Need for travel has been one reason why some of our jobs could not be outsourced to remote delivery & low cost off-shoring. If travel is fully or >50% eliminated, it can be a real threat to management consulting as we know it.

Since we need some face time with clients, and some interaction with colleagues, the optimal balance should be possible. Share your thoughts.
