To date, in this area it is customary to distinguish three methods of consulting services:
Expert. One of the most common methods is that a company hires an expert with the specialization they need to find a problem and prepare a solution. The expert analyzes the information provided to him and prepares recommendations in the form of an action plan. After that, company representatives independently implement the recommended solution and evaluate the result;
Process. This method of consulting for business differs from the expert method in that the consultant not only analyzes the problem and selects the optimal solution, but also participates in its implementation together with the employees of the client company. The process method most often involves long-term cooperation, while the expert method can be a one-time short-term procedure;
Training. This method of consulting services differs from the abovementioned ones in that experts do not look for a solution to the problem on their own, but teach it to the company’s employees. In the process of training consulting consultants transfer to clients theoretical and practical information that helps them analyze work situations and find optimal solutions. Thus, its main purpose is to train and improve the qualifications of personnel.
