The Unique Relationship Between Consultants and Their Expert Networks
With some of the world’s most demanding clients to serve, consultants leverage expert networks like Guidepoint as an extension of their project team to rapidly access relevant expertise and actionable insights.
To find out more about the unique relationship between consultants and expert networks, we recently spoke with a consultant from a leading management consulting firm to better understand his experience with using expert network services.
Let’s check out the interview highlights.
Please tell us, on average how many one-to-one expert consultations do you conduct per project?
It depends, but it could be a big number; up to 50 to 60 phone consultations per project.
What is your experience with expert networks so far?
For the part that I am responsible for, the experience is excellent. A good project manager can find me the right experts in the early stages, which saves me a lot of time getting the information I need the most.
What advice would you give to your peer colleagues who are using expert networks?
First of all, I think the number of expert consultations “the more the better”, so I suggest collecting more expert information and profiles at the beginning.
