How to Select the Right Consulting Firm for Your Project
                     How to Select the Right Consulting Firm for Your Project
Define Your Goals
Do you need strategic planning to set your course for the future? 
Executive coaching to increase effectiveness and leadership capacity? 
Assessments to reduce turnover and improve performance? Leadership 
training to turn B players into As? Work with one person or the entire 
leadership team?
Start the process by defining exactly what type of assistance you need. 
You’re looking for results, so be clear on what your expectations are.
Look at experience
The best consultants have been around the block a few times. You want 
to leverage their broad experience with other people, companies and 
industries to maximize the impact on your situation. Great consultants 
have the ability to see patterns and bring both proven approaches and 
outside-the-box thinking to your challenge.
Make sure you connect
The consulting relationship should be a very close one. That only 
happens when there is an open and positive rapport. Spend the time to 
get to know your potential consultant.  Look at it this way: the two of 
you are going to embark on a long road trip together. Make sure you are 
compatible so you enjoy the ride. You’ll get where you’re going faster.
Ask for references
Good consultants have a long list of happy customers. Talk with current 
and past accounts to learn more about what the experience was like and 
how effective it really was.
Commit to the time
Some consultants meet face-to-face for an hour, twice a month. Others 
meet for a few hours at a time, once a month. Some use video calls to 
eliminate travel and simplify meeting times. Regardless of the format, 
make sure you commit to not only the meeting time but also the time 
needed to work on new skills.
