This week I spoke with a client who shared that they had never considered hiring a strategy or transformation contractor before. Because… They found it challenging and time-consuming, placing it in the 'too hard' basket. They acknowledged they really had no idea where to start or how to find top talent at short notice. They’d also heard horror stories of disgruntled consultants not being paid on time and mixed reviews of capability and delivery on projects. So in short, hiring contractors had been sidelined and projects put on the back burner. In the strategy and transformation market where top-tier talent is scarce, the average time to hire is over 44 days. These challenges resonate with many clients I've spoken to over the past few months, and it's been exciting to educate them about Future State Consulting's offering. With our immediately available strategy and transformation consulting community, we can turn around a shortlist within 24-48 hours. Our talent pool has been interviewed and vetted by us and we’ll consult with you to match the best available consultant for your project. Want to get short term gaps filled fast and projects off the ground? Let’s talk about how our model could support you or your business this year. #strategyconsulting #interimconsultants
