The Benefits of Using a Consultant
Business Consultants are a useful tool for managers and business owners alike. Having a local touchpoint to help your organization fill a need without requiring a position to be opened and filled with a persistent salary is often a great solution to solve a problem set or help fill a skill gap. You can think of a consultant as a fractional resource, one that you can use when you need it and take a break when you don’t. This is an even more important tool in a tough economy as it allows you to outpace your competitions talent without the same commitment required in a traditional hire.
We believe that there can be a stigma associated with taking advantage of this critical tool; the loss of learning or impacting your existing talent. We always take a coaching-styled approach in our engagements. We are there to help your organization fill skill gaps and provide experiential learning for your team to help them grow and become more self sufficient in these problem areas. While we can’t always control your organization or team’s openness to learning and following through with the process controls recommended for future proofing our recommendations, our goal is always to coach and train you and your workforce for a lasting implementation and closure of a skill gap.
We always keep our core mission at the forefront of our process and engagements, to Drive Growth in the Greater Spokane Area and Inland Northwest, and help Local Families and Businesses Thrive!
