Modular Consulting

Today, companies experience a number of challenges that change the business conditions. Firstly, the focus on customer needs leads to customized products, which means companies have to manage a greater variety of products. Secondly, competition enforces companies to strive for efficiency in the business chain: to reduce costs, increase quality and reduce response time. Finally, technology is evolving fast, engineering tasks are huge and complex, implying that companies have to cope with greater complexities and constantly changing environments.

Modular Consulting is gaining ground these days. Modularity offers a compromise and ability to combine customization and standardization in order to develop services/products more efficiently and economically for the client. Modularization is often mentioned as a means for handling these seemingly conflicting demands by the consultants that are based at all over the world. The idea is that a broad variety of skillful consultants can be engaged on different number of modules.

Modular Consulting, as we use the concept today, has emerged in consulting services context and is inextricably bound up with the wish for utilizing resources in the most efficient way when a number of related tasks are to be solved, or a range of related services/products are to be developed.
