Great projects or healthy margins?
Your employees make every effort to satisfy their customers and deliver great projects. However, great projects are not enough for a consultancy firm. Successful growth also requires you to have enough billable hours and projects delivered with healthy margins.
Stay two steps ahead of your competitors
Service providers and consultancy firms are doing well in the Netherlands. The economic recovery and digitalisation have boosted turnovers in recent years, but a chronic shortage of staff and increasing competition are hampering this growth. Winning and retaining customers is therefore quite challenging. Achieving growth as such is not enough. You also need to achieve returns from this growth.
How to get a higher return from your growth
The customer remains critical, wants more added value and wants its services delivered at ever more competitive hourly rates. In practice, we see that internal inefficiencies are standing in the way of this value creation: how many spreadsheets and tools do you need in your day-to-day work? The entry of hours, project lists and so on causes a lot of hassle and mistakes, particularly in dynamic project environments. This type of time-consuming, unprofessional work also tends to involve unnecessary duplication of effort.
How can you prevent your healthy margins from being wiped out by lack of insight? How can you grow professionally without losing valuable time fire-fighting and correcting mistakes caused by internal inefficiencies?
