The first thing to consider when looking for a consultant, it is his proven records, results, and activities by talking to other companies, managers and, in particular, raw materials and machinery’s suppliers. The value of the consultant, beside his knowledge, expertise and tailored advice is a genuine and serious independency from any external business interests or influences, which may affects the client. Working with a variety of businesses, a consultant has a much broader and deeper knowledge of business trends, industry challenges, new technologies and processes than any internal employees, always bringing an outside perspective. Consultants do not offer a one-size-fits-all solution, but through their experiences and knowledge can collect, analyse and synthesize information about a business, recommending adapted and practical solutions whether the issue is implementing a new technology or completing an existing project, considering the client’s readiness to change and available resources. Working closely with the client, the consultant, not being emotionally invested in the business operations, can truly identify the challenges to address and offer the most efficient solutions.
