a consultant is a temporary paid employee who had been hired for a specific
task and only for a time frame.
The best possible method of
streamlining the tasks of a consultant is to have a memorandum of
understanding of the specific tasks and the time and task specified being
mentioned in clarity between both the parties involved.The more specific matter
in the memorandum of understanding to be mentioned is the confidentiality
matters of concerns and a consultancy can gather enough information about your
company in the small time frame he is associated with your business.
There may be the rarest
incident of matters of confidence being leaked out to your competitors on the
completion of a consultancy tasks and that may affect the business in the long
run.
All confederacy and alliance of
the consultancy with your employees should be a matter of concern to any
businessman who may be associating his self with a consultant and a code of
conduct with the employee had to be inscribed beforehand and most of the
consultants work in small markets and confidential matters regarding your
company can be passed on to your competitors and a consultant will think twice
if he had signed a confidentiality
agreement.
The two types in a consultant
are the One man show and the team or consultancy firm and usually, the solo
Consultants may be a Subject matter expertise and can be working with various
other business for a living and a consultancy firm is a team effort of expert
individuals.
Request for past records of a consultant and-and references of the past
clients' list and do not be carried away by the big names list a consultant may
give and just because he had worked for big names like Wipro or Reliance it
does not mean the consultant will know Mr.Azim
Premji or Mr.Mukesh Ambani Personally.
Apprehend the thought and let
the consultant understand working for small and concerns like yourself and do not
work with a consultant who cannot fathom the idea that the
universe does revolve around Wipro and Reliance only or for that matter Google.
Understanding the client list
of a consultant and the time he may spare for your
business is vital in the partnership of any concern with a consultancy and the
level of expertise and team strength is to be gauged in a consultancy and the
time the consultancy firm can or may be able to spare for your consultation and
the quickness in responding to your quires will be crucial questions that are
to be asked before signing an agreement with a consulting firm and a bit of
caveat from experienced business man who have hired overly invasive consultants do not hire a consultant who has just yourself as a client.
If the work of a consultant is technology based and have a clear
understand to be taught to yourself and your team try and be self-sufficient
with the little time you may have in your association with the client.
By engaging your staff in the
training process you are self-sufficing in your concern and curtailing expenses
incurred with your associations with a consultancy in the future.
Other matters of concern in
clarity before signing a contract with a consultancy are
Expenses injured in the process
of consultation.
Detailed report on regular
intervals to be submitted to the authority of supervision.
Propriety authority in all
levels of consultation to the business who had hired the consultant.
