Operations management (OM) consulting
contributed more than half of the management consulting industry's growth
for 2004, according to Operations Management Consulting 2005-2008: Key
Data, Trends & Forecasts, a report released this week by Kennedy
Information , Inc.

While the compound annual growth rate for all types of OM consulting is
projected at 8% through 2008, the study found that the rate of growth for
consulting focused on the ends of the value chain -- R&D and product
development at one end, and customer interaction at the other end -- will
outpace that of supply chain management (SCM)." In the process, notes Smith, new
opportunities for firms with competencies in customer relationship
management (CRM) and product design and development will drive growth.
