The 2020 Professional Services Maturity Benchmark revealed for professional service organizations, 2019 was year of smooth sailing with improvements shown in most major indices. The 513 Professional Services organizations represented in this benchmark employ nearly 275,000 consultants; collectively these firms generated over $43 billion in PS revenue. Signs of global consulting prosperity were revealed as annual revenue generated per consultant reached a new high of $207K! Revenue per employee was equally impressive reaching an all-time peak of $170K! Service organizations are benefiting from the increased use of integrated business applications to push productivity to new levels. The important billable utilization metric, which indicates the number of annual hours consultants are doing productive, billable work, improved to 1,435. Equally important, attrition, which measures the percentage of employees who voluntarily or involuntarily resigned during the year, declined to 13.2%, down from 13.9% in 2018. Given a massive skilled talent shortage, a decrease in attrition has a major impact on bottom-line profit as it can cost over $150,000 to replace a valued consultant in the technology services arena. “Client referenceability†improved from 71.9% in 2018 to 72.2% in 2019. The survey asks firms to report the percentage of their clients who are referenceable. In other words, satisfied clients who would act as a reference for their products and services.
