CDG assists its client companies in three ways:

• Professional Training and Development
• Advisory and Consulting Services
• Speaking at your annual meeting, retreat or event

Training and Development

Many smaller consulting firms and internal consulting organizations have grown organically and cohesion is lacking. For example…

They are comprised of talented individuals with years of technical, industry, or product experience, but they have never been trained to be consultants!

• Consultants have been hired from a variety of consulting or technical organizations, but there is NO consistency in approach or best practices.
• Need for orientation of new hires with little or no “hands on” consulting experience
• Large consulting firms have internal learning and development resources to help ensure that their professionals receive the quality training that they need. Don’t your professionals need and deserve the same?

Advisory and Consulting Services

We are specialists in providing advisory services and consulting support to smaller consulting firms and internal consulting organizations. CDG’s professionals have assisted our clients with:

• Setting strategic direction and plan formulation
• Enhancing sales and marketing efforts
• Improving operations and methodology development

Is your business strategy focused and current? Do your internal processes and methodology align with the successful delivery of your services?

Many successful small and midsized consulting organization have grown organically, leveraging the skills and talents of the company’s key resources. As a result, the strategy of the company is often unclear, making it difficult to align the company’s direction with the external environment (i.e., client needs, service offerings, etc.) and internal planning (marketing, alignment with sales, resource planning, etc.). Questions like “What business are we in really?” often arise. This strategic internal/external alignment is foundational to the success of a growing consulting and advisory firm.

Internal consulting organizations will also benefit significantly from formulation of a strategy and establishing the internal tools that will support success. In many cases, internal consulting groups are having to “sell” their services internally, with the business area having to allocate budget to fund these services. Developing a reputation for quality through structured planning and delivery is the key to consistent success and long-term sustainability.
