“Why would we hire a consultant?”
1. To supplement staff time – Short-term projects shouldn’t be burdened with long term employment agreements
2. To supplement staff expertise – You hired your staff for specific work, leave their focus where it counts and NOT exploring unchartered territory
3. To ensure objectivity – A consultant might just be that “outside looking in” perspective that you need
4. To ensure credibility – Maybe your project needs directional support from an industry expert just to get you moving in the right direction
