(Zz) about consulting 4

There are many types of consultation

Now anyone and any company can say they are consulting institutions.
To understand the information of various consulting companies, using the Internet is undoubtedly the first choice, and the company's website is quite detailed.
Detailed information. Next, let's take a look at the summary in the typical textbooks such as vault and wetfeet. Followed by the third lecture
Expand interpersonal communication.

What I want to talk about is that the type and scope of consulting services are increasing and the number and type of consulting companies are increasing.
Think of an idea, use exquisite report packaging, start a fashionable name and sell it to the customer. This is the consulting industry. If
If you say that you work at , everyone will "wow". You know that you are in an industry full of high salaries and self-calculation. However
If you say you are a consulting company, people will ask what company you are and what type of consulting. Now anyone, any company
It can be said that you are a consulting organization. Consultants from different companies look very similar in terms of methods and clothing. This is possible
It brings about some confusion. However, these specific derivatives can be understood as the social division of labor in consulting services.
The other side is the number of local consulting companies developed in a specific social and economic environment in various countries.
Large.

For the re-division of labor in consulting services, from the most traditional management and strategic consulting (now this classification method has become increasingly
(Paste), and gradually derive consulting from a certain field, such as financial consulting, human Consulting, IT Consulting, real estate consulting, etc.
. These are the rationality of existence. For example, for real estate consulting, the real estate industry is one in any country.
This industry has many unique characteristics. Customers in this field often have problems, not a few
Intelligent consultants with super-fast learning ability can deal with it. Instead, they need a group of experts who have in-depth research in this field.
Processing is more effective. Consulting companies in the real estate field are famous for the "five major international banks". If you are interested, you can
Study the relevant information, or pay attention to the previous post. Of course there are also many local real estate consulting companies (such
Sales planning, industrial land use, office buildings, property management, etc.), the reason is that this industry is different in different countries, the field is wide and tricky
Yes.

Consulting companies are one of the easiest types of companies to register

There are countless consulting companies that can't tell how many types of consulting companies there are. When you observe why
In addition to the social division of labor mentioned above, another reason is that the consulting company has a low threshold and a high profit. The consulting company is
One of the easiest types of companies to register, the minimum registered capital of two or more companies in China is 30 thousand.
The capital account and two ID cards are provided, and the basic account and tax account are handled... The company was almost started. If you
If you are in trouble, you can entrust an intermediary company to take you through thousands of service fees, and you can complete any formalities or even work location.
Okay (you can even find an office with a name. You don't have to pay the rent, but you just need to handle the business license review ). The other
In terms of consulting companies, the profits are also high. Although the consulting fees of local consulting companies are not as high as that of several foreign big names
But according to the necessity that the profits of political and economic enterprises tend to be average. The following table shows how to import these international
Compare the giant's revenue/number of employees in the table (revenue is the company's total revenue, and employee is the total number of employees,
Including consultants and non-consulting such as admin, research, and production.
And tax. It can be seen that the per capita consultation for strategic operation is higher)

With the free transfer of capital, knowledge and manpower, some consulting companies that are currently in a dominant position will be under competitive pressure.
Therefore, we must actively improve ourselves. It is similar for individuals. The key is whether they have pressure or sense of competition.
Of course, large consulting companies have spent countless costs in creating their own brands over the past decade or even decades.
In order to establish expert authority in an industry, these companies also conduct regular Industry Research (not directly commissioned by customers
Mostly for PR or later Project Support) publishing publications, topics, and other publication. However, in another extreme,
There are also many individual consultants who need to recommend themselves to customers through verbal publicity. If you search for management questions on Baidu
You can't see an international consulting company after turning over n pages, because you pay Baidu rankings and use the network to find potential customers.
Front exposure is also one of the methods. Each business model creates value, has its own suitable customers, and has its own defects,
The advantages and disadvantages depend on your values (although international consulting giants have a lot of Halo, they also have local consulting organizations
The organization is not as strict as fast-track ). If you are looking for a job or are designing a career goal
It is necessary to determine which type of consulting you are suitable for or whether you are suitable to consult after you fully understand your situation.
Which one should you choose? A good career plan should be based on a correct understanding of yourself, master as much as possible
The market information is made later, and cannot be blindly changed. More people with experience, learn from the best often makes you suddenly open-minded, listen to your words to read a lot of books. For example, when you look at a company in the industry
When you are a reputable consulting company, pay attention to the following points,

