A consultant is a person who provides professional and expert advice, analysis, and recommendations to organizations. Based on their own knowledge and experience in specific industries, a consultant can give valuable insights, ideas, and opinions to the client to improve the business.

A consultant works independently from the client and is not an employee of the client. Therefore, a seasoned consultant brings new perspectives and knowledge to the business that the client may lack in-house.

Expert opinion: To be guided or mentored by a subject matter expert would be an advantage for your business. Our diverse team of industry experts can help you with high-level decisions towards improving your business by giving their insights or viewpoints based on proven experience and best practices.

Cost-effective: Hiring a full-time employee will cost you more than hiring a business consultant for only a certain period. Also, you can easily choose to terminate the consulting services when no longer needed.

Flexible: A full-time employee may only be an expert or specialize in one field. However, when you opt for a consulting company, you can choose from a diverse team of experts better fit to help you in a specific project.

More experience: Usually, you may encounter a more experienced consultant in a consulting company, probably with a higher level of knowledge than someone you may hire as a full-time employee.

Network: Since business consultants are mostly experienced and have worked with multiple clients, industries, and partners, they can bring the network they have accumulated over their past projects. Your business can take advantage of these external resources as well.

• If you need new ideas and fresh perspectives.
• If your business has not been meeting its target goals.
• If you need an expert to help you on a project and do not have someone on your team to provide insights.
• If you are new in business or a startup that needs assistance in planning and other strategies.
• If you need business transformation.
• If you want your business to grow or expand and need an expert’s knowledge to plan and execute strategic approaches.

Commonly, we can determine the scope of a project during the early stages of discussion with our potential client. Typically, this would be the assessment phase, where we get to know the basic details of a project.

The scope will rely on the complexity of a project and the business’s goals. Plus, we also look at some factors such as the business challenges, company size, resources, and others. We always make sure to identify the needs and requirements of a project and our clients in order to develop an effective plan for their goals.

• Initial consultation with our client (also getting to know the client) to know about the project details.
• Assess the project details and the client’s goals, challenges, plans, etc.
• More sessions with the client to further discuss the needs, requirements, strategies, and others.
• Draft an initial plan or proposal based on the discussions.
• Incorporate client’s feedback in the plan and revise the plan as needed.
• Follow-up on other deliverables that may be required.
• Finalize the business plan according to the agreed discussions.
• Provide ongoing assistance to your organization during project implementation.
• Work with the client if there are any updates needed in the plan.
• Analyze the results of the project and provide a report as needed.
• While providing support during a project, we also settle knowledge transfer so all the good results will be sustainable.
• Again, we check in with our client every now and then to ensure that the plan is working smoothly and effectively.
