Our Consultancy Process

The goal of the first meeting is for International Business Consultancy to acquire a deeper understanding of the international services your business needs and your international business goals, and to learn as much as possible about your business. During this initial phase, we will agree on a course of action based on the information you provided and international business insights. The initial consultation will also look at your strategic objectives or any specific areas you wish to discuss.

The objective of the initial consultation will be to agree on any next steps, the consulting process and to schedule follow-up discussions to give and receive feedback.

Business goals specify your organisation's objectives and indicate the international business path that the company plans to take. These objectives will help your business guide its international activities in the proper direction. The intention is to establish priorities and position your business for long-term success when implementing international business goals. At International Business Consultancy, we can substantially enhance and accomplish business goals by taking the time to agree on specific objectives with you.

Defining your business goals is of vital importance as they help to set company strategies, establish business models, and complete the required consulting process.

A business case is a proposal that is intended to inform the decision-makers within your business on international topics and influence them to take action that will benefit the company. At International Business Consultancy, we help your organisation produce a business case to provide justification for undertaking an international project. We will assist you in evaluating the benefits, risks, and costs while providing a rationale for the preferred international business solution.

Depending on the length of the business case and consulting process, we can assist with writing an executive summary to support the business case.

An essential step in the project planning and consulting process is to define the project scope. This is so that the project scope, which is crucial for creating the project budget and schedule, can clearly identify what will and won't be included in the project activity. We will divide the project into the tasks and deliverables that must be completed in order to achieve the project's objectives, satisfy stakeholder demands, and ensure success.

International Business Consultancy will produce a project scope statement, which is a written description of the agreed-upon scope of the project. The scope statement can be a stand-alone document, or we can include it in the project plan, depending on how complex the project is. 

To support the agreement between you and our company, we can also convert the project scope statement into a statement of work (SOW) if required.

Project execution is the stage of the consulting process where everything we have planned is put into action. Typically, the project execution phase is the most difficult and longest part of the project life cycle. The main goals of project execution are to accomplish the tasks outlined in the project management plan and to satisfy the project's major goals. International Business Consultancy will also consider the demands of executives, project team members, and other stakeholders.

Meeting corporate objectives and providing value to stakeholders depend heavily on project execution.

To realign the consulting process with a project's objectives, monitoring and controlling is a crucial stage in project management. The monitoring and control phase of the project occurs at the same time as the project execution phase. When monitoring and controlling the project we will an eye on progress, assessing any roadblocks, and putting required adjustments into place. In this stage, we have a duty to keeping to the agreed timelines and to keeping spending in check.

International Business Consultancy will give real-time status reports that support decision-making and keep stakeholders informed throughout the monitoring and control phase.

During the consulting process, delivering what was agreed upon within the project's scope is considered effective project completion. Furthermore, we will confirm that the international business solutions are meeting all acceptance criteria, meeting stakeholder needs, and achieving corporate goals.

A closure meeting is the last action taken in the formal closing of the project. As is customary, International Business Consultancy will review the final outputs with the client at this meeting, discuss whether any follow-up work will be needed, and present a completion report for the client to sign. 

We make sure that the final international solution meet’s our client’s expectations.

Once the international business solution is implemented and working well for the client’s business, we establish ongoing support and training. International Business Consultancy will stay in touch with you after the project and consulting process end and share thoughts on developments within the field of international business.

After the project ends, you will still have access to an expert to assist with any issues or challenges that may arise.
