Although there are some advantages to small size, the handicaps for competing in the management and organizational consulting market are also substantial. One way for consulting psychology to compete is to be the 1st to bring to market a compelling human capital strategy. The HC Bridge model is offered as one possible model, and a case presentation is provided to demonstrate the use of one such model, Getting and sustaining a lead in human capital strategy is an effective way for consulting psychologists to become real, rather than self-proclaimed, players in the field of management and organizational consulting.
