Our Business Consulting Services

 They often want a different perspective

You know how sometimes when you’re dealing with an issue in your life, you turn to friends and family for their opinions? Companies often need this, too, especially when making tough decisions. Sometimes clients have a perspective on how to solve the problem they are facing but want to make sure that what they’re thinking is correct (or that they aren’t so close to the challenge that they’re missing the obvious answer). So, they turn to consultants to come in and provide their opinion and offer different solutions to achieve it.

Sometimes the problems companies need solving are really important, but they don’t necessarily have the manpower to focus on them. Companies still have to focus on their day-to-day operations, after all, and new projects typically require looking at employees’ core job responsibilities. Recruiting new employees to fill these gaps doesn’t always make sense either, seeing as many of these projects are one-offs or fixed term projects.

In instances like this, consultants basically serve as temporary, highly skilled employees. With the range of skills on offer, it is often cheaper than having to employ different people for their specific skills.  By using consultants, companies don’t have to pull their employees away from their actual jobs.

Perhaps the most common reason that companies hire consultants is to gain access to a specialised skill set that might not exist in house.  By engaging a consulting firm, you get access to a group of professionals that have skills and experience ranging from process design to finance organisation structures.

These skills would not only be expensive to hire for, but the company might not have enough work to keep those employees busy year round.  Thanks to consultants, companies can bring in that skill set on demand when they need it.

Sometimes, when companies are working on a challenging problem or a controversial project, it can be hard for them to make decisions or take the necessary actions without getting wrapped up in emotions or politics. Bringing in consultants, provides an unbiased eye and allows for complete delivery of the project in hand.

Structuring Our Offering

We understand inviting an outsider in can be difficult, but have seen the benefits that so many of our clients have received to know that it works.  The service is provided by our most experienced staff, usually at Director level.  They have the experience of running or consulting for many businesses and bring together a wealth of knowledge and ability.

Our service is usually delivered using a package that is based on your requirements, that sits within the following framework:

  • Business Consultancy – typically responding to an issue or working on a defined project.  We meet with you to understand the particular project, it’s aims and challenges.  We then work together over a period of days and weeks to find the right solution and present it.   Throughout the course of the project we will push forward and complete effectively.

  • Regular meetings – where typically we meet with you periodically (normally monthly or quarterly) and we review the performance of the company and the impact that the newly implemented solutions have had, together.  Our role is often about asking the ‘difficult’ questions and then helping the business owners to figure out the next steps.

  • Ongoing – we work within your organisation on a regular basis to implement the requirements of change.   With our knowledge and experience, we can work with you to move forward, effecting change quickly and within set timescales and budgets.   This is something we get involved with often and it allows us to really bring about change when armed with the knowledge gained over a longer relationship.
