Project Management and Consulting

Project Management and Consulting

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in consulting services in our country. Organizations and enterprises receive support from experts or companies in many areas - from branding to marketing, from human resources management to accounting.

What is consulting? In its simplest form, consulting is the work of transferring the knowledge, skills and experience of people or individuals specializing in a particular field to the organization they serve. The most important issue here is expertise. In addition, the knowledge possessed by the person or firm providing consulting services must be distinctive, innovative and add something new to the recipient of the services. In addition, consultants should take care of the interests of the organization to which they provide services, subject to the principle of impartiality, as well as develop management strategies, sharing the results with the organization.

Today, each enterprise may not be able to maintain a sufficient number of experts in its own staff or in some cases prefer to receive consulting services to meet temporary needs. The main consulting services that your business needs can be listed as follows:

• Project consulting
• Advising on research and development
• Consulting on information technology
• Consulting on project management issues

In the basic consulting process, the client's needs are first identified. Then a mutual agreement is reached on the description of the work, the service required and the solutions expected in the process of providing this service, a contract is signed and the process of procuring the service begins. Finally, the defined and agreed work is carried out by the consultant within a specified timeframe and the result of the service is presented to the managers in the form of a report.
