Business / Technology consulting - Anyone help?
Discussion
Hi
I currently work for a major IT services outsourcing firm, and work across many elements of service management (process engineering, change management, project management, proposals / bids, cost reduction etc etc).
I have 10 years experience (starting from helpdesk management, right through to budgeting, operational management etc) and am interested in setting something up on my own (probably start it along side day job out of hours) to work with small to medium businesses to look at efficiencies and cost reduction (primarily with process, use of technology etc).
2 questions you may be able to assist with:
1) Does anyone do anything similar outside of my geographical area (I am based on south coast and would concentrate around Southampton / Portsmouth) who would be happy to partner up for a commission to save me "re-inventing the wheel"?
2) Any ideas on how to cost out with these current times? It feels like a "results driven" model would attract more custom Vs a day rate, but I feel it would get messy trying to write up a contract that stipulates a timeframe AND customer deliverables for adhering to any change / processes etc.
Aim would be to use some holiday initially if I landed anything that I couldn't work out of hours, and see how it goes - thanks.
