Should companies engage in management consulting? If so, when should they do it?

Enterprises should recruit third-party management consulting agencies to formulate customized solutions suitable for the enterprise through the consulting team. Then, under the guidance of consultants, after the enterprise implements the improvement plan, it can fundamentally improve the quality of the enterprise and improve the enterprise. operating mechanism to enhance the dynamic adaptability of enterprises to the environment.

From a deeper perspective, it not only directly improves economic interests and management level, but more importantly, for an enterprise, whether it survives or develops, it ultimately depends on whether the enterprise can form a company with correct goals and goals. Adaptable operating mechanism. Therefore, the fundamental purpose of management consulting is to allow the enterprise to directly discover problems through the management system, find out the causes, and continuously optimize the enterprise management mechanism to achieve a virtuous cycle of the entire enterprise's operations.

Under the following circumstances, the general manager of the company recommends hiring a third-party management consulting agency:

1. When the company needs strategic adjustments. Some companies have the ability to adjust their strategies on their own, but they need investigation, analysis and demonstration by management consulting firms to prevent risks. When some business managers feel that they have lost their way and don't know where to go, they should ask the management consulting firm to adjust their development strategies.

2. The company suffers from "big business disease". Common problems: Unreasonable organizational structure and process design, shirking of responsibilities between departments, too many management levels, too complex procedures, poor processes, low efficiency, slow market/market response of the company, and reduced competitiveness. Wages and incentives have created a new "pot rice" as a consistent system for many years. At this time, it is faster to hand it over to a management consulting company than to solve it yourself.

3. When the enterprise needs to be transformed or suffers from "restructuring syndrome". Some enterprises, especially state-owned enterprises, due to poor profits, simply attribute the problem to the system and are hastily restructuring. However, after restructuring, more than 80% of enterprises did not have the expected "one-in-one operation". On the contrary, some enterprises still have problems after transformation, and even add new shortcomings. The management consulting company will introduce advanced concepts and mechanisms from external private enterprises and experience in solving similar problems from other state-owned enterprises to form a strong external force to accelerate problem solving.

4. When the company needs to be bigger and stronger. After several years of accumulation, some companies have reached a certain scale, but after reaching a certain level, they start to stand still and want to become bigger and stronger, but they are unable to break through and fall into a vicious cycle of repeated success. To break through the bottleneck and find a breakthrough. Management consulting companies will find a breakthrough as soon as possible and help you get out of the cycle.

5. When enterprises need informatization. Enterprise informatization is not about climbing up the hardware and software systems, but more importantly, rationalizing and optimizing the organizational structure and management process. Only on this basis can informatization be effective. Enterprise informatization, especially ERP, requires the intervention of management consulting companies. Software companies alone are not enough. The main reason for the low success rate of ERP in my country may be that software companies are playing a one-man show and mechanizing complex management issues.

6. When an enterprise expands rapidly and traditional management models and experience methods are not suitable, it is the best time to recruit a management consulting company. Enterprises have funds, markets, and management consulting companies that provide modern management concepts and methods, which can be said to be the icing on the cake.

7. When corporate performance declines and the root cause cannot be found, you should be determined to invite a management consulting firm as soon as possible. Do not wait until corporate management has deteriorated to a certain level before hiring a "doctor".

8. When employees complain a lot, employee turnover increases, and corporate culture needs to be improved, ask a management consulting company to diagnose this "chronic disease", find a "good way" to treat the root cause, and healthy the corporate "body".

9. When a company’s new product launch requires market research, product positioning, channel design, brand promotion, and terminal promotion, if it needs marketing consultation, it can recruit a management consulting company or find a marketing planning company.
