Consulting by Mentoring.

The traditional model of consulting often involves experts coming in to do the job, charging high rates, and then leaving without having increased the ability of the client to resolve the problem themselves the next time. This approach is costly for the client and unsustainable for both the client and the consultant.

An alternative approach - we call it ‘Consulting by Mentoring’ - offers a more holistic and sustainable solution. This approach focuses on building the skills and abilities of the client, rather than simply providing a one-time solution.

The goal of Consulting by Mentoring is to empower clients to become self-sufficient problem-solvers in a given domain. This is achieved by working closely with the client to understand their unique needs and challenges, and then providing guidance and support as they develop the skills and abilities needed to address those issues. Another aspect is the hand-over of tools like specific software pieces, methods, checklists, and so on, to make the customer truly benefit from the accumulated experience of the consultancy.

One of the key benefits of Consulting by Mentoring is that it can help clients to become more proactive and responsive to change. By building the skills and abilities of the client, they are better equipped to anticipate and address problems as they arise. This not only improves the client’s ability to solve problems on their own, but it also helps to create a more resilient and adaptive organization.

Another benefit of Consulting by Mentoring is that it can help to reduce costs. By empowering clients to solve problems on their own, the need for ongoing consulting services can be reduced. This not only saves money for the client, but it also helps to create a more sustainable and mutually beneficial relationship between the client and the consultant.

In conclusion, Consulting by Mentoring is a more effective and sustainable approach to consulting that focuses on building the skills and abilities of the client. By empowering clients to become self-sufficient problem-solvers, this approach can help to create more resilient and adaptive organizations, while also reducing costs. This ultimately reflects our mission to create sustainable value for the client.
