Many companies hire consultants to tap into strategic thinking — seeing the big picture, identifying scenarios, choosing options, and creating game plans. You have developed repeatable processes, methodologies and tools to ensure efficiency, scalability, and profitability. However, you recognise the limitations of the existing business model.

• Consulting is labor intensive, humans are the fundamental source of research, analysis, recommendations, process definition, process management, and facilitation.
• Billable time-based business model which encourages lengthy, overstaffed engagements to maximize revenue.
• With the increasing pace of change, the moment a research report, competitive analysis, or strategic plan is delivered to a client, its relevance rapidly diminishes as new trends, issues, and innovations emerge.

The models, templates, and tools of consulting firms have historically been kept “secret” and locked away as intellectual capital. The “commoditisation” of just about everything makes that anyone can access and apply “best practices” on their own.
