Consulting Questions
Common starting points.
We know something needs to change in the business, but we are not sure what. Can Denise help?
Yes. The first stage can focus on understanding the current situation, objectives, constraints and where the main issues or opportunities may lie.
Does business consulting have to involve technology?
No. Some requirements are primarily strategic, operational or organisational. Technology is considered where it is relevant to the business problem.
Can Denise help us decide where AI could be useful?
Yes. Business consulting can connect directly with AI strategy and help identify where AI may support real business objectives or workflows.
Can Denise work with startups and founders?
Yes. Startup and founder requirements can include business-model thinking, positioning, technology decisions, priorities and strategic problem-solving.
Can consulting involve data analytics?
Yes. Some business decisions require better measurement, evidence or analysis, so data analytics can form part of the wider consulting requirement.
Can Denise support digital transformation?
Yes. Digital transformation work can examine technology alongside processes, people, operating models and organisational objectives.
Is ongoing advisory available?
Selected ongoing advisory engagements may be considered where the requirement benefits from continued strategic input over time.
What should we include when making an enquiry?
Explain the organisation, what is happening now, the challenge or opportunity, what you want to achieve and any important deadlines or constraints.
