IT Service & Consulting Providers are facing a perfect storm – the economic slowdown, cost-conscious customers who in-source, intense competition, disintermediation by Cloud Platform Providers, lack of differentiation and the looming impact of AI.
Over 70% IT Service and Consulting Providers have a sustainable growth problem

In response to this, many have been doubling down on marketing/sales activity, billable utilisation and endless cost-out initiatives. While overlooking the underlying problem – they have lost their ability to Generate Demand.
Pipelines are stalling. Revenue is flat or declining. But the issue isn’t just sales execution — it’s that the rules of the market have fundamentally changed.
Rapidly changing markets mean that what resonated three years ago no longer reflects today’s buyer priorities driving a widening Value Gap. Why – because markets are defined by customer outcomes – not by products & services. Operationally sound offers that don’t address urgent needs or demonstrate clear ROI get filtered out — fast.
Zero-click search and AI-assisted research mean customers are validating vendors and forming preferences before your website, sales team, or marketing content are even seen. In fact 70% of the B2B buying journey is self directed. If your offer isn’t discoverable, differentiated, and relevant, you’re not even part of the conversation.
Unfortunately most IT Services and Consulting providers are not equipped to close the Value Gap and regain visibility. Instead they suffer from Boiling Frog Syndrome hoping things will improve by continuing to attempt to sell the same thing.
Organisations need to act now to get ahead of the curve… they need to close the Value Gap and Pivot their portfolio into sustainable growth markets.
