This is something we have heard from founders way too often as consultants – “No one knows my business better than I do”.
|
To be honest, we agree.
|
So, why should CXOs even consider hiring us?
Here’s when you should hire a consultant >
1
For tasks that need solving right NOW
|
Consultants arm organizations with superpowers.
|
They jump right in at L1, burn the midnight oil and bring in a great talent pool of just what is needed.
|
In a 100% flexible setup.
|
This buys you critical time to build these skills in-house.
2
For funnel vision
|
Every consultant comes with a wealth of experience – an ETR (Earn That Right) – from 100s of engagements with diverse businesses.
|
The value is from not only the work they have done earlier.
|
It’s also what they have seen work elsewhere.
|
Save a CXO hours of re-do time.
3
For tasks that are just not as important today
|
Every CXO has a limited number of hours.
|
Successful organizations also tend to become tunnel-visioned with all resources pointed to the milestones.
|
But, there are a lot of other things that will become important in say, 2 years, but need effort.
|
Consultants become a no-brainer – flexible, focused, and accountable.
All things said, there are somethings consultants won’t do – which is run your business for you.
For everything else, I think they’re a great bet. We hire quite a few too.
