Why would an organisation use consultants?
In our experience, our clients have
the following reasons for using impartial consultants whose values
are compatible with their organisation: |
| |
|
|
|
|
Knowledge and experience |
|
Our client wants to know how to
improve things. They want objective views and best-practice
experience -- more than they have available in-house -- about how to
achieve changes, and how to avoid failure. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Skills in delivering |
|
Our client has a clear idea of
what they want to do. They require consultants to bring
experience of how to achieve things quickly, build skills in their
team, and monitor the quality of the work as it progresses. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Resource
availability |
|
Our client has well-framed plans
for what they want to do, but lacks sufficient immediately available
resources, and employs consultants to help in managing and staffing
their project. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Internal politics |
|
Organisational change is
particularly subject to internal politics. In such
circumstances organisations want an impartial external view to help
achieve progress, and to avoid involving stakeholders in unnecessary
conflict. |
