Management Consulting in Operations Strategy and Supply Chain With 10 years of Operational Excellence work in Management Consulting and 7 years of driving Excellence work in a corporate context I had recognized that there are things that can be done better both from the consulting side as well as from the client side. From a client side I would be looking for deep subject matter expertise and guidance in areas where we missed internal expertise. However most larger consulting agencies are not really equipped to sell senior advisory services, but are more inclined to package projects in larger initiatives where most of the work is carried out by consultants. If you would be able to “body shop” senior advisory time, it would always be with a quite scary price tag. What if we can sell senior advisory type of consulting services without any desire to “scale up the account”, but to only provide the specific bits that the client miss? What if we can peel off all overhead to sell these services at rates that our clients can endure over time? Wouldn’t that give a long term win-win partnership? I certainly think so and that is exactly the ambition with Heron Consulting. We will never be a large consulting company and we will never have the capacity to do all the heavy lifting in the projects. The actual project work is a great learning opportunity that we would not want to take away from our clients. This level of teamwork in the project is also the best foundation for an effective change process. – Thomas Häger, Founder and CEO of Heron Consulting AB
