Could you define your Retainer Consulting?

Accepted Answer

• We represent a client company as an extension of the Management Team.​
 • This begins with complete understanding of the organization’s situation, objectives, and constraints.
 • We then represent the client company quietly and confidentially, sorting through the issues and problems that constrain the business.

Question 5

What can a business expect under your Diagnostic Consulting service?

Accepted Answer

• Sometimes you just can’t see the wood for the trees, no matter what you do or try, it feels that the world is battling against you.
 • More often than not you understand the problem, indeed you probably know the answer but finding the time to approach it objectively and turn the position round takes time, finance and sometimes skill that isn’t always in abundance; that’s where we come in.
 • We offer an unbiased appraisal of the situation, we seek to understand the constraints that the business and the staff operate under, the challenges they face and the difficulties in delivering what they are there to do.
 • We approach each business as unique and we spend most of our time listening and discussing and then checking that we have heard correctly; then and only then do we go away to check our facts.
 • Our findings are presented in the “real world” often we will offer alternative strategies but whatever the outcome we will show you a way forward.
 • A typical diagnostic review can be as short as one day, to the longer, project based analysis that may take several weeks.
