Consultants bring 4 key elements to the change process
- Specific skills in evaluating the return on investment
- First hand experience with Best Practices
- Additional management resources
- Cross-functional authority
Evaluating return on investment
Consultants have specific expertise in evaluating the costs (in terms of both time and money) as well as the return on investment for initiatives. This assures that resources are focussed on the initiatives that will have the greatest impact to the bottom line.
Experience with best practices
Consultants have experience in a wide range of industries facing a broad spectrum of challenges. Working with the client team, consultants draw on this first hand experience with best-in-class solutions to identify the best path forward to resolve the organization’s specific issues.
Additional management resources
Consultants augment the client’s existing management team and provide dedicated project management for the change initiatives. This ensures that the organization does not lose focus on current business during the change process.
Cross-functional authority
Consultants have the cross-functional authority necessary to implement integrated solutions. This allows the organization to solve complex problems by addressing multiple functional areas concurrently.
