MC101: Is a series of information about management consulting.

Why hire a management consultant?

Management consulting is a helpful service that can help you improve your business performance and achieve your goals. Management consultants can provide expert advice, guidance, and support on various aspects of business. They can also offer many benefits for your business.
It is important to understand the pricing for management consulting services and to select the delivery model that works best for your company’s project.

How is management consulting priced?

The cost of hiring a management consultant depends on several factors, such as the size and reputation of the consulting firm, the scope and complexity of the project, the level of expertise and experience of the consultant, and the duration and location of the engagement.

 

Management consulting rates in Canada

According to reliable sources, management consultants in North America may charge anywhere between $100 to $1,000 per hour.
In Canada an average management consultant rate is around $110 per hour which was the industry average according to Statistics Canada in 2022. This has changed a little since then, it’s still a good barometer for measuring your expenses and for reviewing the alternatives.

Consulting Rates

We offer competitive rates and frequently provide buyers with insight as to how they are developed.

Whether that is at a discount to the market average, or increased due to higher onboarding costs of your project – it is important to understand the inputs associated to delivering your desired level of service.

S&Co., Supply Chain Logistics Consulting Inc.
Keep in mind, any average rate is only a market price for goods or services that differentiate greatly by industry, type, geography, and availability of supply, in this case that’s required talent and expertise. The actual cost of a management consulting engagement may vary depending on the specific situation and our rates are competitive by industry standard.

 

Standard Services

We offer buyers a set of standard service packages.

Buyers can avoid cost escalations often associated with customization and can better control project expenses.

S&Co., Supply Chain Logistics Consulting Inc.

 

It is important to understand the inputs associated to delivering your required level of service for a management consulting engagement. Project costs can change with market conditions, so there are a few ways to plan for the unexpected and have a positive result.

 


Management Consulting Projects

What is the Next Step?

To get a more accurate estimate of how much a management consultant would cost for your project, you might request a proposal using our contact form or schedule your first meeting with us for no charge.

 

Discovery Meeting

Schedule Yours Free

We conduct free discovery meetings with you and this discussion helps us to understand your requirements. If needed, we can develop a proposal outside of a standard service plan.

S&Co., Supply Chain Logistics Consulting Inc.

 

Management consultants may also charge a fixed fee for a project-based engagement, which can be more predictable and transparent for the client. However, this may also require more upfront planning and scoping to define the deliverables and milestones.

 

Service Plans

We offer service plans to clients that enable you to secure our availability for your priorities and will restrict your account to the plan allocation.

Service add-ons and upgrades to meet extra demand are available. Quantities are limited by our ability to provide for prioritized plans.

S&Co., Supply Chain Logistics Consulting Inc.

In certain situations it will be beneficial to provide open terms and enable greater flexibility through the course of the project with less clear objectives at the start.

Billable Hours

General service agreements enable our work with your organization under broad terms and conditions.

Billable hours and reasonable expenses can provide a starting point for paid support services and expertise contracted for a consulting engagement.

S&Co., Supply Chain Logistics Consulting Inc.
Without knowing exactly what work is needed, or the exact duration of the project, general service agreements provide a framework to guide clients and consultants into a productive, manageable engagement for the best results.

 

Requests for Proposal

Do you have your specifications and a project plan ready?

Email your request for a proposal with the details of your project to sales@supplychainlogistics.net

S&Co., Supply Chain Logistics Consulting Inc.
We will do our best to redirect any out-of-scope inquiries to another resource when a more suitable solution is a better match for your case.
