Finding the right consultantSo, how do you go about finding the right consultant? Do your research. Start by asking around. Get referrals from people you know who have worked with particular consultants. Understand that fundraising and creative consultants work best with relationships and the value provided. It’s not about methodology and deliverables, it’s about achieving desired outcomes with the help of their expertise. Consider that working with a consultant is an investment, not an expense. Be prepared to pay for expertise you need to advance your organization. Let them know your budget. That way they know what kind of proposal to put together. Consider engaging them in a discovery/needs assessment project (paid) to determine whether you can work together on the larger project or process. Your organization will get a clearer picture of what the real challenges are and get recommendations to address them. Julie Mikuska· |
