Today, we must focus right on consultancy service, trying to explain its importance and the duties of its interpreters.

At a general level, consultancy is a professional performance designed to provide assistance and/or ride along for clients. An adviser is a real trainer and he is able to use his experience to give advice, information and solutions about the object of the requested service.

There are many forms of consultancy, so we will see now the kinds closer to companies.

Business consultancy.

This category includes the main types of consultancy. A company may indeed to need support in lots of different areas. It is a 360-degree co-existence and it may include all sectors of your business. A management consultant has a wealth of experience about companies: techniques, psychology, administration, computer and much more till to reach legal aspects. An adviser therefore needs to be a competent and capable person in order to offer efficient and quality services. The main characteristics which distinguish a consultant are:

–          Ability to listen

–          Capacity of interpreting.

–          Communication skills

–          Practical

–          Theoretical and practical knowledge

The consultant is not a simple job and the tasks of this figure cannot easily be managed by any person. This is why consultancy is in greater demand than ever before by companies.

Now we see the kinds of consultancy falling within business services.

1. a)   Legal advice: of course, companies can need clarifications and advice about their own legal positions and for all sorts of reasons. A legal consultant is often a lawyer too and, if necessary, he acts directly on behalf of company itself, facing the judicial authorities. This kind of consultancy is very important because underestimating legalities, a company may impair its image or the productivity and, in some cases, its existence too.

1. b)   Psychological counselling: many managers do not know how to handle clients or employees. In some cases, a manager cannot also manage the burdens of responsibility. Psychological advice also is an essential service today. From marketing to personnel management, strategies disregarding the psychological aspects are statistically failed strategies.

1. c)    Financial advice: the financial sector includes financing and investment. A company may require this type of consultancy to minimise the risks to fall into fraud and to be sure to choose in the most effective and convenient way.

1. d)      Advice on employment: personnel management and administration, accounting and financial aspects. These are the main tasks of an employment consultant. In this case also, to choose convenient and productive strategies is essential to be successful. Often, however, at the beginning of a business project you don’t have the necessary experience to assess the right strategies.

1. e)      Computer consultancy: IT tools are today the main topics of success. Budget software, analytical systems and more are the main tools for an effective business monitoring and for impressive cost reductions. An IT consultant is able to propose the best solutions from a technical point of view

1. f)    Directional advice: the directional consultant supports the Director more closely. He is an expert in internal processes analysis and he is able to identify the right strategies to solve problems and to achieve the objectives. Business plan falls within its sphere of competence too.
