Growth: Building a Successful Consultancy in the Digital Age

Nearly half of small consultancies fail within their first five years, but over 250 are sold every month. How do you ensure you are in the right group? How can you successfully grow a consulting firm? How do you maximise the value of your consultancy for an exit or investment?

This is the first evidence-based book to tackle these questions. Based upon interviews with 72 founders who grew and sold their firms, two international surveys, and a long career researching and advising consultancies, Professor Joe O’Mahoney provides a detailed, evidence-based approach to successful growth and exit for consultancy leaders.

Accessible, evidence-based and written by a leading expert in the field, this book is essential reading for anyone looking to set up, grow or sell their own consultancy business.

Joe O’Mahoney is a leading expert on the management consulting industry. He is the founder and CEO of Consulting Mastered Ltd, and also StayMobile Technology Ltd and Repair Café Wales CIC, the former of which was sold in 2008. He is a Professor of Management Consulting at Cardiff University and his leading textbook on management consulting was the best-selling in Europe.
