In consulting, the old adage is the firm with the best talent wins. Securing top talent is, of course, essential to success. But in today’s higher competitive marketplace, the firm that manages its resources most effectively usually comes out ahead. Is your firm managed as efficiently as it could be? Should be? Having the right people on the right projects at the right time is no longer a luxury for consulting firms—it’s absolutely essential for the firm, the client and the bottom line.

Optimizing project execution is one of the keys to profitability and too many firms are leaving money on the table because of inefficient operations—they just don’t have the right decision-making data available at their fingertips. Too often transparency in project accounting—particularly in terms of talent, time, utilization, expenses, billing and revenue recognition—is lacking and leads to missed opportunities. Can you see inside the project in real time to gain insights on its effectiveness?

To explore this topic further, plan now to join us online May 21 and uncover answers to such critical questions as:

  • Is your firm optimizing project execution and profitability?
  • How can you get the right people on the right projects at the right time?
  • What are the key pitfalls to avoid when it comes to effective firm management?
  • What are some of the professions’ best practices in resource management?
  • What steps should your firm be taking right now to optimize project execution?
  • PLUS—get answers to your own questions by industry experts during the live Q&A session immediately following the presentation.
