Smart small business owners often outsource services such as bookkeeping, marketing and IT, understanding that it makes more sense to pay accountants, marketing experts and IT consultants to be part of their team so that they can leverage their strengths, focusing on the things they do best and only they can do.

For many smaller businesses, a project manager or human resources manager are not roles that the business needs full time or can afford to employ full time, and it can be more difficult to find consultants with expertise in these areas. As business grows, owners can become increasingly overwhelmed by trying to handle HR and project management tasks along with sales and all of their other responsibilities. When owners are busy wearing too many different hats and not focusing on their strengths, sales and customer service can suffer.

Many of our business clients find it helpful to consult with us on a process or project that feels overwhelming, inefficient or that they just can’t get to on their own. Our professional business productivity consultants have extensive backgrounds and expertise in human resources and project management and have worked in and with many corporations, companies and businesses of all sizes. We can provide an objective perspective on maximizing resources, building effective teams, optimizing workflow, establishing effective delegation and communication, and planning out the work.

Human Resources
For example, do you need to hire a new employee but you are too busy to organize recruiting and onboarding efforts? Many of our small business clients benefit from our expertise when they need to grow their teams. They turn to us to help strategize, develop and facilitate their hiring processes and other HR needs. Whether it is identifying what role to add to a team, writing job descriptions, strategizing how and where to find the right employee, or planning and assisting with the interview and onboarding processes, our business productivity consultants can help.

Project Management
Do you have ideas for projects you would like to do but not enough time to get to them, or difficulty breaking your ideas down into projects and tasks, estimating what it will take to get them done, identifying resources to do the work, delegating tasks, and following up or following through? We can help with the project planning and project management that will turn those ideas into successfully completed projects, freeing up your time and energy so you focus on your strengths and highest priorities.

What kind of support could help make your business thrive? If you are wearing too many hats we can help you figure out what would be most the effective and achievable actions to reduce overwhelm, optimize productivity and  leverage your strengths so you can reach your business goals.
