Organisations should consider using consultants when they lack specific in house expertise to solve identified problems, need a critical independent view, and are likely to benefit from exposure to industry best–practice.
Organisations should select a consultant who can co-develop customised (as opposed to off-the-shelf) and practical (as opposed to theoretical) solutions. Consultants should have a proven track record and demonstrated ability in not only developing practical solutions but also implementing them successfully.
