Consultancy
Consultancy assignments vary enormously and it is essential to meet and discuss requirements prior to making a commitment.
| Inncon’s Approach to Consultancy: |
|
|
|
|
 |
Discuss requirements at an initial meeting. Inncon will not charge for this session and will provide feedback, |
 |
Agree and document requirements, approach, timeline deliverables and cost. Ensure details are in writing and there is an audit trail of the agreement or supporting contract, |
 |
The cost may be a day rate or fixed price. If an investigation is required then an initial cost and deliverable will be agreed and any further cost agreed on delivery, |
 |
On completion of the assignment we recommend a final meeting to confirm delivery to expectation and future contact. |

Transitions
The transitional period incorporates far more than the implementation of a change. It is a journey that begins with the reason for that change and ends when all stakeholders have accepted that change both from an emotional perspective as well as the more practical elements.
Transition managers have the extended skills required to manage the diversity of the change elements, range of personalities involved, essential communication requirements as well as excellent project management skills.
|
Inncon will provide Transition management, an approach and additional skills where required. |
|
Please note that the earliest involvement in the change programme and costing process is beneficial |
|
Inncon can provide input to the bid process |
Please read the free White Paper on Transitions for an overview of Inncon’s approach.
