Solidifying infrastructure so you can scale your business
A common misconception about consultants is that they are overpriced con artists that care only about making money. Like any industry, there are some bad actors out there that do operate this way. However, for the most part, consultants are client-focused and genuinely care about helping others. They do this by humbly approaching the relationship with the client as a “partner” rather than “just a customer”. In doing so, both parties are better aligned with the ultimate goal of helping the company move forward.
Business Consultants Facilitate Change
Successful consultants facilitate change and bring about corporate alignment. This means having everyone on the same page, seeing the big picture, and moving in the right direction. Doxazo Consulting can help you achieve this alignment. We ensure your values are well-communicated and shared by everyone in your organization and that your mission, vision, strategy, and goals support the fulfillment of your company’s purpose.
The Challenge of Change
Change is necessary in growth. You may be wondering what negative impacts might come along with “becoming an aligned organization”. The fact is, change is difficult for some and you may meet some resistance (or be resistant yourself). Doxazo Consulting can help you determine the right people for the right positions within your company. This can involve shifting people around, optimizing your recruiting process, refining job expectations, training, reviewing, coaching, and methods of holding people accountable.
Combatting Challenges
It can be challenging to maintain company alignment without regression, especially if it isn’t caught and addressed early. Doxazo Consulting can help you implement systems, processes, and tools to minimize and prevent backsliding into the ways of inefficiency, chaos, and fighting fires. We can even remove some of the doubt and uncertainty in your decision making process. By helping you focus on meaningful data, we can give you the ability to identify variances and take corrective action before they become a real issue.
Last but not least, Doxazo Consulting can help you create the mechanism that will allow you to solve your business-related problems in-house. We don’t believe in creating “consultant dependency”. It is our aim to impart wisdom to others. We care about delivering positive results, and are committed to providing premium service for a reasonable price.
Why Partner with a Business Consultant?
Entrepreneurs are very capable people who aren’t afraid of failure. In fact, most of us took a huge risk stepping out on our own to start a business. Ironically, the characteristics that make us successful entrepreneurs (highly creative, professional, passionate, knowledgeable, and continuous learners) can also hold us back. It’s not uncommon that we feel we can tackle everything on our own. After all, “if you want something done right, do it yourself”, right? Wrong. This sort of mentality is not good for the old work-life balance. As the visionary of your organization, you’ve done your part by identifying that something needs to be done. At that point, it’s time to delegate and elevate!
Your time as an executive is valuable. You should have your team take on the day-to-day challenges your company is facing. They have been hired to work IN the business so you are able to work ON the business. However, when your team lacks the time, capacity, or expertise to solve your business-related issues, there’s no cause for concern. A consultant can offer the expertise and support you need.
Whatever you do, don’t let yourself get bogged down trying to “figure out” how to scale your business on your own. Partner with a business consultant to save yourself time and aggravation! You won’t regret it, the fees are a drop in the bucket compared to the additional value created for you and your stakeholders.
