WHAT IS BUSINESS CONSULTING?
Business consulting is the comprehensive analysis of a company’s internal structure with the goal to improve a company’s operations. Business consultants often focus on developing strategies and improving the efficiency of a specific branch of a company’s operations such as marketing, human resources (HR), information technology (IT), sales, and more.
KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BUSINESS COACHING AND BUSINESS CONSULTING
A business coach prioritizes long-term goal setting, strengthens your leadership abilities, motivates your team to collaborate and align with your company’s values and goals, and gives you insight into several directions you can take your company to promote growth.
A business consultant is trusted with creating solutions, and making and suggesting decisions and changes on behalf of the business owner. Business consultants have expertise in a particular area of operations where the business owner may not have much experience. Business consultants will develop strategies and solutions for immediate issues and challenges.
The key differences are business coaching involves integrating long-term potential challenges, goals, and aspirations into consideration, while business consulting focuses on solutions to current, short-term challenges. Clients who seek business coaching want to be motivated and feel empowered to take on leadership in their company, while clients who seek business consultants want expert-developed solutions to current obstacles in daily operations to create a smooth, more efficient daily workflow.
