Adjacent sectors
Business Consultancy & Building & Construction
Two adjacent ISG sector groups with structural demand across the United States: professional-services leadership, and the people building the country.
The market
Why this sector, and why now.
- Build & operate
- The scarce leader runs both the project and the P&L — from preconstruction to the completed asset.
- Advisory follows capital
- Corporate relocation and expansion pull advisory firms in behind them.
- Two ISG sector groups
- Business Consultancy and Building & Construction are established global ISG practices.

Adjacent, not peripheral.
These sectors sit at the edge of our book by design, but they are served by the full weight of ISG's global sector groups. If your search sits here, you get the ISG network behind it and a partner in the United States who answers the phone.
