Selecting A Consultant

Since I am a consultant for the past three decades, I have often been asked about why I advocate organizations often employ the services of highly a special adviser, or any consultant, all to be careful at first. It really could be against their own personal self-interests, I think it is essential to any organization before selecting a consultant is to ask some very important questions.

1. We need a consultant, and we can buy? What we hope to obtain counsel, and it will cover expenses? This is something that can be done by volunteers from within the organization?

2. Consultant will cost or save us money? I usually organizations that benefit more than one consultant should pay for itself in terms of inform. In terms of how that is measurable, it really depends on the consultant is doing? For example, if a consultant to run a particular program, the organization time, money, energy, to save trouble, etc. should or should not have hired consultants.

3. How an operational consultant to help? If the organization believes it needs an operation or lack of, and need the help of this decision, this type of consultant should make the organization more efficient, create new programs to streamline operations, staff evaluation, and fiscal and financial affairs capacity, and examine priorities.

4. Many organizations 'master' rent to help them. The "consultant" often a little special arrangements, governance, products, computer programs, etc. for a consultant to "lock in" appears to be higher than sales are "long-term gig, "Be careful organization and generally should be avoided.

5. A consultant can be useful in terms of leadership training and development be? The right to choose one that is both worthy, honorable and specifically addresses the needs of the organization (as to opposed to trying to fit in the organization some prototypical "PEG"), there are probably as leadership development and training needed more than anything, the long-term viability and sustainability of an organization. This type of advisory organization that provides only for the first couple of times to make a formal program should be hired, and can be easily "duplicatable" and held by others. The program is to identify the potential leaders, leaders should include qualifications is developed, multi-leadership training, leadership development and staged a manual. If an advisor says that he give the program the individual to work in most cases, the person should be avoided, you must continue.

6. You know about how the consultant? Who recommended him?

7. Potential consultants to answer questions directly "user-friendly," understandable language, he does or does cliches rhetoric and resort to technical jargon?
