Avasant Offsite 2021

WELCOME TO OUR 2021 ANNUAL OFFSITE!

The theme for this year is Quantum Acceleration – Our Hyper-Growth Journey. We have many activities & engaging discussions in store for you to reflect & celebrate all that we have accomplished this year.

A Message From Our CEO

It is my pleasure to invite you to Quantum Acceleration. This is Avasant’s 15th Anniversary, the beginning of our 16th year – and with that, our 16th Offsite. At this year’s Offsite, we are going to take advantage of everything that the virtual world brings to us, while maintaining much needed human connection.

In 2021, our team reached new heights. Our future as an organization is bright, and we hope this offsite will inspire and empower you. After this experience, we hope you will gain a deeper understanding of our journey ahead. We look forward to strengthening bonds and making new memories with you.

So, join us aboard the Avasant Accelerator – this hyperloop train will take us from destination to destination as we meet our colleagues, participate in firm events, and learn more about our great company.

Decoding Our Future: Strategic Management Consulting

Client engagements have reached a trajectory level. Over the past year, Avasant has seen more strategy consulting as firms in the industry continue to climb the value chain. This has resulted in changing buyer profiles (IT, finance, business) where there is significant demand for heavily data-driven platform-enabled output. This begs the question: How do we position our capabilities to align with the ongoing market shift whilst remaining differentiated? We have adjusted our business consulting deliverables to include management-type services – for instance, our Highmark Health and Oscar Health engagements.

Business Transformation: An Accelerant to Hyper Growth

There is hardly any difference between business transformation and the world of Information Technology. We must be able to distinguish between both using a range of I.T. versus business transformation practices. Hyper-growth is beginning to manifest through impacts on revenue, which is closely examined using a revenue management cycle.
