The irony of consulting is that we need consultants. GREAT perspective and delivery THANK YOU
The hybrid model - Solo practice and productized - works best for me. Still building and expanding.
Yeah my story has started with DIY model and now is transforming into productization!
I was thinking about how I could structure a consulting business around my family obligations and you just spelled it out for me. I choose the Hybrid Model. It works for me. Thank you so much.
Great perspective on structuring a service based buisness. I recently productions my service and operating as a SAS company has been a great step. Currently looking to hire/partner with others to scale effectively.
I'm utilizing a two person team and productized model. I love thinking about this as a hybrid. Thanks!
You're very welcome Rebecca and that's great you're using those models as a hybrid.
Informative and empowering. You essentially confirmed that I am on the right rack, which is always a boost to the confidence. Thank you for your knowledgeable presence in the field!
Very helpful Michael. I assumed the productized model is how I'd launch my business and the hybrid is how I intended to scale. I just never identified them like this. Thank you.
Sounds good @michael Lombardi let us know if we can help and support you.
Informative. I've just established a consulting business in Botswana. I prefer the hybrid model.
Brilliant to know I am starting on my own business journey and my thinking, planning and conclusions has already led me to the hybrid model path. Such great confirmation and validation.
In software consulting, the productized model is absolutely how we crush it and deliver. You’re, fundamentally, buying weeks of development time from one of our teams.
I agree - I have a HR Consulting business. But the focus is on 3 core offerings- Talent Acquisition/onboarding, Dispute Resolution and Onboarding (outplacement and redundancy management)
I use associates for various processes that they are experts (highly experienced) in.
Hi I am planning similar. Could you pls help me with more insights. I am just a beginner.
Thank you so much for these insights. However Michqel could you please give me some tips on how to get fundings for creating a consulting business?
Spot on
One model maybe it is the same as the product one is to turn your digitalised your knowledge
I might be in the wrong career but I want to be able to build a company for my clients and I want to help people find two people to make a cartoon or make a video games /cards games but I don't know what model will work for me
Hybrid model - Solo Practise with Productised. Then, who knows what God says, Firm Model might come up.
1. Solo Consulting Model (DIY)
2. Consulting Firm Model (MBB, …)
3. Productized Consulting Model (Specialized Service)
4. Hybrid Model (Combination of all three models above)
