But why should we hire a consultant? Cant we do this work ourselves?
The boards and senior management teams of nonprofits and local government bureaus may occasionally find themselves at a crossroads and need some assistance in figuring out what to do next.
These crossroads often appear during periods of transition, such as when an organization experiences cycles of growth or shrinkage, changes in funding resources or opportunities, or transitions in leadership.
It is often more efficient and cost-effective to hire a consultant with the requisite knowledge, skills and experience in a particular field, rather than divert staff resources to first develop the necessary expertise and then carry out the work.
