II. Small Business Consulting - What do business
consultants do?
As a Cogency business consultant, our role is to help
businesses identify problems, and recommend solutions to these problems.
The University of Chicago’s Career and Placement services
defines business consultants as: “Problem solvers and advisors who contribute
an objective point of view. By using fact-based, analytically-driven thinking
to break problems down into components and solve each component, consultants
reach a single perspective on a problem”.
If you, as a business owner/manager, are not happy about
the way something is run or about the general direction your organization is
taking, you need to call in a Business Consultant

The demand
for consultancy has experienced an unprecedented surge in the last decade or
so. The reasons for this sudden popularity of any form of consulting are
numerous, but more often than not, it may be attributable to ‘getting expert
advice without being tied down to any long-term commitment’ - very similar to
hiring employees on very short-term contracts. This need is driven by the fact
that most individuals cannot be talented and knowledgeable in all aspects of
running a business. For example, a very capable Production Manager may not be
very good at Human Resource Management, or at Cross-Border Alliances.
