An article by Jake Fox of Whitecap Consulting. From filling a short term staffing gap to strategy re-focus to the implementation of a major programme of organisational structural change, consultants can provide valuable expertise and insights to help companies achieve their goals and execute a strategy. Ini Abimbola But when is the right time to hire a consultant, how do you choose a good consultant, and what on-going steps should you take to ensure you get the best out of a client consultant relationship?  External validation : Consultants will have a broad overview, understanding, and external perspective. A second opinion can provide reassurance prior to making a key business decision.
