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