From Here to Eternity?

Pressure on the consulting industry is coming from all directions. Gen Z want purpose in their careers and even the Pope is telling them they must be more socially conscious.

Is there anything or anyone who can challenge the power of the consultants?

Adam Shaw continues his investigation into the consultancy industry.

Can they survive the challenges ahead – attract top talent, resist calls for regulation and even pressure from the Pope, trying to guide them to be more socially conscious.

In times of new crisis, government and business reach straight for consultants’ expertise; like death and taxes will they be with us forever?
