Challenges Consulting Businesses Face

If any of these sound familiar, you are not alone. Most consulting businesses deal with these every day.

Proposals that take days to assemble because pricing, scope, and terms live in different documents

Utilization tracking that requires manual timesheets nobody fills out on Friday

Client relationships owned by individual consultants, not the firm

Project profitability invisible until the engagement ends and the numbers are crunched

Knowledge management nonexistent — lessons learned vanish when consultants move on
