Partnering with consulting companies has become a common practice in the current market context. More and more organizations need an external perspective and professional advice when it comes to solving their business challenges. Developing the partnership between the client and consultant, both at organizational and individual level, is one of the key factors for a fruitful collaboration. The major benefits come from mutual agreement and engagement, while results are influenced by setting up the framework, aligning vision, objectives and expectations and defining resources. Sometimes, a clarification session at the beginning of the collaboration is a useful procedure to put things on the right track.
