WHAT IS BUSINESS CONSULTING?
Business consulting assesses an organization’s business model and infrastructure to create an action plan and strategy to maximize productivity, business development, service, and management of finances. We focus on delivering solutions to improve areas such as marketing, budgeting, supply chain & logistics, human resources, employee development, company culture, employee retention, and more.
THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BUSINESS COACHING AND BUSINESS CONSULTING
A business coach helps you assess your personal and professional progress and goals and holds you accountable for achieving them to help you advance in your career. With a business coach, clients are encouraged to engage in leadership and take decisive action with the knowledge and strategies suggested by their coach. Generally, business coaches help you take steps to maintain a successful and sustainable business.
A business consultant takes leadership by delivering strategies and action plans to implement improvements. For example, a business consultant will assess an HR department’s hiring practices using a professional behavioral assessment, interpret the data, and use the results to develop a new hiring practice and training program to spot and develop talent for their organization.
WHEN SHOULD YOU HIRE A BUSINESS COACH OR CONSULTANT?
Clients who hire a business coach seek knowledge and mentorship to manage their businesses sustainably. Business coaches encourage entrepreneurs to make informed decisions based on their options to improve their organizations using the professional advice and mentorship provided.
