CONSULTING APPROACHES
Bernard Associates offers a variety of flexible approaches to service client needs. Generally, the firm has worked with clients in five different ways:
- Executive Consulting
Bernard Associates has pioneered a new consulting model which the firm calls "Executive Consulting." This approach enables clients to engage a senior-level consultant with consulting, domain, and facilitation expertise to lead an executive and his or her departmental or intra-departmental team through the consulting process. Utilized successfully by Bernard Associates with several Fortune 500 clients, this unique approach has proven to enhance project implementation rates, to retain internal intellectual capital, and to reduce consulting costs dramatically.
