Saudi Arabia Wants Fewer Consultants — and Better Answers 🤔❗

RIYADH  🔆   — Saudi Arabia’s consulting market is entering a more demanding phase as government entities and businesses increasingly seek smaller project teams, tighter mandates and recommendations tied to measurable economic and operational results.
  
After years of strong demand for strategy, transformation and advisory services under Vision 2030, Saudi clients are becoming more selective about how and why they use external consultants. The emphasis is shifting from the volume of consultants deployed to the quality, speed and impact of the advice delivered. The change is particularly visible in the structure of consulting engagements. 
 
The question facing consulting firms is no longer simply how many consultants can be deployed, but what unique value those consultants bring that the client cannot produce internally.
