SHIFT and Rise widen alliance into a four-part AI consulting push
SHIFT and Rise Consulting Group say they will deepen last year's tie-up across recruitment, sales, project staffing and AI-enabled consulting, with SHIFT already holding 33.19% of Rise and offering access to a customer base of more than 4,000 companies. The pair cite IDC Japan's forecast of 9.9% annual average growth in the domestic business consulting market from 2024 to 2029, but for now they still describe the earnings impact as minor.
