Overview: The paper explores the predominant driving-forces shaping the strategy consulting industry. Clients have become more demanding and their skill gaps in relation to strategy consultants are narrowing. The instant availability of global information has precipitated an erosion of the competitive advantage of integrated players running internal research and knowledge building capacities. As a result, the strategy consulting value chain disaggregates, new business models emerge, and focused players enter the field. Based on the discussed changes within the strategy consulting industry the paper identifies and describes four promising business models and their respective strengths, weaknesses, and key assumptions for their sustainability. Two mini cases examplifies how small players can benefit from the disaggregation of the value chain.
