What is Consulting? What exactly do consultants do? • Consultants help clients address their most complex challenges by: – Developing executable strategies • A client needs a business strategy that not only meets their needs but is also feasible. – Driving positive operational change • Simply implementing change isn’t enough. A client needs help using the changes to improve their day to day operations in order to improve. – Transferring knowledge and skills • Clients need to be self-sufficient once we finish a project. • Consultants are hired because they provide: – Skills and knowledge outside of the clients’ competency – External objectivity when internal resources are faced with difficult decisions – Project delivery support to augment productivity of client personnel – Innovative solutions and perspectives or “outside of the box” thinking to develop more effective solutions -5 - Consulting Club Presentation CMD edits. pptx Why do companies hire consultants?
