2021 Consulting Trends - A Movemeon's Insights Series
We open our series on 2021 Consulting Trends and share our insights from leaders in consulting firms of all sizes, and consultants themselves.
At Movemeon, we are privileged enough to sit at the intersection of disruption in the consulting industry: Speaking with senior leaders in consulting firms of all sizes, as well as with thousands of ex and current consultants themselves, we see how clients’ needs are evolving, which firms have kept pace with digital transformation, and how delivery mechanisms are changing - all within the context of political and macroeconomic uncertainty.

Over the course of Q4, we will share some of our insights and offer our view on some of the major trends shaping the industry. As 2021 draws to a close, it seems like a great opportunity to reflect on the changes brought on by the pandemic and the solutions consultancies have resorted to, or the measures they may need to take in the future.
Over the past 9 months alone, we saw a surge in demand from consultancies of all kinds on our platform. So much so that we posted 13 times more advisory roles than during the whole of 2020. If you’re interested in finding out why, you can read our latest insights and industry experts' interviews on our website.

Fifty people, one former CEO of Xero, Apple Asia Pacific, Ninemsn and Microsoft ANZ. The Movemeon Group brought together a small group of clients, network members and friends of the firm in Sydney for a fireside chat between Steve Vamos and Movemeon co-founder Richard Rosser, introduced and closed by Pete Clifton-Smith (GM APAC, The Movemeon Group), with closing remarks from Richard Whiteoak (MD, Whiteoak Private Equity).
The brief was simple: what does it actually take to lead, and to lead well, through constant disruption? What followed was one of the clearest, most practical breakdowns of the CEO role that anyone in the room had heard.
Meta UK's chief exec (ex-McKinsey, ex-Sequoia) shares a career framework built on rising complexity and expanding influence rather than titles, plus advice to stay close enough to real work to catch mistakes, including bad AI outputs. She ties this to Meta's strategy: WhatsApp agents aim to restore personal trust at scale, AI is expanding jobs rather than cutting them, and targeted fixes beat blanket bans.
