How to save millions of euro on consultancy services – The story of Strand
Consult’s strategic reports Around the world many companies spend millions of
euro on expensive consultants. Some of those consultants even have a limited
knowledge about the mobile industry, but know a great deal about processes and
how to implement new processes in practice. Being a customer with that type of
company can occasionally be an expensive pastime and many companies are left
with a feeling of have being visited by a senior consultant and 10 junior
consultants that had been working under the motto: “Lend me your watch and I’ll
tell you the time” Many Stand Consult employees have a past as traditional
consultants and in previous jobs often classified customers by the number of
hours, days, weeks or months of consultancy the customer could afford. The
target was to sell 67% of the total available man hours the consultancy firm
could produce. When we founded Strand Consult in 1995, our goal was not to sell
people or hours, but to sell knowledge and create value. We realised that if we
could use the consultants’ analytical approach, combined with a very high level
of industry knowledge and a simple and effective method to communicate
knowledge, we would be able to save our customers an enormous amount of
expensive consultants. Our goal was not to sell high-end temps to our customers,
but to create a knowledge transfer to customers, enabling them to quickly and
more efficiently achieve success. During the past 17 years we have published a
great number of reports, where we not only explain how the telco industry looks,
but also how it will develop in the future. We have focused on collecting the
knowledge you need to more easily navigate a complex industry with increasing
competition. The market player that can operate their business in the most
cost-effective manner will have an increased probability of winning in the long
term. Currently we have 6 focus areas: – The mobile broadband market – The MVNO
market – The market for Value Added Services – Next Generation Prepaid Services
– The Smartphone market – Digital strategy for the Telecom and Media industry.
We have spent many man years researching and publishing a series of
comprehensive reports and workshops focused on these areas. Market players that
have ambitions of being successful within these areas can either try to gain an
overview themselves, find solutions and purchase external consultants to help
them on their way, or alternatively use Strand Consult’s reports – with or
without workshops -to acquire the knowledge they need to be successful in the
future. You can read more about some of our reports here: Successful Strategies
