Ten Reasons to Hire a Consultant!

 

To bring temporary or on-going expertise that supplements, not supplants, your staff.

To help with a special need; to do the specialized work.

To obtain expertise that you need and to deliver quality that you might otherwise not be able to afford to hire.

To provide confidentiality or to inject an objective voice.

To bring in the “outside expert”.  Sometimes leadership perceives that it’s only the opinion of “the expert” that counts.

To see the situation through fresh, disinterested eyes, without the filters and preconceived notions the internal people may have.

To enable all staff and volunteers to fully participate in  a process such as strategic planning, without one of them having to wear a facilitator’s or coordinator’s hat too.

To achieve the efficiency of having an expert for a short period of time.  Most organizations have needs that require specialized skills, but which are not sufficient in scope to justify a full-time employee.

To get the job done efficiently.  A consultant, guided by expertise and experience, is more likely to get the job done right the first time.

To model and offer learning—something that a staff person may not be able to do as freely just because of perceived power issues, hierarchical constraints, etc.

To ask the right questions.
