BASF Inhouse Consulting’s Post

In the dynamic business world, the question often arises - 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘄𝗲 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺? 𝗘𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘀. 💡 Inhouse consultants have a deep understanding about your business, its culture, its people, and challenges. This allows them to provide tailored, relevant advice. They're committed for the long haul, they're motivated to drive change from within, and their success is directly tied to the company's success. ⚖️ On the other hand, external consultants bring a fresh perspective, unburdened by internal politics and preconceived notions. They come with diverse industry experience, offering innovative ideas and best practices. However, their commitment is typically project-based, and they may lack the deep context that inhouse consultants possess. 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀'𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀, 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗼𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀. For some companies, like BASF, a healthy combination of both is the best solution. 💪 That way, we can leverage the power of consulting - be it inhouse or external - to drive change and improvement. #consulting #businessstrategy #inhouseconsulting #externalconsulting #businessimprovement
