Some people will say, if companies know what their problems are, why should they consult companies? However, shouldn't the starting point for enterprises to consult consulting companies be to find problems? Enterprises should have a certain understanding of their own problems, and only when they think that this problem will affect the normal operation of enterprises will they go to consulting companies. In other words, enterprises should know what their needs are. This is the premise of finding a suitable consulting company. Because not every consulting firm is good at solving your problems.
In addition, enterprises should do some research and understanding on the consulting industry in advance. These information enterprises can be obtained from the communication between consulting companies and customers, from the self-introduction of consulting companies, and of course from neutral third parties. For example, Gartner Group, Enterprise Resource Management Research Center and other institutions have departments dedicated to consulting companies. Enterprises can also look at the past customers of consulting companies and find out the places similar to their own situations.
Third, I think corporate budget is also very important. In reality, not every enterprise has deep pockets, and some enterprises must carefully calculate their funds. Although we can't be trapped by the budget, we can ask some consulting companies with low quotations for consultation, but the budget is a very important decision-making factor when making decisions for two equally excellent consulting companies.
