Using a Consultant

Bringing in the outside expertise of a consultant can solve problems and help you improve processes, products and profitability.

Choosing the right consultant for the job is half the battle. The other half, which this briefing covers, is to get the best possible results from the consultant. Obviously your approach will depend on whether the consultant has worked with you before, and how long, complex and costly the project will be.

This briefing covers:

• Preparing the brief for the consultant.
• The consultancy agreement, including fees and expenses.
• Managing the contract.
• Resolving any problems.
