With technology driving strategy in major corporations in relation to its customers, its employees, and its suppliers, what is the future role of a "pure" strat firm?
The trend seems to be moving towards implementation/new technology with a strat component, as evidenced by the shift in firms such as ATK and Booz, and the movement of tech firms such as IBM and Oracle into the consulting space. Will the MBBs of the world be increasingly marginalized?
Unlike VCs, pure strats seem to have only grudgingly accepted techies. As tech becomes an increasingly larger component, will the CEOs of the future come from those consulting firms who have embraced technology, not only from a academic standpoint, but from an implementation one as well?
