Sometimes a business decides to expand into a new line of business. It can be a new product line, or an extension into its own line of business at procurement level or sales level, or it can be a totally different line of business. And naturally will not have a clue about its viability, strategy or implementation. The business might not have enough staff to do a research on this, and its staff may not be interested in moving into this new area fearing that they might lose their job, if this research proves negative. Besides, inside an organization, every process is specialized and mundane, and staff is usually not capable of doing something other than what he has already done. This can be a problem faced by small businesses to large ones, as all of them are managed by people-humans.
So companies hire consultants. Experienced consultants are professionals at handling various types of engagement. Through experience they are trained that way. Always willing to work on new challenges, new industries and new systems. This mindset of the consultants, helps these businesses overscome these issues.

Many a times businesses grow from a tiny startup to a large one. We call it an organic growth. But usually from the inception stage, especially in traditional businesses, the promoter designs his business copying a competitor. As the business grows, the competition in the market will get more tight. It will no longer be possible to survive by doing the same thing that other competitors also do.
The need to do something crazy, totally different, that which will catch your competitors off guard giving you the advantage of time is needed. This might not be possible by the existing management team, who are fully oriented to the present way of doing things. The routine processes who have made their creative juices low and dry. The hierarchy in the organization against promoting any employee to be innovative. At this times, businesses need an expert from outside to bring fresh ideas. This expert will not only bring in fresh ideas, put will also work out to break mental barriers by making the employees themselves bring about new ideas (to create a sense of ownership and commitment). A external consultant can break heirarchy barriers and bring out the best from anyone. And then set budgets, targets and make action plans that can be applied to visualize the plan to action. It does not end there, as plans on a paper are useless unless its dynamic. That is can be changed from time to time, based on the changing market conditions or response of its stakeholders. Companies hire expert business consultants and startegists for this purpose. Now you know a new reason why companies hire business consultants and strategists to achieve their vision.

It is this passion that made them start it, and that makes them continue with it – be it good times or bad.
But passion or this love, has a side effect. It sometimes makes us blind to facts. We fall in so much love with our idea, process, product etc that we might end up arriving at wrong assumptions and making a wrong a decision. This is where external advisors, we call Business Consultants come in. An experienced consultant will have years of experience working in different sectors, segments and functionalities, and there by will have wider perspective than a businessman who has been doing the same business for so many years. This background of the consultant helps in making dispassionate neutral opinions, which can save the business if its going in wrong direction. A simple advise can result in a change, that might save a company lakhs or crores of rupees as investment, cost or vanishing revenue. Some times, the benefits an advise will be reaped after many years. That is why the fee paid to a consultant is not considered as an expense, but as an investment. Now you know a new reason why companies hire business consultants and strategists to achieve their vision. At Ameen Ahsan Strategy Consulting (AASC), this is what we do.
