In the mid-1970s the U.S. became a "service economy" — meaning that its service sector represented more economic value in what it produced for the national economy than agriculture or manufacturing or any other economic sector. In this the U.S. is not alone, professional services represent the fastest growing sector for virtually all the developed world’s economies.

This dynamic and fast growing sector includes partnerships and corporations providing accounting and auditing, banking and financial, business and project management, executive coaching and recruiting, healthcare and medicine, hospitality, and legal services. Such growth as each of these industries is experiencing generates a myriad of regulatory, legislative, marketing, governance, financial, and communications problems and opportunities. Furthermore the highly educated, compensated and independent characteristics of the individuals working in professional service disciplines present a host of communications and management challenges and opportunities of their own.

Plexus partners know this sector well. Not only have many of us served in law, accounting, project management, and other management consulting firms before joining Plexus—but the service sector represents our own largest and fastest growing base of clients. Moreover, Plexus counts workforce development as among its core industry specializations.

Our past and current experience in providing professional consulting services to this sector include:

Case studies illustrating our experience in all these areas can be found in the Plexus website under "Success Stories."
