Double Your Growth Rate

The surprising data behind the fastest growing and highest margin firms

What separates the fastest growing consulting firms from the rest? New Projectworks data points to a clear pattern: firms with stronger forward resourcing are not just growing faster. They are also seeing better commercial outcomes where it really counts, including revenue per person and margin.

Mark Orttung 09

Projectworks CEO Mark Orttung has built his career growing and selling both consulting firms and technology companies.

Dominique Rennell

Projectworks CCO Dominique Rennell advises global consulting firms on how to scale their growth and operations effectively.

In this live episode, we’ll unpack the delivery discipline behind that gap. You’ll get a sharper way to benchmark your own firm against the operators already turning forward visibility into higher revenue per person, better utilisation, and stronger margins. We’ll also get practical: how to run the resourcing meeting, what visibility leaders need across people, pipeline, skills, and capacity, and how to turn delivery discipline into measurable growth and profit gains.

What you’ll learn

  • Why two months of visibility changes the growth conversation.
  • What the fastest growing firms do differently in delivery.
  • How to run the resourcing conversations that protect margin.

Podcast

Client acquisition cost is the number no one measures but everyone should. Most firm leaders can quote utilization and margin, then go quiet when you ask what it costs to win a client. We'll work through how to measure it, what healthy looks like, and the leadership question underneath it: who you hire, and what an AI-forward exec team needs to be.

AI-driven business development
Podcast

Every proposal, pitch, and scoping call is overhead you carry before a client says yes, and the faster you grow the more it stacks up. In the AI era that's changing, with cost per proposal dropping by as much as 75% at firms using the right tools and workflows. We'll dig into what those leading firms are running, and how to keep this cost from blowing out as you scale.

Building the AI-era consulting firm
Podcast

Every firm is being told AI changes everything. Few can tell you what it's actually worth to them. We benchmark over 700 consulting firms, and our data puts revenue per employee near $160K today. Over the next couple of years, we expect the leading firms to double it, by turning the tools and data they already run on into an intelligent ecosystem that drives action across the firm. Season 3 opens on the question that defines the rest of it: what does healthy growth and profitability actually look like in the AI era?