1. exaggerate the team. There may be only a few Members in the team, but a bunch of university professors and corporate executives are listed as full-time consultants.
In fact, these people only care not to ask, but the boss's friends or a project.

2. Virtual track record. Track record is the company's past performance. Many professional servicefi
Rm promotional materials will list famous customers who have partnerships with them. It seems that they can play any international event.
Consult your ass. However, it is possible that they have done a project for a small branch under the big group, so as to make things bigger.

There are still a lot of situations like false, empty, and float. I am never good at using others, so I will not list them any more. Actually written
These also indirectly show us the gap between Chinese consulting companies and successful international consulting companies. I sincerely hope that my fellow citizens will
A bloody path (Hey, hereArticleNext to it, the professional consulting company is a friend of mine,
That guy is sitting next to me ).

Almost all consulting companies promote themselves as "thought leaders"

When the customer's management chooses a large company, their decisions are not easily questioned. "Nobody ever got fired
Buying IBM "is an advertisement that has been used by IBM. Let's give it to consumers at ease. At the same time, the consulting company's reputation is also
It will help them stay strong because people are more likely to respect and trust large companies. When you look at the consulting company's
During internal operation, you will also find the disadvantages of branding. Like other brand owners, the consulting company must maintain
Their reputation is that they are hard to accept big jobs that exceed their core competitiveness. In order to maintain the brand, consultants
The workflow is strictly consistent. The consultants who undertake the same task repeatedly must be consistent.
The effect of the middleware, especially the strategy formulation process, is extremely variable. No research has been conducted, but process 1
The nature will limit "think out of the box" (although consultant thinks they are smart enough, they always persuade
It is not easy for them to make corrections), so brand is a constraint for companies to make relatively conservative rather than radical recommendations. So with colleagues
During the chat, they agreed that most consultants are not suitable for start-ups. Because it is too rational to take risks and try to start a business successfully.
It will lead you to miss the opportunity and miss the competitive advantage. Consulting companies will not provide labs for your adventure because they want to maintain
Brand Protection, you must comply with the company's approach. Personalization provides innovation and experimentation, but this method is more risky.
Large. Generally, there are few cases where customers require consultants to provide ideas because they cannot be quantified. This may be your expertise, but it is not the expertise of a consulting company. The customer entrusts a consulting company to reach a certain level

The quality of the cheek is the amount of zinc in the CAP, and the brain is full? (Methodology ).

In addition, during the internationalization process, the customer wants to find world-class professionals who do not want to invite these consultants
They are not far away, and even working on the same subway with them. The complexity of the international market, different consumer hearts
Different regulations and labor markets mean that consultants are better at familiarizing themselves with situations similar to globalization in other countries
Solution. The consultant told me that I was not smart enough, I had to have an MBA to prove it, and I had to make a few calls.
This thick framework and model method have also participated in the project track record, otherwise the customer may not trust them
. There are also a lot of smart guys in this circle. That's right, but more often they are more valuable in the industry.
Experience honed. Everyone with knowledge can say that they understand management. However, errors often occur, not because
The tool itself is not good, but because it has been abused naively.

This reminds me of a report that I have read before, "Beat Yang Shaofeng," talking about this 22-Year-Old Fujian
How can people use "ideas" and gimmicks to "defeat"  solutions designed for China Unicom to become famous?
For some innovative and structured methods, I would like to generalize. A common criticism for consultants is that they create
Newest is not enough, but most customers prefer to cooperate with consulting companies that can provide structured methods, because it is more efficient.
To some extent, the project results can be guaranteed.
