IT and professional services: Restoring performance in a disrupted sector

The IT and professional services sector is navigating a complex mix of margin pressure, talent shortages, evolving client expectations and digital transformation. Firms that once scaled through recurring contracts and human capital are now challenged by automation, commoditisation and escalating wage costs.

As project pipelines shift, delivery models fragment and investor expectations tighten, many firms find themselves operationally overstretched and financially exposed. Strategic, structural intervention is often required to avoid decline - and to refocus on value creation, not just service delivery.

Challenges we help solve

  • Eroding profitability and rising costs: Margin compression, wage inflation and overservicing are making traditional business models increasingly unsustainable.
  • Talent drain and capacity mismatch: Skilled talent is harder to retain, while misalignment between capability and demand creates delivery bottlenecks.
  • Client retention and contract risk: Growing competition and performance inconsistency are driving higher churn and reduced renewal rates.
  • Underperforming acquisitions: Buy-and-build strategies often fail to integrate, creating cultural friction and cost duplication.
  • Cash-flow and working capital stress: Delayed billing, project overruns and rising overheads increase pressure on cash reserves and creditor confidence.
