A business process consultant can be a bridge to improved productivity, increased customer service, and greater profitability for your organization. It’s essential to understand what you need from a consulting project to avoid frustrations later on.
Here are some of the questions you should ask your potential business process consultant so that both parties know where they stand.
1. Do You Have Experience in the Industry I Work in?
You need a business process consultant who understands your business and has experience working with others like it. An experienced process consultant will know which questions to ask to know how your company works, what problem you are trying to solve, and what you would like to accomplish.
2. What Kind of Return on Investment Should I Expect?
The consultant’s responses to this question should include factors such as:
- How much money he or she expects the project will save
- How many labor hours it will cut out of your payroll
- Any other relevant factor that will help you determine whether this project will payback for your business
3. Are There Industry-Specific Tools or Resources You Can Recommend?
A good process consultant knows that, even in industries with a wide range of products and services, finding the resources can help a company accomplish its goals.
4. What Is Your Level of Experience Working with Clients?
Although process consultants can come from a wide range of backgrounds, you want to make sure that the one on your team has plenty of experience helping clients meet and exceed expectations.
