Tariffs, geopolitical tensions, and economic shocks have forced clients into a tough decision: globalise or localise . This report provides proprietary data and analysis to help your firm understand clients' plans for international investment and how this will impact their behaviours and needs.

We surveyed 160 senior buyers of consulting to capture their confidence levels, investment priorities, and propensity to hire external support.

What's inside?

• What really matters: Three key messages for firms, including that all clients, whether globalising or localising, will be dependent on external support.
• An examination of “the new frontier”: We examine how globalisation trends, such as tariffs, have impacted clients' confidence levels and their likelihood to expand internationally.
• The opportunities for firms: In consulting, uncertainty breeds opportunity. We explore where clients will be looking for the most guidance.
• The new geographic delivery model: We explain how firms should adapt how they work depending on the type of client at hand.
   

Why does it matter for your firm?

• Challenge assumptions about how your firm supports clients globally and locally. Understand how the urgency of clients' international expansion plans will impact demand for your services.
• Identify where client uncertainty creates new consulting opportunities. Pinpoint areas where clients will be looking for the most guidance and support.
• Adapt your delivery model to meet evolving client needs. Tailor your firm’s approach based on client type, confidence, and international expansion plans.
