Management consulting deals with a plethora of business challenges from competitive business intelligence to defining the corporate strategy to improving manufacturing & operational excellence. We will explore some of the key steps in the consulting process and also discuss some of the types of consulting assignments Adam Global has expertise on identifying the right information
A major challenge in management consulting is to get into the root cause of the business problem identified within an organization. And this makes the Discovery phase which includes identifying the appropriate approach, gathering the data and the synthesis of this information, one of the most important steps in the consulting process. Based on years of experience, we have developed a proprietary business research framework to approach a business challenge.
The first step of the discovery phase is to review the existing business process and related documentation. Once this information is gathered, consultants use their industry experience and their frameworks & tools to qualitatively analyze this data to discover the trends and patterns. The next step is to conduct exhaustive formal and semi-structured qualitative interviews with the key stakeholders including the firm’s customers. It is very important to note that asking the right questions is the crux to gather relevant information consistently focused on the purpose of the project. Other data gathering methods include factual and objective data from the company records and audit statements, surveys, etc.
In a consulting assignment, the prime focus is on identifying what is causing the problem rather than jumping into action plans. One of the most popular methods used to analyze is the “Causal Analysis” which tries to discover variable relationships between the current business conditions and causes for it. As it may identify, there might multiple effects due to one cause or vice versa.
