Why Consider an Independent Consultant?

Ready engagement of professionals who have deep skills and experience not readily available in-house but required to effectively drive your transformation program and increase the likelihood of attaining its objectives & desired outcomes.

Most independent consultants have decades of experience serving clients on transformation programs like yours and will share their objective perspectives with your team. They are also less likely to be constrained by organizational politics or the advancement of personal agendas.

Given their extensive experience leading numerous transformations and initiatives, independent consultants typically have the deep journey and program management skills, reducing the need for in-house team members to perform those activities.

Many independent consultants are skilled in executive alignment, organization change management and communication capabilities to help the organization and impacted team members successfully navigate change and progress from awareness to adoption at pace.

Experienced independent consultants offer assets that will help jumpstart key activities and deliverable development, including approaches, frameworks, straw-model solution options, and templates to accelerate the pace of program progression.

Independent consultants are engaged to complete defined activities and deliverables and achieve agreed, measurable outcomes. When the project is complete, they move on; avoiding the need for future role placement determination or severance.

Engaging independent consultants allows organizations to respond with flexibility to meet its transformation program needs; additionally, it can help save both time and money for onboarding and training. Independent consultants can also help save on the costly fees of ‘big-box’ consulting firms.
