Consultancy is a broad term that covers a range of services. Ask Identity activities focuses on helping individuals, organisations and groups function better. Working with a Consultant means drawing on the wider understanding, experience and skills of a specialist who is used to dealing with a particular set of circumstances. Situations that are outside the usual ‘norms’ can then be met with confidence and assurance – enabling planning rather than experimenting – thus saving time, reducing cost and increasing effectiveness.
The exact process of any consultancy will be designed and negotiated according to your needs and your situation.
However, typical elements are:
- Contracting
- agreeing the focus of the work,
- it’s desired outcomes,
- how we will work together and
- the terms and conditions of the consultancy.
- The consultant can guide the process, allowing you to concentrate on the content of your challenge(s) and their solution(s).
- The consultant can ask questions from a different perspective.
- The consultant can offer theoretical and practical knowledge relevant to your situation.
- The consultant can bring energy to the analysis and design that may speed up the process.
* No, HR dilemma to deal with
* Flexible for project specific work
* Contract can be terminated whenever suits you or your business

- We work with, rather than for you. Your input into the consultancy process is as significant as ours.
- Once we have designed a process with you, we’ll be flexible about who does what. We realise that, if your budget is tight, you may want to do more of the work.
- We will draw on knowledge from a range of fields –and offer insights so you can decide whether they are relevant to your context.
- If, after initial discussions, we feel we can’t help you, we will say so.
- We only charge for the work we actually do, but If you feel that we have been of benefit from your first consultation meeting and can support you further in your journey then your first two subsequent meetings will be discounted.
