report focuses on management consulting and business advisory services including knowledge management in South Africa. It includes information on the state and size of the industry, significant issues and challenges, and subsectors such as knowledge management and business rescue. There are profiles of 53 companies including major players such as Accenture, BDO, McKinsey, KPMG, Deloitte and PwC and institutions such as Business Partners and the Free State Development Corporation.

    Management Consulting and Business Advisory Services

    The management consulting and business advisory services industry has been affected by the pandemic, which limited in-person consultations and travel and resulted in a number of clients cancelling projects. The reputational crisis in the industry has continued with allegations that several big management consulting firms were implicated in corruption by the state capture enquiry. Some mid-tier and boutique management consultancies have been able to capitalise on the crisis. Demand for consulting and business advisory services is rising, driven by clients looking for help with digital transformation, which increased during the pandemic. Enterprise and supplier development and turnaround and business rescue consulting also represent growing opportunities for business consultants.

    Industry Players

    While some very well-known firms with international footprints operate in this industry and have the lion’s share of revenue, the market is characterised by a large proportion of micro-businesses. It is estimated that almost 90% of business and management consultancies operating locally have no more than five employees.

    Concerns

    Ethical issues have come to dominate management consulting, particularly as several large firms have been caught up in state capture allegations, resulting in some reimbursing clients. There is also continuing concern over the independence of audit firms that offer consulting services, with some taking further steps to ring-fence consulting from audit services. One key risk in the sector is that clients can cancel contracts on short notice, which often puts revenue at risk. The sector is very competitive, and retaining and attracting talent is an ongoing challenge.

    Report Coverage

    The report on Management Consulting and Business Advisory Services describes the industry, recent developments and the factors influencing the sector’s performance. It includes comprehensive profiles of 46 firms including multinational firms operating in South Africa such as McKinsey and Bain, both of which were implicated in state capture revelations. It includes profiles on the major auditing and advisory firms such as Deloitte, PwC, EY and KPMG and specialist firms such as Hoorah Digital. Profiled companies that specialise in knowledge management include Knowlead Consulting & Training, IQbusiness and Pinoak Consulting.

    Management Consulting & Business Advisory Services, Including Knowledge Management

    South Africa’s management consulting and business advisory industry has been under growing pressure since 2017. The industry has been rocked by revelations that numerous consulting firms, including several global market leaders, have facilitated and/or been complicit in irregular activities and misdeeds, including fraud, state capture and corruption. Revelations that consultants from several multinational firms were found to be complicit have rocked the industry. The consequences of these developments, consulting expenditure cutbacks and economic conditions have affected the traditionally lucrative industry. Some role players say that knowledge management is increasingly being regarded as a potential game-changer with the advent of the fourth industrial revolution and the internet of everything.

    Mounting Pressure

    National Treasury has issued directives to government departments and state-owned entities to reduce their reliance on the use of consultants, a practice which was previously widespread. At the same time, conventional consulting has been fundamentally changed by technology-driven disruption, requiring firms to incorporate digital tools to remain competitive. Technological advances also present various opportunities to the sector.

    Report Coverage

    The Management Consulting and Business Advisory Services report describes current conditions, recent trends including digital disruption and other factors that influence the success of the sector. The report profiles 40 companies, including global strategy consulting leaders with a South African footprint, Boston Consulting Group, McKinsey & Company, Bain & Company and Alexander Proudfoot. Also profiled are technology firms, such as Accenture and IBM Global Business Services, and provincial agency, the Gauteng Growth and Development Agency SOC Ltd.

    The South African Management Consulting and Business Advisory Services Sector

    The South African Management Consulting and Business Advisory Services industry performs a pivotal role in all sectors of the South African economy, providing a multitude of value-added services that seek to enhance performance and productivity. The sector is characterised by high levels of fragmentation and differentiation, with players ranging from independent sole proprietors to major multinational consulting firms. The number of consultants, business advisors and business coaches exceeds 60,000 while the annual revenue of the sector is estimated at more than R70bn.

    Challenges and Opportunities

    Even though this multi-dimensional industry is highly strategic in nature, public service expenditure on consultants decreased by 12.6% in real terms between 2012/13 and 2015/16 as a result of cost-cutting initiatives by government departments. However, in the current economic climate companies continue to seek professional advice on the streamlining of their businesses with a view to maximising operational efficiencies. The rapid rate of technological development also presents opportunities for consultants and there is growing demand for Digital Advice Management, also known as Robo Advisory Services. Of increasing importance are consulting activities related to data science, Big Data, data mining and predictive analytics, cloud-based IT infrastructure, mobile apps and data services, as well as data and network security. With the intention of bringing innovative digital solutions to companies across Africa, PwC South Africa recently entered into a joint business relationship with Google, using platforms such as Google for Work applications and Google Cloud.

    Report Coverage

    The report on the South African Business and Management Consultancy sector describes the current market, looks at developments and global trends and discusses factors influencing the success of the sector. The report also profiles 41 South African-based companies.

    Business and Management Consultancy Sector

    This report focuses on Business and Management Consultancy activities in South Africa. The industry, which generates an average annual income in excess of R70bn, provides over 100 different services to industries in every sector of the economy. The Institute of Management Consultants of Southern Africa (IMCSA) estimates that there are approximately 60,000 consultants based in South Africa.

    Current Conditions

    Over the years, the market has become increasingly competitive. Although around 90% of business and management consultancies are micro-businesses, large consultancies, which are typically awarded high value projects, account for 85% of the industry’s total income. The challenging economic climate has compelled numerous clients to cut their consulting budgets and some of the larger companies, notably the ABSA and FirstRand groups, have established their own in-house consulting divisions. Consultancies continue to report declining margins and it is becoming increasingly commonplace for consulting contracts to include caps on overall cost, lower hourly rates, as well as tighter restrictions on project-related expenses. The recommendations made by Auditor-General for the South African Government to slash expenditure on consultants, is another problem confronting companies in this sector.
