What are the benefits of having a business consultant?

Consultants work closely with business owners, executives, and managers to help identify challenges, offer advice, and propose practical solutions.

Cost Savings

When you hire a consultant, you pay only for the services that you need, when you need them. This can provide substantial savings over hiring a salaried employee, with the same level of expertise, to complete similar tasks.

Further, consultants can identify areas where you are currently spending more than you need to, and help you cut costs.

Time Savings

The experience of consultants means that they know best practices already.. With a consultant, there is no need for business owners to reinvent the wheel or lose valuable time to something that can be completed by an expert.

Expertise

​The main values of consultants include their knowledge, expert skills, and influence. Because consultants work with a variety of businesses, they may have a much broader and deeper knowledge of business trends, industry challenges, and new technologies and processes, than internal employees.

Objectivity

The experience of consultants means that they know best practices already.. With a consultant, there is no need for business owners to reinvent the wheel or lose valuable time to something that can be completed by an expert.

Customization

Consultants do not offer a one-size-fits-all solution. Their value comes in learning about each client’s business and goals, and tailoring advice and strategy consulting to the specific challenges that the business faces.

This customization means that a consultant’s solutions are much more effective than generic advisory services. 

Unsure about Hiring a Business Consultant?

Despite the benefits of business consulting services, some business owners may be wary of engaging them. Some business owners may feel that consultants cannot tell them anything that they don’t already know. Other business owners and managers may reject consultants out of a discomfort with sharing the business’s problems with an outsider.

However, both concerns can be alleviated by choosing the right consultant for your business, one whose expertise will make a real difference to your firm’s growth. This is why a consultant with expertise in industrial and organizational psychology is such a valuable asset to your business. Not only will you be receiving the business expertise you need but you will also have a consultant who understands the unique emotional stresses that executives and business owners experience and are equipped to assist navigate these stresses.

Choosing the Right Consultant

The Journal of International Management Studies identifies the following key skills for consultants:

  • Capacity to cognitively collect, synthesize, and analyze information about a business

  • Empathy for the client’s situation

  • Discretion about the client’s operations

  • Adaptation to the client’s readiness for change and available resources

  • Ability to “read” the client’s environment and fit in

 

Consultants should understand your motives for engaging them and should approach the consulting work as a partnership. Development of this partnership can be the key to a business owner saving time and money and reducing stress, while positioning the company for longevity and success. This is why having a consultant with training in both business and psychology is so beneficial. With an industrial and organizational psychologist as your consultant you are getting the business expertise you need with the added benefit of having a psychologist to relate to you, your clientele, and your employees.
