In this episode, Helene has embarked on a journey through the intricate world of consulting capabilities. From the strategic North Star to the heart of business operations, and from finance & risk as the guardians of integrity to sales and marketing as the company's rockstar, she has explored how consulting brings the wind to your business sails.

If seven high-level competencies are paramount for any thriving organization, consulting firms mirror these business functions of their client organizations through their capabilities. It's an attempt to classify consulting offerings in the same manner one might organize their bookshelf – by theme, relevance, and genre. Except here, it's about aligning services with organizational needs.

Remember, in the modern business symphony, every consulting capability plays its unique tune, creating a harmonious ensemble that helps companies navigate the complex financial labyrinth and emerge victorious. Tune in for great insights.

As we approach the final phase of our journey on how to "Buy consulting services like a pro," today, we will delve into the critical topic of preparing for the transition when the consultants depart. Let us tell you that this is one of the most crucial steps in securing the impact of your project. You might wonder why.

Well, projects are inherently temporary, and consultants won't be there forever to support you at every step. Think of it as a child's journey toward independence, acquiring the skills to live a life without perpetual reliance on parents for support. Similarly, you must have a plan in place for the inevitable moment when your consultants bid farewell.

From this point forward, you must learn to function without depending on the expertise and support of the consultants. In this journey toward independence, procurement plays a pivotal role in ensuring a smooth transition and preserving the project's legacy. Join Helene in this engaging episode as she reveals how to prepare for this transition.
