When should you hire a business consultant?

Did you know ~85% of executive leadership teams spend less than one hour per month on business strategy?¹ Well, that’s the reality in most businesses as business leaders are stretched too thin, and this lack of attention to strategy leads to both poorly defined strategies and a lack of intentionality in execution.

While business consultants are not constantly needed, it’s imperative to engage them when:

1.  Internal resources are stretched thin and the business needs a go-forward strategy for mission-critical initiatives

2. Undergoing major transformations and expert guidance is required to ensure a smooth transition

3. Seeking an objective perspective on critical business operations, such as workforce planning and reorganization

4. Benchmarking against competitors to improve efficiency and streamline operations.

5. Preparing for a major market expansion and need expert insights to minimize risks and maximize opportunities

… and generally any situations that call for specialized expertise, objective perspective, quick turnarounds, and competitive intelligence
