The history of consulting firms or consultancy companies
The consultancy-as a profession or independent activity-was born at the end of the XIX century associated with the management of large companies and related to the activity of the audit. Large companies-fundamentally American-begin then to give value to the external vision, contributed by professionals who know other companies of their sector or, even, experiences in other sectors that can enrich the internal vision of the Company. This is how the great American consultants are born: Arthur D. Little, Arthur Andersen (now divided into several companies), McKinsey, etc.
After the end of World War II, consulting companies in Europe emerge, linked to university knowledge: A model that has remained until today.
Consultancy is a mature market today, which has caused companies to specialize and provide differentiated services. Today, in the management consultancy market, several types of companies can be found:
- Largely diversified consulting firms, in which much of the business depends on information technologies (ICTs): Accenture, Deloitte, IBM, PWC.
- Large consulting firms specializing in management consultancy and strategy: McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group, Arthur D. Little, etc.
- Consulting firms Boutique or niche companies, specialising in sectors or functional areas of consultancy. Within this type of companies, we find those specialised in Government and Public Sector, such as Novadays. These types of companies frequently exploit business areas of little interest to large companies and have often been promoted by professionals who trained in large consultancy firms.
Government and public administration consulting firms

They are consulting companies that combine the knowledge of private management (originated in business schools) with those of macroeconomics and political science. Its success is based on the public management's pursuit of different objectives than private enterprise; And that the instruments to reach them are equally different.
The growth of these companies is due to the increasing professionalization of the public management, to the extension of the practices of the strategic direction in the administrations and to the awareness of the need to manage in an optimal way the resources Available. In this general framework, public managers require external support, providing them with knowledge to overcome the challenges that arise.
Currently, in the market of government consulting firms, several types of consultancy companies can be found:
- Political image or political consultancy companies: they advise parties and candidates in their election campaigns and in their public image.
- Lobby companies, whose activity is to represent the interests of private companies in the face of decisions taken in the public sector.
