FUTURE OF CONSULTANCY

Backed by the government as part of its Industrial Strategy and part-funded by the UKRI, ACE’s Future of Consultancy campaign will pivot an entire sector to seize the opportunities offered by a better connected, technology-first approach to the development, design, construction and operation of our built environment. 

The next decade will be very different to the last. A society moving towards net zero has different expectations of its infrastructure and with finance and decision-making moving to the devolved nations, regions and cities, demands on our sector have never been higher.

At the same time, self-monitoring infrastructure, offsite and modular construction, design simulation, virtual reality, digital-first design, data-led decision-making and artificial intelligence are already radically altering the way consultants and designers operate.

Other high-value industries such as the aerospace and automobile industries have been completely transformed and look very different to only a few years ago. We stand on the brink of a similar revolution.

Future of Consultancy will holistically prepare the whole of our industry for this radical step-change by identifying opportunities at home and abroad, exploring new business models and contracts, understanding the skills profile needed, and successfully leading digital transformation.

The programme will help companies to not only prepare for the future but enable them to confidently grasp the rewards presented as the industry moves “from volume to value”.

SEIZING THE OPPORTUNITY

Drawing on the expertise of over 650 different businesses and their clients, ACE has outlined its vision for the Future of Consultancy. Working between clients, regulators and industry in this space, ACE's role is to conceive, trial and test new solutions, while supporting its members to make the transition to this new way of working.

For businesses, it’s about evolving to meet the changing needs of the existing market, while collaborating to grow into new areas in policy (strategic planning) and operations. The focus for 2020 will be to secure a commitment for an ambitious partnership between Government, academia and industry to deliver the programme.
